#WritersCoffeeClub Dec 7 What future writing goals are you working towards with your present work?

I've completed my novel but it is part of a series. I'm working towards trying to keep that series going and it be interesting.

Some authors feel if they are only going to make a certain amount of money on a book project, the editor doesn’t have justification to charge more than that amount.

Here's my response to that argument.

Nature sees our art
And with a thin ray of light
Makes it radiant

❄️💀 Because even Christmas has shadows.

Dark Descent: Whispers From Beyond gathers 100+ microhorror stories — short, unsettling pieces that fit perfectly into long winter evenings.

A great Christmas gift for horror lovers, or a December treat for yourself when you want something darker than the weather.

#ScribesandMakers Day 9. Tell us about a multimedia project you've made or seen.

I've made several collages with found materials, fabric, calligraphy and 3-D stickers.

#WordWeavers Day 9: Tell us about a romantic relationship a character has.

Jhana and Gareth are soulmates, but their relationship is somewhat complicated. Gareth is from the Northern Lands, and technically he's not exactly alive. He starts out as Jhana's unseen protector, but when she starts to actually SEE him, it means their fates coincide. He serves as her bodyguard and eventual husband and mate.

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 9. Do you reuse certain words as refrain or motif, or avoid repetition altogether?

In poetry, I sometimes do. Recurring words and phrases can frame a piece.

In prose, not as much, unless I'm referring to a scene that happens earlier that ties into what's happening now.

I can see my #breath
air cold and crisp in my lungs
mountain topped with snow

South: COOL EVENING

Is this body still mine?
Cheeks carry a smile
Of a forgotten melody
With an overdose
Becoming a scream
While on the kitchen floor
Choking and spitting blood
I die.

This sadness is not mine
My dead mother
Is dangling from the ceiling
Hanging in the kitchen
I think she might be leaking.

When well-being cannot be achieved, I think it’s time to fight. It’s time to hurt, and ache, and struggle, but to let the world know that we are still here, and we are upset!

When there were clouds under a setting sun, they'd involuntarily take on a ruby tone. Rain fell into an open hand like hallowed blood, as if the heavens had the wherewithal to offer faith. But soliloquy is not the same as consolation.
