In those instances, I picture myself as the character and just get them doing something, even something really boring like putting the rubbish out - as you move with them, things happen and it just gets going again! I suppose you could say it's just writing yourself into the tale again. Any bits that remain boring can be stripped out.(less)

Mother’s Night

My latest folk horror from Brigids Gate Press is Mother’s Night, Rise of the Hare Witch. I was initially going to call it Modranicht (which is Mother’s Night in Anglo-Saxon terms, amongst various spellings) but figured it made more sense to go with the modern translation as the world of the Five Turns revolves around worship of the Mother (Mother Nature).
