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.

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. 🍿

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.

Maybe that’s why horror feels so timeless- it never lets us look away.
