I use the pen name Masha Pavlova, which was suggested to me. I’m not actually from Russia. My pen name was suggested because the themes that I’ve discussed for my stories and what I’ve written have similar qualities to Russian literature, but with my own unique style.
One of my goals with my stories is to add beauty to the world. I know that’s been reduced to a trite cliché, but I struggle with mindfulness to make sure that I actually accomplish it without just making it empty words.
I’ve been publishing my stories to Medium, but I’ll post them here as well.
I’m going to use Deviant Art to share artwork that I create myself. I’ll share AI artwork for my stories here.
