When you’re not around
I put words on paper then
howl at the moon.

So with that, I’ll be posting insights for exclusive readers only, such as a workshop on my craft. The hows and who’s of my stories. Pretty much revealing my secrets on how I write with you. So welcome fam, and let’s get started!

Trouble at the Tea Leafing Café
The rain had started right around the time that Annie was buttering her second thick slice of homemade toast for breakfast, and hadn’t paused since. Not that anyone could tell. The windows of the café were fogged over, and with every seat filled with happy customers munching on fresh baked pastries or steaming bowls of the delicious soup of the day, it was hardly surprising. Annie looked around the room, finally taking a moment to breathe after the lunch time rush. Her old life already felt like a bad memory, a part of her history, always, but just that. History.

Anything wolf related usually gets my vote. I like the howling here doesn’t have to be only spooky, it can be almost mournful for loneliness. Or it could be someone cutting lose and grabbing freedom when they’re not under the watchful eye of another. Different ways to read this :)
Yes; me too, but only when my pen meets paper, and I'm alone with the moon. I really enjoyed this, it has mythical tones, and expresses the magic in writing.
Best use of words I have seen for a long time. So few, so much impact. I could feel/see the images come to life. Makes me want to go see some wolfy movies
Natasha, this is profound! Love civilizes us! It seems simple, but.... Your haiku makes your reader think!
This was soooo freaking powerful and liberating! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
lovely.
