When moon faced Jemma became a maid at the decrepit castle looming over the valley of Sudsbury, she never imagined what wild adventures she would encounter.

Woody: Look, I just don't think every movie needs a sequel, okay?

Jessie: How dare you! Some of the greatest characters in the world came from sequels!

Buzz: That's right, she did!

So I just heard the original theme music for "Enterprise..."

Reading Cher's memoir has unlocked 90's memories of when Old Navy brought back bell bottoms and called them flares. I tried to get my mom to buy me some when I was nine-ish, but it took all of ten seconds to realize they weren't going to fit me. In order to wear bell bottoms, you have to be built like a giraffe, and I'm more like a dumpy badger.

Honey Badger don't care. Honey Badger don't need to conform your western beauty standards anyway.

If you haven't read "Bad Feminist" by Roxane Gay...why?

It's not an exaggeration to say "Toy Story" changed my life. "Toy Story" made me who I am today. From the moment I saw it in the theater I became obsessed. I wanted to know everything about it. Because of "Toy Story" I learned about animation, not just as the cartoons I saw on TV, but as an art form with a long, rich history. For most of my childhood until community college, I wanted to be an animator at Pixar.

When my stepdad isolated me from the family, made me feel worthless, when I cried alone in bed at night, it was these characters I turned to for comfort. When I finally went to university, at the exact moment I was feeling apprehension and questioning my choices, God sent me a sign: a Woody doll, sitting on one of the bookshelves in the office. And I knew I was where I was meant to be.

I've had to take a step back from it in the past few years. I'll always consider it the love of my life, but I needed to redirect my creative energy into my original work. Except for the occasional humorous short, I retired from fanfic writing. Those fanfics got me to where I am as a writer. Because of "Toy Story", I learned to write, and today I have two independently published books and a third in progress. I take influences from many places, "Golden Girls", the Marx Brothers, Diana Wynne Jones, Barbara Holland. I wrote "Moon Face and the Dragons" in memory of my friend, Sara.

But because of "Toy Story", I am a writer.
