Wow, this sounds absolutely beautiful Just finished reading it, and I’m still thinking about how poetic and emotional it was. It’s more than a love story, it feels like a journey through time and the soul.

Love this! My ritual definitely involves a strong cup of coffee and a playlist that matches the mood of whatever I’m writing. Can’t start without it!

That’s such a moving origin story. It’s incredible how writing can become both a refuge and a form of healing. Thank you for sharing something so personal turning pain into creativity takes real courage.

It actually started out as a playground roleplaying game. But I revisited it in earnest as a sanctuary, after my boyfriend of 13 years ghosted me.

That’s amazing, congratulations on your first professional publication! 🎉 The story sounds intriguing already; “a collision course with the Strange” has me hooked. Can’t wait to read it in Apex Magazine!

Love your creative space, it’s always inspiring to see where authors bring their stories to life! ✨ Caffeine truly fuels the best ideas. I often tell writers that those small rituals, like your coffee moment, are what keep creativity consistent.

While Leith rises to politics, Iseabail and Ian search for something quieter — meaning in love, art, and survival.
A Place in the World is about devotion, purpose, and the beauty of staying true when no one’s watching.

This is so beautiful, gentle, luminous, and full of soul. I’m truly touched to have inspired such words. Thank you for turning a moment into something that will linger.

Dear @hool415.bsky.social and #PromptCombo #Visitor,
#poetry #mysticverse,

This poem is for a friend in Durham, who reminded me why I write —
that meaning lives in the smallest words, and we should never give up seeking our voice.
For all of us who keep supporting one another.

First time I read crime fiction—The Night of the Crash.
Masterful atmosphere, poignant and realistic details of post traumatic amnesia. Perhaps, the way characters are written tells even more than the plot.
Beautiful writing.
