A creepy old house.
Some doubtlessly haunted woods.
Something unfurling from the shadows that whispers her name like a song.
Talia is starting to regret going off her meds.
The trouble is, she isn't crazy.
And that's so much worse.

Something about this time of year that makes me wake craving cool morning fog and rot.

The heat outside feels like an assault every time I open the front door. The Fall Yearnings have begun.

Not when you've got that Summertime Sadness.

It's time to start my IngramSpark journey.

Light a candle for me.

Woke up today with a half- spun spider web concerningly close to my head. No sign of the spider, and I haven't been hungry all morning.

Tropical depression is also how I refer to my summer- onset seasonal affective disorder.

Birdhouse in Your Soul. Although the Animaniacs tunes will always be a fun bit of nostalgia too.

Your creative work isn’t going to be for everybody, but as a writer, there’s nothing quite like knowing your book is starting to find the right audience 🖤💜🖤

I came across this postcard sized story years ago and it's a little more eerie coming across it today...

Let's not forget the, "Feeling stressed out ABOUT what you've written" option. Personal fave.

Wow... I just got the BEST review I could imagine getting and I've never wanted to hug a stranger more...

Take this as your sign to go and say something nice about a book you enjoyed!

Is it writer's block when you just....don't wanna? Like the story is there and it's going along fine, but sitting down and doing the work just isn't the mood.

The top pic at first glance triggered an Artax in the swamp flashback😭
Lovely work though, and the game sounds really cool!

I vote color-- the contrast makes the book stand out a bit more, I think.

Reading and writing are both strong distractions when things aren't great. And then there's nature. Also distracting. But, as I learned last night when I left a light in my living room as the termite swarm began, not always a good one.

This is one of my comparative titles, as well as one of my comparative authors. Anyone else want to share theirs?

For a second I was wondering how someone managed to get a home with such a great view of a cemetery...
