Monsters don't like to eat ghosts, because they taste like sheet. #notsorry

Today's #Editing tip comes from: @onewritersword1 Corrine Anderson - They tell you to kill your darlings, I say relocate them to a separate document. They’re still there if you need them, but not clogging up your current narrative.

We're wishing everyone the kind of Indigenous People's Day that involves taking a moment to recognize how much of real history has been lost, and how we can create a book industry that raises voices that we cannot and should not allow to be silenced.

The old wolf of darkness leaps across the sky, black teeth slavering as he devours the light. We cheer him on, tossing him the bones of our former despair, and dance barefoot on ice till we become blizzard, rising to meet the tumbling colors of the aurora. #ForHelena

I worked too hard on this video’s audio. Why allow up to 3 minutes of video but only offer up to 1 minute of song?! 🙃🎃 vm.tiktok.com/ZM88xUjf2/

Sometimes Canva gives us fun facts. Today's fact: a quarter of your total bones are in your feet.

I learned how creative non-fiction worked from the inside, putting together my first 7,000 word cnf and loving how I could riff and slide. It was like writing jazz, with words. This spring "Lessons in Bear Hunting" came out in the Crone Rising anthology by Jazz House Publications Public Relations Team

Today's #Editing Tip comes from Cass Kim. "The single most important thing you can do to build tension and arc for a story is to know what's at stake. When you know what a character is fighting for, you can then make them walk the tightrope of failure or success. That's tension."

Look out for the #witchy #anthology by Jazz House Publications Jazz House Publications Public Relations Team we are so looking forward to it!

Doesn't respect the time and effort it takes to dream big. Belittles reading for enjoyment. Scoffs at small publisher or self-publishing as "not real publishing." #redflags 📭 (that's the only emoji with a red flag we could find...we're mailing their a-s out!)

Editor's #TipOfTheDay comes from Cass Kim: "Your words can be as beautiful as you want them to - but make sure the desire to write beautifully doesn't overtake the desire to write something that breaks through the walls of others. Readers come back when they feel connected."

It's here! My story is "Of Witchy Revenge" & is about a witch seeking revenge for the fate of her new born child. I mixed in #mythology so Morpheus appears as well as Tartarus & a retelling of the #myth of the Danaïdes #TheWitchesBall #indieauthor #book Jazz House Publications Public Relations Team Quill & Crow Publishing House

In a first for me, you can read my story on the ‘Look Inside’ feature on Amazon. That seems like a big thing, right?

It is really trippy seeing my name in the contents page. But hey, the paperback is available now and it's packed with great stories. I hear the one on page 117 is killer... 🧙‍♀️🌲🌲
