My author shoutout is for my friend @kabang185, author of “No Saving Throw.” I read her geeky cozy mystery the weekend I attended a writing conference last summer. It was such a fun read, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys tabletop gaming! Kristin has been kind enough to chat about writing and offer guidance from time to time. I admire what she’s accomplished! #februaryauthorwipchallenge For day 19 of #writethrufeb, I’m giving you a snippet of a cringeworthy poem I wrote in college. It was published in our literary magazine, but I’m super embarrassed by it now. I was writing before that, though. I used to dictate stories for my mother to record before I knew how to write! I’ve always enjoyed making stories and, as you can see, mythology has inspired me for a long time. #writing #paganauthor #angstypoetry #writershoutoutI rediscovered a bone I found at the beach. I wrapped it in paper and forgot about it. Oh dear. That won’t do. We found each other for a reason, and now I need to contemplate why we stumbled upon each other again this cold day. Does the beach call? Whatever the case, bones aren’t merely things to an animist. There are spirits involved and lessons to learn. This lovely needs some TLC. #bones #animism #druidry #druidsofinstagramTiny footprints.RIVER MAGIC references a famous quote by Chief Seattle. As Lacey and Cian hike an Adirondack Mountain, they consider leaving an offering. Lacey reminds him of the “Leave no Trace” philosophy that all hikers should embrace. It’s something we modern Pagans must be mindful of as we visit sacred places. #februaryauthorwipchallenge *** For my writing achievements, I’m really proud to have stories featured in the beautiful @hagstonepublishing ezine “Stone, Root, and Bone.” Related to my excerpt and quote, I’m honored to be included in a publication that also values the Earth and respecting our sacred relationships with the spirits. #writethrufeb #paganauthor #paganliterature #witchlit #polytheism #polytheistsofinstagram #druidry #druidsofinstagram #iloveny #nny #adirondacksJust for fun, today’s #februaryauthorwipchallenge is “kiss, marry, kill” from my WIP. This was interesting to contemplate. I selected images of objects linked to my characters. The bracelets belong to Lidia (kiss), the green kayak to Cian (marry), and the chef’s knife to Anthony (kill). The last one was especially difficult, but I forced myself to focus on the major cast. #writethrufeb encouraged a random act of kindness. My daughter and I baked cookies for my family, so that was fun. #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunityMoss is amazing. Look how green and vibrant they are despite the icy blanket of snow! So inspired and called to learn more about this amazing being. #druidry #plantally #moss #druidsofinstagram #polytheistsofinstagram #animistCurrently Reading
