I'm drafting a novel about a 17th century witch in Europe.

I'm a science teacher and museum educator, currently studying History and Philosophy of Science.

Just a witching #writer and #blogger, dealing with everything dark and #historical looking for people to join me on this journey! I'm writing a novel about the #witch who visited me in the pandemic to give me a reason to live. Sometimes I visit castle ruins and write #poetry.

Please follow me!
Full body portrait of a women standing in front of stairs built into a mountain. It is a cold autumn day and the landscape is brown and green. She has long red hair, a black hat with cat ears, and glasses on. She wears long black coat, red skirt, and botts. Her bag is red and rose shaped.

My friends are currently reading the first few pages of the witching novel.

I wrote 3000 more words today.

I am so excited!

And tired.

Im very much aware. I did museum work there for a little while, and I still admired their competence in navigating their work under such a government. I learned a lot.

Rewriting the first 30k words into their final shape! I'm doing it! Feels surprisingly good!

A hand with red nail polish and a raven skull ring on the index finger is holding up a colourful cup of coffee. In the background is a busy desk with an open laptop, an open journal, a closed one, a plant, and many more desk utensils.

Taking a walk helps with my migraines.

So, the past few days, I have been walking the fields wearing a coat over my nightdress, having an ashen face, while breathing heavily and chewing dry bread against my stomach sickness.

I'm the reason people are scared in the forest at night ...

I've been fighting a terrible migraine for the past three days. I'm only slowly coming back to life.

I'm jealous ;) I used to stay there for a work thing once, and it was such a wonderful place to live at.

Just an adult witch doing adult things, and not the dirty kind. Good morning ;)

Me to my mother:

"You gotta make a decision and wear it with confidence."

I was always the adult in this relationship.

"I've unlearned how to live"

#writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #poetry #poem #witch #historicalfiction
An open journal is held in front of a field during snow fall by a hand with red nail polish and a raven skull ring. The pages are moving in the wind. The handwritten lines are: "You can't leave me now! she begs, drowning out footsteps breaking the ice while moving away. "Cause I've unlearned how to live"

What a witching moment!

Dystopia can be so exhausting.

I've been thinking for a while now to start a new format called "Mistress Witch travels" where I do videos on environmentally friendly wats to travel to haunted historical places all over the world. Sounds cool?

Your museum witch just wants to let you know that fossils dress up to party after closing hour.
