You may be wondering what this is about… I’m writing a book!
As you may already know I dabble in a whole lot of artistic things from painting, sculpture, crafts, stitch works, videos… Wow, my ADHD is showing.
Writing is also something I’ve always enjoyed. Ideas for scenes, stories, people, and worlds are always floating around in my head. I have a folder that contains at least a dozen book ideas and there’s always more. Many people say write about what you want to say, and I have a lot to say.
In March 2023 the unthinkable happened – my partner of 9 years died suddenly in an accident. I became a widow.
This brought a lot of challenges, naturally, and I searched for any kind of relatable content to consume to make me feel less alone. I watched videos, looked at art about grief, read books about death, found widows who gave love another chance…
And yet none of them really did it for me. They touched me but I just didn’t fully connect with any of it, and no one was saying the things I was thinking.
So, I decided I would use writing as a process of healing. I would write my own misbeliefs into a character and send her on a fantastical adventure in my stead full of danger, mystery, and even new love. I would learn from myself through the eyes of a fictional character, and also write about stuff I love like magic and romance at the same time.
The story is about a witch named Willow navigating love, loss, and abandonment when a handsome young warlock comes to her for answers about the mysterious mists that claimed her husbands life.
