About Christian Michelle Franklin,

owner/operator An Earth Tale

I am a developing creative writer (novellas & screenplays). I started writing in childhood; the same years my sexual identity broke from societal norms, i.e I am Queer.

Ultimately, my goal is to write thought-provoking, ego-shattering, stories using inspirational elements portrayed by various successful writers. I am motivated by writers/artists which include: 

Kasi Lemmons, "Spike" Lee, Jordan Peele, Issa Rae, Sam Levison, Octavia E. Butler, Janelle Monae, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Beyonce, Solange, Lauryn Hill, Jaden Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Syd Da Kid, Teyana Taylor, Kanye West, and many many more.

Before following my dreams, I earned a B.S in Applied Learning and Development from the University of Texas at Austin. I was then commissioned into the U.S Air Force. After separating I spent some years working with children, young adults, and animals.

Personality Traits: Aquarius SUN, Scorpio MOON, Gemini RISING. Life Path #11.

Glad you're here to join me!

"Less was more for Fitzgerald-he was a poet, and he did better with tighter forms like the short story, the letter, the autobiographical essay and the short novel."
-Maureen Corrigan
"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
-Neil Gaiman
"But surely to tell these tall tales and others like them would be to spread the myth, the wicked lie, that the past is always tense and the future, perfect."
-Zadie Smith (White Teeth)
