I have a question for fellow authors who write series and other books. When you finish writing a book that’s in one of your series, how do you decide whether to write another book in your series or write something else? #booksky #writingcommunity #indieauthors

With Seeing Magic done, it's time to start working on Gates of Light and Shadow. That is very much a working title. Developments as they happen... #writesky #writingcommunity #indieauthor #fantasywriters #booksky

I finished Seeing Magic! I am done writing and the never-ending task of editing my next book. This week it's off to my alpha reader and then my editor after that. Now to think about marketing. And starting my next book! #writesky #writingcommunity #indieauthor #fantasywriters #booksky

✨️🌿🌺🦋🌺🌿✨️ hummingbird moth: knowing names by flavor #SenryuSunday #PaintbyWords #EastCoastKin #BloomScrolling
This is a nature photo I took of a hummingbird hawk-moth resting on a lavender princess rhododendron. The moth is facing away with wings fully extended, catching light like stained glass. Antennas are held in a V-pattern, their serrated edges visible. A moss green patch of fuzz trails down its back. Velvety umber bands circle the abdomen. The tail ends in a splay of dark plumes. Lavender-pink blooms beneath the moth blur into the green background bokeh.

I can hear colors, see music, smell emotions, and taste words. This cross-sensory perception is called synesthesia. I was born this way. It took me a long time to realize this condition made me different. And trust me, being different isn’t something most of us want to be. It’s very isolating, especially when extreme pain comes with it. As a child, I described these sensations and people either thought I was trying to be funny, or because I was artistic, I had an overactive imagination. Sometimes I laughed along, finding joy in their amusement, but it also chipped away at my truth. You’d think this would give me an advantage with sense-switching in haiku or senryu. It does not. The cross-sensory that I experience is hard for most people to follow; the leap is too far. When I sense switch in poetry, I have to make-believe that I don’t have synesthesia for it to make sense. The only way I can express my condition through poetry (that isn’t abstract) is to strip sensations down to their bare bones.

For Senryu Sunday and Paint by Words, I wrote my latest senryu to honor synesthesia awareness:

hummingbird moth:
knowing names
by flavor

In Being Magic, I had two antagonists, and their relationship was important to both the challenge my heroes faced and the subtext of the story. In Seeing Magic, I have one “big bad” to use a Buffy term. #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts

I am a pantser at heart, but editing Seeing Magic has been such a long and byzantine process that I am going to have to adopt some plotter practices going forward. Maybe that makes me a pantser-adapter? #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt

Wellness isn't only about what you accomplish. It's also about how fully you experience your life. #InfinityThriveTribe #DailySpark
A warm wellness-themed collage featuring three peaceful moments: a woman relaxing in a hammock with a cup of coffee beside a tranquil waterfall, a woman painting a landscape on a canvas in a cozy outdoor studio, and a group of women laughing together over coffee. At the center, the text reads: "Happy Friday! Life isn't meant to be lived only between deadlines and to-do lists. Take time this weekend to notice what's good, nourish your body, calm your mind, and create memories that remind you why your wellness journey matters." The overall mood is calm, restorative, and encourages balance, creativity, connection, and self-care.

✨️🕊🌿🍵🪻🍵🌿🕊✨️ forgiveness finds me over the falling cup hydrangeas #SenryuSunday #PaintbyWords #EastCoastKin #BloomScrolling
Nature photography is where I find my calm center. This is a photo I took of cream and blue hydrangeas. The entire frame is clustered with pale blooms, pressing, lifting, and sharing the light with one another.

The language of flowers: Among the many legends of Japan, is the most famous story behind hydrangea symbolism. Ages ago, a powerful emperor chose royal duties over his lover. To apologize for his absence and to express deep affection, he gifted her a bouquet of hydrangeas. To this day, the flower is still given as a sincere gesture of regret and gratitude.

This symbolic meaning inspired my latest senryu:

forgiveness finds me
over the falling cup
hydrangeas

What a great question! I think Elana would be a fairy type because of her proximity to the source magic in my Mindful Magic books. Jerome would be a dragong type because he gets to hand around with dragons (spoiler alert!) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
