A creepy old house.
Some doubtlessly haunted woods.
Something unfurling from the shadows that whispers her name like a song.
Talia is starting to regret going off her meds.
The trouble is, she isn't crazy.
And that's so much worse.

Something about this time of year that makes me wake craving cool morning fog and rot.

The heat outside feels like an assault every time I open the front door. The Fall Yearnings have begun.

It's time to start my IngramSpark journey.

Light a candle for me.

Woke up today with a half- spun spider web concerningly close to my head. No sign of the spider, and I haven't been hungry all morning.

Tropical depression is also how I refer to my summer- onset seasonal affective disorder.

Your creative work isn’t going to be for everybody, but as a writer, there’s nothing quite like knowing your book is starting to find the right audience 🖤💜🖤

I came across this postcard sized story years ago and it's a little more eerie coming across it today...

Let's not forget the, "Feeling stressed out ABOUT what you've written" option. Personal fave.

Wow... I just got the BEST review I could imagine getting and I've never wanted to hug a stranger more...

Take this as your sign to go and say something nice about a book you enjoyed!

Is it writer's block when you just....don't wanna? Like the story is there and it's going along fine, but sitting down and doing the work just isn't the mood.

Reading and writing are both strong distractions when things aren't great. And then there's nature. Also distracting. But, as I learned last night when I left a light in my living room as the termite swarm began, not always a good one.

This is one of my comparative titles, as well as one of my comparative authors. Anyone else want to share theirs?

One night, a cockroach the size of a Bic lighter was on my bedroom wall. There was much screaming. Probably not from the cockroach-- I couldn't tell. Because of all the screaming. But the next day, this majestic golden creature appeared, so it all balances out.

Spooky tale for new authors:
My book JUST came out days ago, and this dude tanked my rating without buying or reading it, on the only platform I'm selling it on atm.🙄

They say don't read the reviews. They are CORRECT.

Does this count as some sort of hoarding? Asking for a friend.

Spotted on my walk. Are they trying to get vampires? Because this is EXACTLY how you get vampires.

Impulse library checkouts. I couldn't get through the first one, but I couldn't get out of the second.

Anyone reading anything they'd recommend?
