Vespertine, my urge to write. Draw. Bake. Even though I love the good light. It seems...my doings are nocturnal. I guess that's why I have an affinity with cats. Bats. And tall black hats.

I dig deep into the soul of these aphotic days, short and early-blue. Reflective as I walk through bracing wind, earthy mulch of leaves. Seeking rest on return, home's warm welcome.

Your authorial voice is the product of your background, your education, your experiences, all the books you have read. It may change with time, and depending on the narrative voice you adopt, but will keep the same range and register. Celebrate it. It's unique.

Do not fear the night.
Face it boldly.
You and your creaking bones, fading memories, wine stained robe, and teetering piles of unread books belong to the darkness.

Be yourself.
Be helpful if you can.
Be insufferable if you have to.
Be as dark as you wish.
Be the reason a forest is considered haunted.
But most of all, be kind and stay weird.

Yes, the forest is haunted.
But that's not a bad thing.
The creatures of moss & gloom, twigs & talons, and howls & horror are only trying to make connections.
To be seen and heard.
Just like all of us.

As daylight creeps away
dusk falls all too soon.
I hunker down
in my favourite chair
with hot drink
and a blanket's hug
reading late into the night,
my only company
the whispering house.
