Happy World Tarot Day! I've been reading cards since 2013-ish. This is from the Ethereal Visions deck 🖤

Spotted on a spontaneous cemetery stroll. This is a headstone shaped like a tree stump, to indicate a life cut short. They were made for Woodsmen of America and could be bought in the Sears catalog.

I hit 20,000 words on my current Work-in-Progress today!

One day late, but happy World Goth Day!

In the best dream I have ever had, I watched The Goonies by myself and no one interrupted me. It was delightful.

Thanks for the lovely review! @pleasant-nights.bsky.social

Thanks to the HWA for this nifty certificate! Looking forward to seeing everyone at Stokercon!

I made soup while listening to The Fellowship of the Ring on audiobook and it was a vibe

Happy Goth Prom!

My copy of the HWA poetry showcase arrived! My poem, Ode to Hannibal, is featured inside!

I just finished rewatching all of the Hobbit and LoTR movies, and I might just jump right back in again idk

I just found this at the library. It sounds delightful and cozy, which I need right now

you’re not promoting your book, you’re helping the person who needs it, find it.

I miss being able to get lost in a novel. Lately my focus level is the span of a few poems at a time. This is good too.
