FAQ of a Professional Mermaid

I'd like to answer some FAQ that I get asked in comments. I think folks would find it interesting! These are questions I get asked about tail swimming, underwater work and modelling, underwater performing, professional mermaid work and more. See something not listed? Ask me in the comments and I'll do up a second one! Q. How long can you hold you breath? A. I can do typically 2 and a half minutes if I am not moving, and 1-2 minutes if I am moving slowly. I am training to do longer. Breath holding can increase your risk of underwater blackout and drowning, so please never do it without supervision. If you want to learn to hold you breath, take an entry level freediving course. You will learn so much, AND be safe! Q. Do you have any certification? A. I am a certified freediver working toward my advanced certification through PADI. I am a member of AIDA Canada. I also have a degree in education, and a degree in child and youth development. I also have a level 3 early childhood

A Mermaid Story: Conclusion

Melasende was well aware that no human child could survive being born under the icy water’s surface.  Slowly, she crawled up onto the land, stopping for yet another contraction.  She found as dry a spot as she was ever likely to find on this late winter’s night, a tiny mound sheltered from wind and rain by the willow. She unwrapped the blanket, relieved to find that it was not as wet as she feared, and wrapped herself within to prepare for what was to come.  She had not long to wait.  The contractions came, closer and closer together.  Powerful muscles pulled her tail backwards, straightening the birth canal.  Maintaining  silenc

Rambling Road Ch 12 Final

 Turns out we were far enough out that there was no risk of being seen, although I could see both Maui and Hawaii off to the northwest and southwest, respectively.  We might have came out just northeast of Kona and their new home.  Climbing aboard the Little Minnie was easy, and all of the mermaids - Brooke included - came aboard without any concern for their tails. Ceylara borrowed Michelle's cellphone to call up Jeanette, and the rest of the adult mermaids dried off before walking into the ship's main galley.  While it was tight, Naury and Tony were happy to see us. Tony had a lot to talk to me about, and now that Kiki was five, she was r

Thank You All!

I wanted to write a thank you letter to everyone who's been following my story, Megan's Tail, and to everyone who's made it possible. When I first created this story, I was worried that it would receive zero attention. That no one would read it, that no one would comment on it. Since then, I have gained a small following of less than 50 watchers. Not much, but more than I hoped for. So believe me when I say everyone who has followed me has been a real inspiration. Without you all, I wouldn't have the motivation to continue. So, thanks! To everyone who's been reading the story, whether since day one or up until recently, thank you. And to everyone who's commented and faved my story, a special thank you to you all. Dedicated fans like you are what inspired me to keep writing and posting my work. I love knowing that my story has touched so many people, and I love hearing what other people love about it. Special shout out to @MarvelScales, @uglygosling, @CurrentTheMerboy, @puzzle1022
