I know you're here, canary ghost. All it takes is one good song. Suddenly I'm a silverplated #sunflower growing from a dirt floor. The darkness touches my roots with reverence, and day risks its pretty satin bindings sneaking through collapsed shafts.
Sing sing. Shine shine.
Yours,
Mine

❄️ Winter magic…
The setting will captivate. The plot will grip you. But the characters will never let you go.

Even though
writers write for themselves, people forget that we still thrive off interaction and kindness.
i write for myself but comments and interactions for my stories motivate me to keep writing and keep sharing my works, which I love to do.

It's been a while since someone held my hand that way. You made a #snail of my coiled stomach. You left something on my skin. Fingerprints on a garden gate. A mud I want to put my face in. Let it dry around this moment, so I can keep it on my windowsill, simple & winsome as summer camp art.

I got to read this book in its early stages, and it was a wonderful treat! I know it has only gotten better since then. Lovable characters, spooky cryptids, sweet romance & an unforgettable setting. I can't wait to have this one on my shelf! 💜💛💜💛💜

Took a cozy, slow Monday today. Worked from home with no meetings, comfy clothes, Miyazaki in the background, and steaming mugs… pure delight 💛
I think finishing SoS finally caught up with me- I was exhausted.
Feeling refreshed now and excited to dive back into KOSAL edits tonight!
