Hey, my writing alias is FJ Brodie and, although I've been on WA for a number of years, I've only recently change my username to match.   I am a Dad of one and Husband of one, with chronic illnesses of two (ish). When my pain levels became too great to hold down a 'normal' job, I had to try and find other ways of supporting my family.   But first I had to adjust to the life changes, and I rediscovered drawing and writing.   So, a few years ago, a concept for a new world came into my head from a simple "what if?" question. A few years later, having written quite a lot, failed to get traditionally published, I am still writing.   I've taken the step of opening up Ko-Fi and Patreon to supporters and those that have I am truly grateful for.   Escaping to the Erdàn Savànii is a helpful coping mechanism for me, regardless. I just hope some of yous also enjoy my creations.   May the Elements Protect You
