Just wrote a horror story this morning. I don’t know what possessed me. 😂 I often have a bit of magic realism in my fiction so it’s not too far from my comfort zone.

I plan on revising and sending it out tomorrow. Wondering if speculative fiction may be my focus for a little while.

Whose writing fiction? Would love to follow. #WritingCommunity #horror #WIP #fiction

2022 was the year so many things I feared and dreaded came to be. Grief and fear broke patterns in my brain. I survived. Sometimes, I thrived. I am still picking up the pieces, making space, and healing.

My intent for #2023NewYear is not to let the blasted tower go to waste. Not to rebuild the old, but to create something new. #newyear #sigil

Abortion stories

2022 stands out as the year #roevwade was overturned. We also saw #bigots, #misogynists and #antisemites welcomed back to #twitter and the home of #TFG

At tangled locks journal, we publish personal essays to counter propaganda & take back the narrative.

Our final 2022 #abortionstory is a story of a woman who survived the holocaust and took charge of when and how she would start a family. It affected me deeply.

Abortion stories

When I think of 2022, I think about the #SupremeCourt overturning #RoeVWade. If you can force a person to carry a pregnancy to term, regardless of the impact on their life, that person does not have bodily autonomy. Reproductive Rights are Human Rights.

This #essay is the first of two #AbortionStories that Tangled Locks Journal is publishing this week.

#joinin my husband and son are playing video games.
I am drinking a cup of tea and looking for a home for a single poem. That’s how I do it now. Research methodically for what I think is a perfect match, then possibly send. It’s a different mindset.

Each day, sunlight spends a little more time with us. In Sunlight Opened, Kelli Lage captured the joy and hope of new beginnings. This piece was beautifully illustrated by Leticia Plate.

12 years ago. I bought too much wrapping paper. After hours of assembling big toys out of tiny pieces, I took a short cut and tucked the paper in the closet. After presents, he called us holding the paper, “Look.” My heart sank. “Santa must know we love wrapping paper. He left us extra!” ❤️
I still wrap presents on Christmas Eve. I still using the paper Santa left. I think we have at least more 5 years left.

#JoinIn It’s raining hard here in Maine. I keep thinking - just five degrees cooler and this would have been a shutdown the city for days storm.
The house is quiet and I have an unsettled feeling. Maybe it’s the ions from the storm but also there’s seems to be so much uncertainty this year.

Having my #morning coffee. And scrolling. Trying to see if I can carve out the time over the next few weeks to complete an edit of my novel. My family struggles during the #holidays due to past trauma so we keep things low key. Good food, presents but no pressure. I like this #JoinIn idea. I’ll check back often. ❤️#editing #writing

#projektlunarsigil charged my sigil and reviewing all the wonderful sigils and sending energy for your intentions too.
I decided to play around with my charging and make a video. Admittedly it’s a beginner level but I wanted to loop to be able to meditate on it.
