The Power of Mythic Storytelling
The first quarter moon brings tension and motion. It marks the shift from intention to momentum. This is the part of the cycle when ideas begin to move, and early choices start to shape the outcome.
Myth Among the Stars
I’m glad you’re here.
Star Wars wasn’t the first story I loved, but it was the first that made me think about how stories are told. It turned pulp adventure into modern myth, made serialized spectacle feel sacred, and introduced a generation to the language of archetypes and structure. It gave permission to be both emotional and analytical, to care deeply and think critically. That balance, between sincerity and structure, is still the foundation of the work.
There’s a reason Galactic Fantasy is releasing today. It draws from the same lineage, shaped by planetary romance, space opera, and serialized wonder. It’s not about nostalgia. It’s about reclaiming a genre that still has meaning, when handled with intention. Myth doesn’t belong to any one franchise. It belongs to the storytellers who keep returning to it with care.
This is a time to act with care. The work is moving, and the direction is set. What matters now is follow-through. Let the steps be deliberate. Let the rhythm stay steady.
I hope you’re doing well today.

In Case You Missed It
The first quarter moon is a good time to check in. Some essays from earlier this cycle may still offer direction. If one fits the work you’re doing now, it’s worth revisiting.
