Musical Awakening was written in layers.
The story on the surface — June Snow, Richmond Adams, years of near-misses and music and longing — is the one you read. But underneath it, woven through every chapter and tweet and blog post, there's a whole other layer of detail that rewards the readers who are paying close attention.
Consider this your decoder ring. 🎶
Spoiler warning: this post discusses details from throughout the novel.
At the time, I didn't know it would change my life.
I was standing at the beginning of a chapter I never planned for.
Everything felt uncertain, and I could have chosen to hide and cry (there was a lot of that). Instead, I decided to start a beginning. Knowing that my life wasn't over...it was just changing.
One cup became another.
And somewhere along the way, this project became a place where I could write honestly about rebuilding, growing, and figuring out who I was becoming.
Eleven years later, 100 Cups of Coffee has grown into so much more than I ever imagined!
Hi, I’m Megan Elvrum! ☕
I started blogging in 2012.
Somewhere along the way, it turned into something bigger than I expected… a space for rebuilding, growth, and figuring out who you are when everything changes.
Now, all these years later, I’m self-publishing my first novel Musical Awakening.
Thank you for being here! 💖
