I have been writing on this blog since 2012.
Fourteen years of blog posts, concert recaps, dating stories, coffee shop confessions, Five Fandom Friday lists, and late night tweets about music that meant so much to me. Fourteen years of putting words out into the world and hoping someone somewhere felt less alone because of them.
What I didn't always know was who was reading.
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.
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! 💖
