Divination

I draw the cards,
not to see what’s coming,
but to make sense
of what already hurts.

Divination

I draw the cards,
not to see what’s coming,
but to make sense
of what already hurts.
The present is a shroud
it curls, it clings,
it smells like endings
I haven’t named yet.
I am not looking for the future,
only a language
for this confusion,
a pattern to pin my breath to,
a knowing that the present moment
was always the hardest for me to read.

Been a little bit poorly the last few days, hence the lack of activity on here. I'm feeling a bit better today though, so here's to getting some words done! #writingcommunity #creativesofbsky

Affirmations: everybody wants to read my book. my book is worthy of publishing. editing my book is worth the time and effort. my second draft is not a lost cause. agents will want to take me on 0.3 pages into my book. #writingaffirmations #writingcommunity #writesky #fantasynovel

Passed 50k on my second draft by the skin of my teeth last night! The halfway point is definitely spurring me onwards, and if everything goes to plan, I should be done with this draft by the end of November! How is your WIP going? #writesky #writingcommunity #fantasywriters

Indeed! I swear October only just started last week, and September the week before. Who knows, tomorrow might be Christmas 😂

Ah very true - I need to do a few things myself before winter sets in. Autumn has really flown past so far hasn't it?
