This week, we find out what Nyx and Keria had planned—and how they're going to deal with having their plan completely undone. Check out "Best Laid" on my website. theashleyrebel.com/best-laid/ #indie #horrorwriter #darkfantasy

You don't have to forgive. You can choose to withhold forgiveness. That choice is just as valid, and (critically) just as healthy. What matters is that you MAKE A CHOICE. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #forgiveness #takethepowerback #traumahealing #healingjourney

Part of what led me to paganism and writing horror was a desire for authenticity. I didn't wanna play the part of the good girl anymore. I'm dark and light. Pick your poison. I promise, you'll get the version of me you deserve. #indie #witchsky #horrorwriter #traumahealing

Nope. I can't imagine an honest, dignified man doing something so pathetically manipulative.

You didn't actually expect Nyx and Keria to kill a castle full of vampires without any complications, did you? 🤣 theashleyrebel.com/caught/ #indie #horrorwriter #darkfantasy

I've been writing horror for years. I'm not afraid to go dark in fiction. But in my life? People pleasing. Codependence. Fawning. A network of relationships built around trauma response. Now I'm healing. The villain era is here, baby. Buckle up. #indie #healingjourney #boundaries #traumahealing

This was was especially fun to write. I love that we got a glimpse into Nyx and Keria's past. Read "Final Prep" to discover what happens just before the two-woman assault on the castle starts. theashleyrebel.com/final-prep/

I normally post new content on Fridays, both on my website and on Patreon. But this week, I'm participating in the nationwide shutdown in protest of ICE. As a result, my stuff will post one day late, on Saturday.

I found what I love—writing horror and dark fantasy. I even found how I love doing it. Being an indie writer adds so much to the process. #indie #horrorwriter #darkfantasy
