When the Writing Gets Spooky, and the Spooky Gets Real

Writers love signs. Some of us light candles, set intentions, shuffle tarot cards, or just wait for that perfect little wink from the universe that tells us we’re on the right track. But when you’re writing spooky shit, sometimes the confirmation is downright terrifying.

Let me tell you what just happened.

I was editing a quote from The Ordinary Bruja, making sure it flowed smoothly. I always use Scrivener’s speech feature to listen to my sentences out loud—it helps me catch awkward phrasing and fine-tune the rhythm of the words. I reached this moment in the scene:

“You let her die.”

As soon as the words played through my speakers, something thumped loudly behind me. I jumped, my heart doing an Olympic-level sprint, and when I turned, there it was—my pillow, lying on the floor.

Now, this pillow wasn’t just lying around, waiting to fall. No, it had been tucked away securely on top of my bag. There was no reason, no logical explanation for why it suddenly decided to launch itself at that exact moment.

Coincidence? Maybe. But when you’re deep in writing about eerie whispers and haunted pasts, and your reality echoes that energy, it feels like a confirmation straight from the unseen.

And you know what I did? After the initial what the actual hell moment? I laughed, nodded at the pillow like it had just given me divine validation, and went right back to writing. Because that’s how I know The Ordinary Bruja is exactly the kind of book I want it to be—spooky enough that the story itself starts playing tricks on me.

If you love books that give you real spooky vibes, that carry a little something extra in the air when you read them—then you need The Ordinary Bruja in your hands. Because if my own writing sessions are haunted, imagine what will happen when you start reading.

How Stevie Wonder Helped Lift Lionel Richie’s Curse

Stevie Wonder once lifted a curse off Lionel Richie. Or at least, that’s what Richie believes.

Back in the early days, before he became a global superstar, Richie was struggling to break through. He was talented, he had the voice, but something always seemed to hold him back. Bad luck followed him everywhere – failed deals, missed opportunities, a general sense that something wasn’t quite right. It got to the point where he genuinely believed he was cursed.

Enter Stevie Wonder.

One day, Richie told Wonder about his string of bad luck, probably half-joking but with a hint of desperation. Wonder, being Stevie Wonder, took it seriously. Without missing a beat, he told Richie that he was indeed cursed – but that he could fix it.

Now, whether Wonder truly believed in the curse or was just playing along is anyone’s guess, but what happened next stuck with Richie for life. Stevie put his hands on him, said some words – Richie has never revealed exactly what – and just like that, the curse was lifted.

From that moment on, things changed. Lionel Richie skyrocketed to fame, first with The Commodores and then as a solo artist. He went from struggling musician to one of the biggest names in the industry. And he credits Stevie Wonder with breaking whatever was holding him back.

It’s easy to dismiss as coincidence, but Richie swears by it. Maybe it was the power of belief – sometimes, all you need is for someone you admire to tell you that your luck is changing. Or maybe, just maybe, Stevie Wonder really did have the power to lift a curse.
