He was, and is, someone who watched me grow as a blogger and vlogger for some time. This was a nice surprise actually, having someone think positively about my writing and style. He and I also happen to be practitioners of alternative spiritual movements, and I jumped at the chance to write with him.

The occult is a subject most people don't know a great deal about, especially with the stereotypes that are well and truly glued to our persona, but for those who have found themselves to be creative will have these moments of self-questioning, a need for self-care, a need to question their existence within the universe, and most of the time we battle mental health issues. For my co-author and myself it was our individual experiences with spirituality that gave us good ground to understand our mental health challenges and work with them, in different ways, to make ourselves better, and find the confidence to seek professional and spiritual help. This book briefly maps how we did that, and why mental health is meant to be something everyone should be discussing.

If someone had told me that I would publish a book this soon I wouldn't have believed them. It's been an amazing process! I must hurry up with my fiction.(less)

Then I sit down and read through the whole thing imagining I'm doing a reading in a dimly lit bookstore for people eager to know about my story. I have to imagine and imagine hard - why? Once you tap back into your imagination, and edit that one chapter (only spelling and grammar, sentence structure maybe), I'm able to take one step at a time to get back on track.

That won't work for everyone, but I treat the symptoms first and everything else falls away.(less)

The Importance of Searching My Chosen Book/Series Title

IMG_2312.jpeg

They always say to check the title of your WIPs to make sure it hasn’t already been taken, even super similar titles. It’s been a ridiculous few months since finding out I can no longer use the catchy series title, ‘Wormwood Witches’. I thought the process would be easy when changing it up, wanting to keep the catchy sound on the tongue, and it has been anything but. It’s all part of my writing j

Jeffrey Eugenides
“She held herself very straight, like Audrey Hepburn, whom all women idolize and men never think about.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides

Jeffrey Eugenides
“It didn't matter in the end how old they had been, or that they were girls, but only that we had loved them, and that they hadn't heard us calling, still do not hear us, up here in the tree house, with our thinning hair and soft bellies, calling them out of those rooms where they went to be alone for all time, alone in suicide, which is deeper than death, and where we will never find the pieces to put them back together.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides

Jeffrey Eugenides
“Basically what we have here is a dreamer. Somebody out of touch with reality. When she jumped, she probably thought she'd fly”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides

Jeffrey Eugenides
“We couldn't imagine the emptiness of a creature who put a razor to her wrists and opened her veins, the emptiness and the calm.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides

Jeffrey Eugenides
“We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy, and how you ended up knowing which colors went together. We knew that the girls were our twins, that we all existed in space like animals with identical skins, and that they knew everything about us though we couldn’t fathom them at all. We knew, finally, that the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides
