When You Least Expect It: How Ivy Found Me

The Wayfarer Quinn | AI-aided image

I wasn’t planning to write a book. At all. I was just being my usual self—talking lazily, tossing ideas like confetti with no plan to clean up after.

Then something clicked. A few random dots connected, a character whispered her name... and suddenly, Ivy existed. 🌿

It didn’t start with a plot. It didn’t even start with intention. It started with a vibe.

What followed was a snowball of inspiration I didn’t ask for—but totally welcomed. One moment I was rambling; the next I was mapping her heart, sketching her secrets, building the world around her.

It’s wild how something unreal can feel more real than anything else. And when you least expect it...A story asks to be born. And you just say: okay.

“I wasn’t looking for a story. But Ivy was looking for someone to tell hers.”— Quinn Wayfarer

Stay tuned. She’s only just begun.
