My morning pages have been rambling as I detox from heavy cheese intake over the holidays. Today's thoughts can be summarized as:
It’s Storystorm Eve Eve! It’s going to be hard to sleep as new ideas start knocking on my brain!
Loving this spooky cover for the 2024 issue of Ghostlight which includes my poem “How to be a Final Girl.” (And yes I still jump into bed just in case there’s something under there.) a.co/d/5r0rBkx
Celebrating my strong finish in Susanna Hill's Halloweensie with my story full of (actual) finger foods and gooey goblin stew to make you lose your appetite for a week! 🤢
Two months in on my morning pages practice! Honestly though, it’s more therapy and less creativity, but there is something to it.
