Writing, for me, is less mysterious creative ritual and more sit down, open the document, and hope past-me left good notes.
Some days it works. Some days it’s just caffeine and good intentions.

Feels like one of those in-between chapters- not quite closing anything, not quite starting something new either.
There’s something to be said for just sitting with it for a while.

Swapping gothic gloom for Laurie Gilmore’s The Christmas Tree Farm today. Zero hauntings or cursed objects…just pure Christmas cosiness.
Sometimes you’ve got to trade the ghosts for a little holiday charm. 🎄✨

Up ridiculously early this morning just to write in a quiet café before the city woke up.
There’s something oddly therapeutic about working while the streets are still empty.
Might need to make this a habit.

My book wasn’t written to shock- it was crafted to linger.
If you love horror that’s slow, eerie, and haunting, this one’s for you.

Was in a tense part of my WIP this morning and actually had to put the pen down- I got so invested I scared myself a little.
Definitely a good sign the story’s working.

Just wrapped up a deep writing session- the first real one I’ve had in a long while- and it felt incredible to sink back into my WIP and lose track of time.

Stopped by Harry Hartog again- honestly one of my favourite bookstores in the city.
It’s compact, but somehow you end up wandering the aisles like you’ve stepped into a maze made of stories.
I never leave empty-handed, and I don’t think I ever will.

I think the best horror doesn’t ask what’s in the dark- it asks why we keep walking towards it.
That’s the kind of story that stays with me long after the lights are back on.

Finally saw Black Phone 2- and some of those scenes instantly reminded me of Sinister.
And honestly, you have to love the cult classic horror vibe of a story set at a camp.
The isolation, the nostalgia, the creeping dread- it’s horror comfort food. 🍿

My gothic YA debut has found its way onto the Waterstones and Barnes & Noble sites. 🖤

Not on shelves (yet!), but still such a surreal little milestone to see it listed.

The season of shadows has passed, but the darkness doesn’t disappear that easily. 🖤

Writing Tip:
It's important to be able to tune out distractions, but that can be hard to do. Don't just rely on soundproof headphones or a quiet house. Train yourself to be aware of your surroundings, but focused enough to determine what's important and what's not.

I’ve always been drawn to stories where evil hides in plain sight. 🖤
Maybe that’s why horror feels so timeless- it never lets us look away.

I’ve managed to dodge TikTok this long, but I’m wondering if it’s time to join for book promo…
Writers- does it actually help, or will I vanish into the void of endless scrolling? 👀
