I wasn't always a writer. In fact, I was a non-writer, a serial quitter of diaries. If you were to rummage through the "Kit's Pack Rat Box," you would most likely find over twenty different notebooks inside. Each would have approximately five pages of illegible chicken scratch, the remaining sheets left forgotten and blank. It wasn't because I didn't have anything to say, for I was a child rarely at a loss for words—tall tales and quips were my specialty. It had to do with three things:

1). I didn't yet know the purpose of "writing it all down;"
2). I thought my imagination was too wild to share; and
3). I realized I had a bit of living to do before finding the right story to tell.

My grandpa once told me that I could do whatever I set my mind

A Look Back | My Beginning

Kit-Lyman-Childhood-Picture Pictures have always fascinated me. They can hold so much—memories, stories, feelings, a lifetime—and each of us look to find our own meaning in it all. 

You're probably wondering what this picture means to me. It may seem like a simple answer. Three little girls. They sit outside their country home, decorated like innocent play dolls just as Mother wanted. The oldest looks over her sisters, sur Read more of this blog post »

“We were like bananas. Stuck together, we were ripe and yellow. But the moment one was torn apart, all the rest turned black and rotten.”
Kit Lyman, Satan's Garden

“Let her go. Those three words sounded so easy, as if releasing Dani was as simple as cutting a balloon’s string and watching the sky swallow it whole. Instead, her memory was an anchor, pulling me into the darkness below. It reminded me that I was still just ten years old, stuck alone in the forest.”
Kit Lyman, Satan's Garden

“It was then that I realized I was holding on because I thought it made it easier. But in reality, I was stuck. I will never stop loving Dani, and there won’t be a day that goes by that I won’t think of her. But I can’t be stuck anymore.”
Kit Lyman, Satan's Garden

“We were like bananas. Stuck together, we were ripe and yellow. But the moment one was torn apart, all the rest turned black and rotten.”
Kit Lyman, Satan's Garden

“As far as I could tell, there were only two phases to losing someone. The separation between each felt something like a teeter-totter; right when I had become comfortable with the first, I was launched straight into the next.”
Kit Lyman, Satan's Garden

“The last thing I remembered as I headed over that edge was to never let her go. I knew she'd always been the one to build me wings for the way down.”
Kit Lyman, Satan's Garden
