Hymns for my Sleep Paralysis Demon

Long story long, this poem has gone through many iterations over the five plus years I’ve been trying to complete it. Up until this morning, I’d been seriously stuck with only two ideal verses and a pretty much nothing else. It was a unfinished concept that had been sitting in my drafts folder, wistfully waiting…

Just Another Book Haul

One More Chapter When I made my 2025 self-care to-do list, I thought reading (at least) six books in one year would be the most difficult goal to accomplish. After working all day, my brain can’t concentrate on the most pedestrian of tasks or find the motivation to simply load the dishwasher correctly, let alone…

Flash Fiction #9: Ceremonials

Weirdly enough, this haunting ghost story was inspired by a quote from the musical Top Hat with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers.

Blog Challenge Update (April)

March was not a good month for multiple and obvious reasons. I haven’t completed any of the goals I had set for myself during my last challenge update.

I’ve always been enthralled with magic. From a young age I sought it out, looked for it in every book that I had read and in every face that I had known. Captivated by tales of enchantment, I continually searched for stories about monsters, myths, and legends. I’ve always identified with the homely heroine who…

The Creator

I am a world builder and a daydreamer. I am a storyteller. I am a writer. I am the designer of a million lovely landscapes. I am the author of a million ambitious scenes. I am the creator of a million imaginary situations, places where my heart and my characters live and breathe.

From You the Flowers Grow

Whether you’re an artist, a writer, or creative mind, it can be difficult at times to find illumination in a world overflowing with darkness.
