Time for some honesty… Hi my loves, I’ve not been too well. I went through a very dark time, but with help and guidance (and meds) I’m slowly finding my way back to myself. I didn’t abandon you, I abandoned myself and the things I love. Now I’m building my way back to it, little by little ♥️

To: @itsmotivatingcara.bsky.social 💌: i miss you, i hope you’re doing well 🫶🏻 From: anonymous

“The wind makes nice waves.” - HS. Happy New Year, my loves ♥️

I see your tags and comments and love, and I adore you all so much. I’m just currently in a cutesy life spiral, so - ya know - 🧸 wit meh.

It’s that time again. The one where I read every @itsmotivatingcara.bsky.social fic because they’re just so good. Happens now and then, (Finished two already). It’s addictive. Sorry not sorry.

Louis from Echoes & Omens. He’s a do-er, and he’d also be able to tell me if I’m on the right track - and keep bad luck away from me!

I’ve been loving some of the artwork I’ve seen of a heaven or hell. If an oil painting had to be rendered for a scene, I’d simply transcend.

I love a villain. So, many of my villains. If I had to pick one (two)?…to avoid spoilers, a heaven of hell, or halfway home’s villain. Beyond villains (?) Jenna, currently, from unpublished: Children of the stars.

I met the people I love and cherish most in this world. I got to see places I’d written about that I never thought I would. I was gifted so many glorious opportunities that I’ll hold dear for the rest of my life.

Words aren’t just spoken. Naturally, we move or express ourselves bodily when driving home a point, even stillness is an expression. Our characters need liveliness to be relatable.

All of them. I used to berate myself for not writing something that could be considered highly prolific or meaningful, I’ve come to understand that escapism is also a balm to many.

It always changes - not because I think I’m entirely funny, but more so that I’d forgotten I’d written something and am reminded. Loved the wheelbarrow scene in Home Calls the Heart 💀

possibly the concept of shadow dances, and that I was able to use my night terror demons as characters…it took their power away - and Niall as a poltergeist (that was really fun). Also the banter. Love my bantering boys.

a heaven of hell 🖤

Support Your Local Librarian (me)! As some of y’all know, outside the apps, I’m a freshly-graduated librarian. The job market is rather dismal rn, so I'm offering my reader's advisory services to anyone looking for book recommendations for themselves (or their favorite elf) this 🎄❄️🦌 season! 🧵

Y’all remember that time @stylinsoncity.bsky.social put in their authors notes on one of their fics that they felt like they were talking to an empty auditorium? Grant me this kind of humility, I beg.

You ever read something you forgot you wrote and giggle and check and then feel really perceived but also proud? Yeah. That feeling 🥹

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.
