I don’t know what to say about my current poetic spark, but my eternal fascination with the prosaic has taken a dark / body horror turn. 👻 😳

Things I am loving about writing at the moment:
1. Transforming novel ideas into short stories.
2. Dropping the title at the PERFECT moment.
3. Romantasy short stories where I’m juggling dragons and flirtatious glances.
4. Casting mythology into my work and stirring it around.
5. Witches. 🐉 🌊 ✍️

I am excited to be a contributor to Belladonna’s Garden, a sparkling new lit mag that celebrates gentle magic. My poem and short story complement one another - same scene, different POV. Great witchy fun! 🧙♀️ ✨
