Finally got that blog entry finished. This one is about angels in Heirs of Alighieri. I touch on the inspiration source and blab about some lore in the series before getting back on track. One more "Building" blog after this.

Working on Evenacht home page this weekend. Here's a peek at the pics (glazed for my pleasure).

The mood is difficult, as the current storyline takes place on a tropical island known for being the brightest place in the evening lands. Cue fog!

And yes, Vantra's a ghost.

Two images of a ghost holding a gold shard overlooking a foggy, rocky beachscape. Three poles jut up and shoot a beam into the water, causing a pillar of light reaction that gets bigger.

My setting has 'island' vibes since it takes places at a remote hotel snowed in by a still raging blizzard with intermittent internet so even if Viv wanted to escape the wedding of her ex and cousin, she can't go any further than the hotel's portico.

Life comes with rules nobody remembers agreeing to.

Sometimes happiness is eating dessert first, saying no without guilt, or doing something because it makes you smile.

Here’s some poems. 💙💙💙

21 days until we take our country back.

#poetry #blueskypoets #writingcommunity #BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoet

 A playful poem about breaking the unwritten rules of adulthood by eating dessert before dinner. Beneath the humor is a reminder that we don't always have to postpone happiness in the name of responsibility.
Dessert First
I ate the cake before my dinner.
Nobody died. The sun still rose.
The vegetables sat there judging me,
but carrots have no right to vote.
I've spent my life being responsible,
saving the good things until the end.
Tonight I licked the frosting knife
and didn't offer to share with anyone.
The dishes waited in the kitchen.
The laundry staged its usual protest.
For once, I let the world be disappointed.
I took another bite of chocolate cake.
If joy is going to be this temporary,
I'm having mine while it's still warm.A humorous, relatable poem about finally using the fancy towels normally reserved for guests. It celebrates the small rebellion of enjoying the nice things we own instead of saving them for someone else's visit.
The Good Towels
We have towels nobody gets to use.
They hang there looking very important.
Apparently, they're for company,
though company has never asked about them.
I took one down this morning,
the thick one with the fancy border,
and dried my ordinary, unimportant face.
Somewhere, an etiquette book caught fire.
The bathroom looked exactly the same.
No alarms sounded. No guests complained.
I put the towel in the laundry basket
beside the ones we're actually allowed to use.
I've decided the nice things in this house
should occasionally belong to the people living here.A gentle, funny poem about letting the phone ring unanswered and enjoying an afternoon without obligations. It explores the realization that being constantly available isn't the same as being a good person.
Not Today
My phone rang while I was doing nothing.
For once, I let the damn thing ring.
No emergency. No explanation.
Just me and a perfectly good afternoon.
I watched a bird argue with a squirrel.
Neither seemed especially qualified.
The coffee cooled beside my chair.
The world continued making demands.
For years I thought being available
was the same as being a good person.
Today I learned a different lesson.
The bird won. The squirrel went home.
I drank my coffee cold and smiled.
Some things can wait until tomorrow.An uplifting poem about embracing harmless personal quirks, from singing the wrong lyrics to wearing a favorite ridiculous shirt. It celebrates the freedom of enjoying life without constantly seeking other people's approval.
The Wrong Way
I sang the wrong words in the car.
Loudly. With absolute conviction.
I wore the shirt that makes me happy,
though somebody once called it ridiculous.
I took the long way to the store
because the trees were prettier there.
I laughed at something inappropriate
and apologized to absolutely nobody.
Nothing remarkable happened today.
No revolution made the evening news.
But for a few ridiculous moments,
I stopped auditioning for other people's approval.
The world got the same old Tuesday.
I got a little more of myself back.

Random Update!

I got 1028 words down in my writing group this morning. I'm thinking of continuing, but part of me wants to re-plot out my demon book. It's a good idea (at least I think so), but I don't know where it's going.

Eight years ago, my novel was just scattered notes and unfinished scenes.

This weekend, I held it in my hands as a paperback for the first time.

Some dreams take their sweet time becoming real. 🖤

Writing a horror manuscript? This one is for you!

Realistic fears and building dread are the building blocks to some of the best horror novels ever written.

What scares you more?

A great novel needs more than a brilliant idea. Characters need room to grow, plots need direction, and every scene should have a purpose. Writers, are you the type to plan every chapter before writing, or do you discover the story as you go?

Your first draft doesn't need to be perfect. It needs room to grow. Some writers draft messily and fix it later, while others polish as they go. There's no single right way to write a book. Writers, what's your approach when the first draft isn't coming together?
