Magick is Afoot!
BlackLion and I hosted a Vision Board PlayShop this week on the Full Moon, via Zoom. Seventeen of us gathered in (virtual) sacred space to craft our visions and intentions for the new year. It was so powerful doing this in community with these wonderful co-creators and Thriving Artists! What a blessing. This is my […]
Writing the New Myths
Happy Winter Solstice! Today there’s a grand conjunction that my astrologer friends tell me is all about moving into a new era, the long-awaited Age of Aquarius. If that’s the case, then it falls to us, the Thriving Artists, the co-creators, the writers and dreamers and crafters, to offer up the new stories that will […]
Starcat’s Favorites: An Introvert Holiday

In the Groove: NaNoWriMo Days 16-19
NaNoWriMo, November 2020, DAY 16 – 1733 words Dear Diary, It’s Monday, so BlackLion had his online RPG. I tried to join a sprint with others, but no one was around.

Slacker Manifester: NaNoWriMo Days 8-11
NaNoWriMo, November 2020, DAY 8 – 2074 words Dear Diary, BlackLion made us a new Discord channel, the Parallel PlayZone, for my writing community.
