Forever hopeful of food ❤️

I need your network help, guys. Back in 2024 I lost my Big Girl job and literally lived on peanuts for three months. That depleted all my emergency funds and I survived, yay!

But I still feel the effects and need y'all :)

Sometimes, when you’re sick as a horse, you gotta splurge.

Which one should I read first?
Pile of the following books : “spells for lost things”, “a magic steeped in poison”, “the librarianist”, “the bone season”, “honey & spice”, “book of night”, “the darkening”, “a venom dark and sweet”, “the song rising”, “a witch’s guide to fake dating a demon”, “a tempest of tea”, “ordinary monsters”, “sunbringer”, “how to host a Viking funeral”

I am in awe ❤️

When I had a Big Job, I wanted to buy a house to welcome people in my home, provide them with a roof over their heads, food and funds to allow them to grow their arts and creativity in a safe place. This is a life years away.

Right now, I struggle to survive : gofund.me/b26154a3

I sit here, beside this girl who watches over me when I'm exhausted. I need your help : gofund.me/b26154a3

Everything would've been ok if one of my teeth hadn't exploded a few minutes ago and the estimate to fix it is half of what I receive on EI.

I would appreciate a share!

Lamb, as a dunter, is proud to know everything and everyone that ever crossed his path. He takes his job seriously. What happens when he realizes the gods have kept some things away from him? When he meets someone who is unknown? He panics.
An image of a valley between two mountains. The mountain on the forefront is green and lush with pines. At the end of the valley stands a group of rocky mountains, shrouded in snow. This quote is written on the sky, above the rocky mountains: "History wrote itself in the smokey favour on his tongue, a reminder of a different time, in the dark spaces of tales and legends. Salmons swam in a well somewhere, and the smoke from the forest painted their skins. They were ripe for the taking, their mouths open and ready to swallow the bait-fly. Lamb staggered for a second, as dust, oregano and hazelnuts danced on his tongue. "

The souls of old villages linger beyond the loss of the people living within its walls, and Round Harbour's story is imprinted on each of its beaches, and each of the traps that lay still, dormant, until the people come back.

On the right side of the image, an old house overlooking a bay in Newfoundland, with green mountains stretching on the other side of the bay. On the left side, a green text box with the quote "Old villages held secrets long lost to most humans. They breathed in mysteries and breathed out stories. In the stilled pause between inspiration and expiration, they consorted with the wood of their old piers, the stones of their abandoned chimneys, and the furs of the animals that roamed freely. Old villages had a soul cities had lost, or forgotten" - Chapter one, Mimir.

I do enjoy a book so thick I can kill someone with it.

Featuring “a day of fallen night” by Samantha Shannon et Bug

Lamb is a complicated being, and learning him, the way I learned the others, was harder, his wounds deeper, but he tries to redeem himself. It comes with a lot of pain, and self-inflicted wounds.

Foggy forest with a path lost in the shadows, with the quote : "Here, he was nothing more than another animal fighting for a place to exist in the universe. He’d carved his ruins until they looked like him, he’d chiseled his existence until it fit his body and mind. He may be nothing more than another creature willing itself to exist in a world that didn’t want them anymore. Upon receiving the message from the well, he’d donned a black hat and dabbed blood on its tip. It trailed behind him, a reminder of his nature, after all, and of what was required of him.

I started #nanowrimo in 2007, there were dozens of sponsors who valued creativity, writing, effort and community.

Now, all I see is 4 sponsors (Scrivener, ProWritingAid, Dabble and Storyist ) who promote what is destroying the industry at the moment, by staying complacent.

Do better.

Guilty pleasure to compensate for a trauma-filled day spent at the hospital!

Do you want something cute, romance-y with lots of science? The FMC is a Dr Marie Currie fangirl!

Do I need to say more?

So, I’m undergoing surgery tomorrow (for my hand and let me tell you, from a writer to another, it’s terrifying) and I think my prep is a little overboard

Every version of ourselves deserves to live, even the child we spent our life hiding in the shadows of our parents' expectations, afraid to be more than monochrome.

Quote below is from Mimir, my novel. Early access is on Patreon but each chapter will be published on AO3 later! Keep an eye out!
On the left side, an image of a rocky cliff with the shadow of a person sitting. On the right side, the quote "She hid every story, every tale, every memory of imagination in the crack of her elbow, and stole the breath away from the child that tried to live within her, desperate for her parents' attention"

Oh I know what you mean! For the longest time I would angst about past decisions / past discussions! When I would drop in a spiral of questioning, I would ask myself : is it useful to the present!me? And it helped me seeing patterns.

Here, have my dog!

This boy accomplished a very difficult thing this weekend and at the venerable age of 10 years old, he gets to enjoy semi-retirement ❤️ thanks bud, for everything.

As much as I want to write the whole week, taking breaks is something I should do often. This weekend, I am in Maxville for a dog trial with my three favourite idiots!
