Let's play match the kin to the character...do you

Let's play match the kin to the character...do you know which walks with whom?
Cards are from the Druid Animal Oracle Deck, by Philip & Stephanie Carr-Gomm and illustrated by Will Worthington.
(Which reminds me that plans are still afoot to make a Wilde Grove Oracle deck, and I'm looking around for artists whose work might suit my vision).

More progress today and yesterday. This morning, writing away as the run rises and just fascinated by the story, and how something that happens over here to one character suddenly makes this other, unexpected thing happen all the way over there to another character, which, when it is sprung on me now, I have to stop and give myself some time, not so much to think about it, but to digest it, because I sometimes feel that if I try to think to think too much about the story, I will interfere with whatever delicate mechanism is going on behind the scene.
But still, I need some time to sit with it before I write more. I will come back to it tomorrow.

I adore this work. Don't let me ever forget how much I love writing fiction.

The sun came out today! In celebration, I dressed

The sun came out today! In celebration, I dressed in cream and mint green and felt somewhat like a vanilla wafer. But how glorious to see the sun again after several moody grey days in a row. Although the tree in my photo blooms in the dead of winter like some beautiful, secret song of praise to chill dark days.

Two good days of writing, and I'm glad I don't have to share a space while I'm working, as it's my habit to try out gestures while I write, just to make sure I'm describing them properly. Worse, I often make myself feel the emotions of the characters, if they are strong.
Don't come in the room; I am writing and weeping.

Have you read the Selena books yet? I started them

Have you read the Selena books yet? I started them to take a well deserved break after Wilde Grove Book 4, The Singing, but before I knew it, I was still writing about Wilde Grove, telling the story of why Selena - Lady of the Grove before Morghan - left Wellsford and traveled half way around the world.

This is the house that inspired Selena's Windswitch House. It's right over the road from the Botanic Garden, just as in the book. I believe you can even rent a room in it .

Lots of yummy words on the page today, and I'm really starting to see my chosen themes emerging in the story. That can take a while because telling an interesting and entertaining story is paramount, and the characters get around to things in their own good time. Another surprising thing happened today, to Clarice. I had played with an idea for something to happen, but then forgot about it. At least, my conscious mind had forgotten. I wonder how Morghan will react?!

Due to fibromyalgia, sitting at a desk is uncomfor

Due to fibromyalgia, sitting at a desk is uncomfortable, so I've a cosy corner of the couch (although I dream of one day having something more supportive).

'And you have to stand up. For yourself, for me, for everyone who is uncertain in their hope. You be their hope. Shine and tell them they can shine too. Dimly at first, perhaps, but brighter and brighter with each of us who grows braver in your light.'

Thanks, Winsome. Wise words, as ever.
Did you know - and I learned this today - that humans glow faintly, even during the day? Most strongly from the face, apparently. So go on then, my dear ones. Glow. Shine. Light the world. ✨️

I will hypnotize you into filling my bowl with foo

I will hypnotize you into filling my bowl with food, Ouija says.
I am immune, I tell her.
She doesn't blink at my words. Nonetheless, she says, I will persist.

This morning, up bright and early, creeping through the dark house. Make coffee, write in my journal, then turn the computer on. Finish the last scene, begin the next. A sensation of satisfaction fills me. I am with friends in this book, walking familiar paths, immersed in all the deep and good things I love so much about Wilde Grove.

I stop for half an hour of weaving, go back, and write more.

Before these books, I wrote mostly stand-alone novels. One and done. But this story spills over the edges of the page and into every area of my life. I'm glad it's taking so many volumes to tell.
