“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

articles like these about the failure of creative industries are depressing not only bc artists are losing their careers, but because art/entertainment is a need, and most people probably will settle for mediocre products or turn to influencer content. everyone is poorer for it tinyurl.com/3jm9jd3d

My new monthly blog post just went up! In honour of spooky month, I wrote about scary antagonists, both external and internal, and how they can improve - or thwart! - your writing :)

Scary Antagonists
In honour of what Americans call Spooky Season, and what New Zealanders call October, I’d like to write a few words about the Bad Guy. They are the opposite of our heroine. They are the antagonist, th...

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

I just joined ProWriting Aid's Novel November challenge! I won Nanowrimo a couple of times before it went loonytunes, so I have high hopes for this one.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Re-listening to "Empower your Inner Psychic" by Theresa Cheung and it's such a lovely book! Reminds me that the world out there may be very chaotic, but the world inside is always very calm.

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

First review for 'Summoning Skies' on Goodreads was five stars 😭and so OF COURSE I made a pretty picture with it. 😍

mock up of my book Summoning Skies, showing a cloaked figure looking at a castle in the clouds. A pair of white wings behind the title. (Thats the sigil of the kingdom.) 
Below is a quote from a Goodreads reviewer saying, "Simple, well-written, fast paced, but also with this beautiful slow slow burn." And then 5 stars, because they gave it 5 stars!

Brooding  hero in leather pic, with text over the top: Me - swoons over delicious, brooding, dangerous hero. Also me - You don't tell me ANYTHING. And that jacket needs to go to the dry-cleaners, it's got blood all over it. Also your wings are like, shedding everywhere.

Dangerous Magic
In my upcoming 'Chronicles of Esha' novel ‘Summoning Skies’, I wanted to explore the concept of magic that can both heal and harm. When is a good thing far too much?I think we can all relate to that o...
