A singularly important piece of advice I would rank as number 1. Read everything; think about what the words do, how they make you feel, think or change you, then consider how the writer did that…
Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:
Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

Genesis 2:16-17 saw the first betrayal, that of God when He told Adam and Eve that they would surely die if they ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
My new book explores the mystery of betrayal, especially as it has evolved in the tradition of witchcraft. From Ninth Circle Press.

As thou travellest the skies aloft,
Thy steps are strong on the wing of the heavens,
Thou art the glorious mother of the stars.“

The first and only (to date) book that explores and expands upon the compass in traditional witchcraft. I’m immensely proud of this book, and its reception.
