About
In 2016, Datura rediscovered their passion for literature and creative media after a heart-to-heart with several professors in their university's English Department.From there, they devoted their free time after class to write original works—eventually carrying what skills they’ve learned in college to the freelance field in hopes of providing fun and engaging stories for any and all to read in their free time.Datura has also written transformative scripts for animations, blog posts to advertise products, and short pieces portraying a client's character in multiple fictional worlds. Their current work-in-progress, PROJECT FLORUM, is a webnovel about four queer women who collaborate to save the world from an ecoterroristic threat.Some of Datura's dreams include collaborating with Vocalo-P, creating an original visual novel, and writing stories that revitalize one's love for life.
