Lately, my horror movie watch trend has been found footage films. Both Grave Encounters and then Open Waters. Up next is haunted church flick The Border Lands and maybe Shelby Oaks. #horrormovies #foundfootage

Wow! I finally typed non-fiction words into a short work in progress I started a month ago. Tentatively titled 'Oar', it mashes up mythology and religion and expresses the helplessness I feel in my core. #indieauthor #writing #horror

A bit late posting an image from Terminus Underground in NH. #spookyseason

Some advice from Nashua NH's horror themed music venue, Terminus Underground. It just doesn't end well for anyone involved: the summoners, the demons, or the toilet.

Enjoying the outlines and character sketches in his lovely journal I found at a used book store. #journaling

Though I take strides in my daytime career, I am saddened that my writing craft I deeply enjoy rode in the backseat of this struggle bus. Maybe even rode in the trunk.
Today, after five weeks, I edited a pivotal chapter of my work in progress. #indiewriters

I passed a counseling state licensure exam this weekend. I can now devote more time to creativity such as writing. I want to post new and free reads on Substack. I also worked on the cover of my 2026 planner

Love this piece ❤️

About three chapters proof read and pasted into a hopeful final draft today. It is refreshing to write something other than work progress notes and assessments. Grateful for the time to read material other than LADC study guides. #writersky #indieauthor

A motivational bracelet encouraging me to F I N I S H my writing. Fastened with a white whale literature symbol reminding me that my main antagonist is me.

Me while writing:
Let me get on Word Hippo and find another word for door.
Opens Internet.
Reads two news articles.
Blink.
What was I doing?

Yes, I will make Overlord Max move off the scene I am hashing out in the notebook. He would not look at me when I called his name for the picture. #catlady #catmom #catsofbluesky

My chronicles of skin allergies, a horrid case of poison ivy this summer, and eczema has inspired me to write my first lengthy piece of body horror. I appreciate any tips and input! #writersky #writing #horror #bodyhorror

Considering Substack to put some of my work out there! Of course, I have to create to do lists and look at some pros and cons before plunging in. If anyone out there has experience with Substack, please leave a comment! I appreciate you #bulletjournal #indieauthor #writing #substack

Current works in progress include screwing up a fairy tale more than it is and delving deep into some body horror. #writersky #indieauthor #horror
