My blog is a magic circle…
Structure makes my squiggly brain very, very happy.
So instead of writing a mishmash of blog posts, I gather them into magic circles—each one shaped around a particular theme, mood, or creative obsession. 🪄 I call these circles Creative Seasons.
✍️ Maybe I’ve been picking apart an aspect of writing craft, so I spend a whole Season exploring what I’ve learned.
📖 Perhaps I’m in the mood to write serialized fiction set within my story universe and sprinkle in plenty of Easter eggs from the books.
đź”® Or maybe I want to tease apart the threads of Jungian magic woven through my stories and share some of the strange, real-life magical practices that inspired them.
Below is the full archive of Creative Seasons.
Prefer to have them magically delivered to your inbox? Sign up and never miss a post.
