Back in my mysterious Irish castle 🏰 and I could not be happier. Such a shame it is fictional! 🌊 🏰 💫

Some short stories are just meant to be novels. You can’t fight it.

I wanted a poem about rugged nature, or the wolf moon…but what has arrived? One about Christmas tea towels. But the muse wants what it wants. 🤷‍♀️

The dark time of the year has inspired a flurry of novel writing. It feels like coming home to be working in the form I know the best. 🥰 📚

Love this idea. :) Here are my writing goals for 2026: (1) Finish the three novels I am working on; (2) Find anthology homes for more of my short stories; (3) Connect with more readers; and (4) Enjoy the writing journey!

I think I might be a touch addicted to submitting my work. 😹 😹

Followed by something more positive. :) :)

A double rejection afternoon. Sigh!

It still brings me such joy that I wrote a poem about doorknobs…and that I get to sub it soon. 🥰 🚪

The hygienist…an unexpected source of poetic inspiration!

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

I don’t know what to say about my current poetic spark, but my eternal fascination with the prosaic has taken a dark / body horror turn. 👻 😳

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Ahhh a poem. Whole and perfect. Unlike the shattered snail shell that inspired it. 🐌

Dear reader, they immediately woke up. 😫

A Doorknob of One’s Own has to be the right title for my doorknob poem. 😹

Things I am loving about writing at the moment: 1. Transforming novel ideas into short stories. 2. Dropping the title at the PERFECT moment. 3. Romantasy short stories where I’m juggling dragons and flirtatious glances. 4. Casting mythology into my work and stirring it around. 5. Witches. 🐉 🌊 ✍️

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

Who, me? The wayward one, trying and failing to follow rules for anthology submissions. 🙈

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

A poem! A new one. I am so happy. This one is celebrating my long-lost student days, when we used to eat chips on the staircase of my turret. 🥰

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

Sent in a short story…and belatedly released there were no sim subs. Ooookay! 😹 🥰

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

I am in novel writing mode right now…but I miss writing poems all the time. 😿 ✨

I am excited to be a contributor to Belladonna’s Garden, a sparkling new lit mag that celebrates gentle magic. My poem and short story complement one another - same scene, different POV. Great witchy fun! 🧙‍♀️ ✨

Just read some advice about not putting pets in your author bio…but…I feel like my enchanting cats deserve their shout out. 🤔 🐈 🐈‍⬛

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

An acceptance! 🥰 Thank you everyone for supporting me on this rollercoaster. 🎢 ✨ ✨

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

Thank you! 🙏 I am very grateful that some of my pieces have found editors and readers to care for them. So, I do count myself lucky, most of the time. 🍀 ✨

That is a lovely way to look at it! ✨ ✨ ✍️

On a losing streak this week, but I am hoping those rejections are followed by another shining acceptance soon.

Agreed! I needed to see it in template form before it clicked properly for my books (neurospicy brain). But now it works like a dream, particularly when I already have a synopsis, and I need to check the beats. Dreamy!!! May we have well constructed stories for all time. ☁️ ✨ 🪄

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

I just used the Save the Cat template to map out a novel…and I love it! I am going to try not to think about how I probably should have used it before… 😹 😭

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

Ahhh my new doorknob poem is really about wanting time and privacy to write. Who knew??? 🥰

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Writing my DREAM job into a short story tonight, and it is perfect for the setting, character and plot all at the same time. I am keeping my fingers crossed this witchy tale gets its chance to shine. 🧙‍♀️ ⛰️ ✨

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

Looking at my new chapter plan, and, of course, I start thinking “but how about a prologue”? Whyyyyy am I like this??? 😹

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 27/07/2025

My current short story wants to be a novel sooooo badly! Enemies to lovers is the gift that keeps on giving. 😹 🥰 🏰

Danielle M Cahill @daniellec.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

Hurrah! A new poem. 🥰 This one is about the knitwear company that keeps emailing me, saying “We Miss You”. 😹 #Poetry
