- louisa’s childhood loves of contemporary writing starting with fanfiction, playing video games (notably Final Fantasy!!), Tatterhood, & Clockwork

- playing the long-game with her soul calling of being a writer

- how she spent five years writing several manuscripts & having them be rejected by agents yet persisting with ease because she knew her dreams manifesting were inevitable

- using her craft to explore, reflect, shed, & evolve into her authentic self and how she creates from what she knows now

- taking a break from projects when they’re not feeling aligned anymore

- other people’s art inspiring her to own her ‘weirdness’ as a person and artist

- transitioning from a chaotic quantitatively-driven creative practice into a more organized and intentional one that still honors the magick of the unknown

- the importance of loving what you’re creating and self-validation above all else

- working in solitude as an author versus the collaborative nature of game writing

- discovering there are different ways to be an adult that can honour her inner child
