Surprise after the storm. Wondered why a Rose of Sharon flower in veggie garden. A closer look shows an okra flower with creamy yellow petals and deep maroon center. Must have been others bc we've eaten six okra by now. Turns out two plants come from same family as hibiscus. #writersofbluesky

Give your WIP permission to surprise you. If you're forcing it towards the story you planned, ask what it wants to become instead.

As that's not my medium I have to try getting a cinematic feel through words. One of these days I'll get it lol

As it's over 7 years since I last attended a con, it occurs to me I probably should go to one before I hit the decade...

Part 7 in a multi-part story drawn from what inspired my #urbanfantasy series. I love these characters obsessively and don’t want to let them go, just because the novel is finished. conniesenior.substack.com/p/summer-fri... #amwriting #writersofbluesky #werewolves

I’m also super excited and proud to be in this month’s Midnight Magazine!

my mind is a failed exploration
and thoughts are #mountains
sighing to the sky, aching
for the caps to freeze
for the noise to cease
for the rain to wash away
all traces of me

Transformation myths persist because change still terrifies us.
Not just becoming something different — but realizing the old version of ourselves may be gone for good.
That is a lot of emotional weight for a pair of fangs. 🐺
