84 years ago on October 7, 1932, a novel titled "Save Me the Waltz" was published. The novel, written by Zelda Fitzgerald, loosely (actually very tightly) chronicles her life story and her marriage.

It was 84 years ago a female writer published her first novel and it flopped in a male dominant industry. Her husband called her a "third-rate writer." Zelda never wrote again after that. She was married to F. Scott Fitzgerald.

This is article isn't about their toxic relationship or why she hated Ernest Hemingway. This is written to honor and celebrate Zelda Fitzgerald as it should have been done 84 years ago.

Here's to the mysterious Zelda Fitzgerald:

1. Zelda was the muse to F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Daisy Buchanan? Yep, that's actually Zelda. The story of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan is based on the story of Zelda and Scott. Even some of the dialogue from Daisy came from Zelda. The "beautiful little fool" quote by Daisy was actually said by Zelda.

2. She was the wild child we all aspire to be.

With the exception of getting drunk on abinsthe, we all aspire to be wild like Zelda. In her teen years she would wear nude bathing suits and go swimming. This sparked rumors around town that she skinny dipped.

3. The first flapper

The Roaring '20s was a decade of non-stop partying, pearls, and jazz music. Much like Kurt Cobain and the grunge movement, Zelda led the flapper movement. Young, independent, and ready for a party, Zelda was the OG flapper.

4. She could put a party girl in her place.

You thought you partied wild in college? Zelda has been kicked out of the multiple hotels including the Biltmore Hotel. She also took a jump into the Union Square fountain. She partied in Paris with many other celebrities at the time.

5. Not only did she write but also an artist.

It's a little known fact that Zelda was also a painter and is now labeled as a visionary artist. Most of her art features city scenes and... dance.

6. Dancing was an obsession that drove her mad.

When painting didn't go over well she picked up dancing. Ballet became her obsession but the desire to be perfect drove her to madness. She declined an offer to dance at San Carlo Opera Ballet Company.

7. She tried to save the waltz.

After being drove to madness by the dancing she began writing her first novel "Save Me the Waltz." Sadly, her novel was heavily criticized. This only caused problems between her and Scott.

8. Zelda was a roast master.

Scott would often use Zelda's journals to influence his novels. Zelda later said, "plagiarism begins at home."

9. Witchy Woman by Eagles is about her.

Don Henley was reading the 1970 biography "Zelda" by Nancy Milford when he was inspired by her story. Zelda was mysterious much like a "witchy woman." She even "drove herself to madness."

10. "The Legend of Zelda" is named after her.

Princess Zelda gets her name from guess who? Zelda Fitzgerald.

11. There is even a television series in the works.

"Z: The Beginning of Everything" is based on " Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald." The series is set to premiere on February 10, 2017 and will have Christiana Ricci portraying Zelda.

Zelda Fitzgerald died by fire on March 10, 1948 at the age of 47 years old. She continues to live on as muse in writing, music, video game design, and so on. The story of Zelda is the story of a girl who got caught up in the glamorous life and let it consume her. Living in the shadow of her husband only caused their relationship to be destructive. She wrote many short stories and poems before her novel, she also painted for a brief time. By far, the talent she was obsessed with the most was dancing. This is what destroyed her.
