"And once it's all over" #writing #poetry #poem #witch

A journal into sunset over a field by a hand wearing a raven skull ring.

The handwritten lines are:
And once it’s all over,
I’ll have our ashes to keep,
To build a fence
Around those holes too deep.

The witching novel hit 16k words today! I love the new pacing of my first person rewrite! Better to capture the very historical horror! #writing #blogging #witch #historicalfiction

An open laptop on a table in a garden. Next to it, two journals and pens. A hand with a raven skull ring touches the keyboard.

"I'm a fallen daughter. Please just let me fall." #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #witch #poetry #poem #historicalfiction

An open journal on a dark surface. The open pages are held by a raven skull ring and a used match. The handwritten lines are:

I am a fallen daughter
I learned to let go
of light and dark
and of low and above
How to breathe with no air
and spit when I'm dry
Please let me fall.

Coming back to the witching novel after a week had my gut clench. It's not just written survive, it's a challenge to survive writing it. Even more important to get it out there! #writing #amwriting #history #historicalfiction #witch

A brick wall partly overgrown with green. The window frames in the wall are old and made of wood. In the windows, all kinds of figures and toys can be seen. There are flower pots with purple flowers in front of the windows.

As soon as I travel with my huge backpack, overweight and elderly men can't keep from making comments. Offering me help when I clearly know what I'm doing and telling me off for sitting on the floor during summer heat is not nice! A bit amusing to watch, though ... l #witch

Portrait of a woman with a yellow floral pair of pants and long red hair whipe wearing a backpack and standing on a balcony above railway platforms.

At sea is my favourite place to be. At some point, I will write the story of my seafaring and pirating ancestors! For now, It's goodbye Baltic Sea. And, goodbye Helsknki. #writing #blogging #witch

I spent the night on the northern Baltic Sea on board a shaky ship with midnight sunset. What a thing to say! #witch

I'm going on a needed trip tomorrow and promised my partner not to work while doing so ... so, this is what I do instead of packing. I'm a historian. It's not like my sourcss are still alive and able to run from me, but I still have deadlines. #writing #blogging #witch

"Be needy!" #writing #amwriting #poetry #poem #witch

An open journal on a dark surface. A textile flower is placed on the empty page with its leaves falling off. One leave is placed on top the written page with a needle pinned into it. The handwritten lines are:

Embarrass yourself.
Be needy.
Aks that person out.
Align to their schedule.
Pour out your heart.
Fall in love.
Lose yourselves together.
The world keeps getting darker either way

A quiet writing moment after work with a finally fading heatwave. #writing #blogging #witch

A woman in a yellow floral skirt is photographing down her lap. She wars white shoes, sits on the pavement, with a meyal water bottle, a small hand van, and an open journal in front of her. Her hand holding her backpack with a rainbow patch wears a raven skull ring.

Stare at me with the lights out!
I'm in love with your secrets.
I'm in love with you.

Your #witch at service is gonna write about this. #writing #blogging

It doesn't get enough attention that Germany's chancelor is a Trump admirer who cuts down on health insurance, education, and wants to forbid life-style-choices like part-time jobs.

It's like a proto-fascist Daddy telling you off in front of everyone at a family dinner. But daily in Parliament.

This needs a blog post.

"Once you were there ..." #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #witch #poetry #poem

An open journal in high grass. A raven skull ring is holding down the page. All is flooded in warm sunlight. The handwritten lines:

Once we were there
It was a Thursday
With tea and a smile
I will always remember
It made me forget
That the world has got holes.
