To help me through these ridiculously inhumane times, I wrote a mash up of beliefs about the Afterlife. Face eternity.

Jack Of The Lantern

Trick or treat! Enjoy my short story, depicting my take on the Irish folklore that became the staple symbol of American Halloween. Keep the lantern burning bright this hallow night. And don't make deals with the devil. He keeps his word.

Happy Halloweek! Visit my Substack for a free Halloween read called Jack of the Lantern. 'Tis my version of how America got a staple to its Halloween traditions, though immigrated from Ireland. #jackolantern #halloween

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

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.

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

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

Let me get on Word Hippo and find another word for door.
Opens Internet.
Reads two news articles.

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
