I’m Z.M.! I’m 33, I think. I’m starting to lose track. I live in Saint Paul with my tall nerdy spouse, our dragon boy, a dog, and two cats. I love fantasy, coffee, and video games.
I am addicted to my creative outlets of drawing and writing, with a little bit of webdesign thrown in. I put together my own site years ago, and am currently at maryvanalstine.com.
This is my blog. Originally hosted as an internal page on a really old website years ago, I rambled for months – if not years – about my artistic endeavors, just sort of jotting down my thoughts about where I was creatively. I’ve kept up the momentum well into adulthood, and I love it.
Dreaming in Color has been around for eleven years! I started keeping it when I was knee-deep in my first novel project, and I’ve gone through so many phases since then. So much art! So many rambles! So much profanity! I just love it.

Hello,
I am reaching out to you because I’m doing some research for a mental health awareness campaign I’m working on. I was looking at a page of your site here (https://www.dreamingincolor.blog/category/emooo/), so I thought I would email you.
I noticed that you mentioned mental health on the page. I’d like to know if you’re actively working with outside organizations to continue covering this vital topic on your website.
In short, the goal is to find sites committed to keeping their audience informed about key issues like mental health and wellness. I’d love to explore if there’s an opportunity to support and sponsor your website to amplify these efforts—even if it involves a contribution or fee.
Please let me know if you want to hear more about this project. If not, I understand and don’t expect a response from you. Whatever you decide, thanks for your consideration & time.
Marie
