I feel like the year was split into two parts; one part before summer and with a second part in the fall. I want to capture the feeling I have at this moment. I want this to be a time capsule of what I've learned over the years, especially learning to open myself up at Girls Write Now. I used to write fairy tales mainly mermaids and fairies with myself and my friends starring in the stories. But there was a period of time when I didn't write at all, or I was writing but not sharing it with anyone. I want this video to help me remember why I love digital media and writing when I'm feeling lost or have writer's block. I want to hesitate less to create content when I'm less than happy—even if it's just jotting my thoughts down in a notebook. —Sharon Young
