I was supposed to be writing about Winter today, but as it turns out, I have to interrupt my posting schedule with something that's really pissed me off. I feel I must tell you about it right now because I want to ensure you don't find yourself in the same depressing-as-fuck situation as me. You… Continue reading Scribd – It Was Too Good To Be True

In These Last Days Of Winter – On Freezing To Death
I've been morbidly fascinated with hypothermia for ages. I even learned how to do SFX makeup which makes me look as though I have frostbite. My fascination has been mounting these past few days, as I've been racing through short stories where the protagonists are faced with death by cold, researching into the stages of… Continue reading In These Last Days Of Winter – On Freezing To Death
In These Last Days Of Winter – The Law Of Life By Jack London
Before I sat down to write this post, I glanced out of my window and saw a teenage girl flouncing past in a crop top, capri leggings and fluffy flip flops. Winter still has a few days left to its name, but in that teen's world, it would seem Spring arrived yesterday. With it being… Continue reading In These Last Days Of Winter – The Law Of Life By Jack London
It’s Been A Strange Day – Sunday Musings
It's been a strange day. The whole weekend has been odd, actually. I've been kind of floating around, feeling all out of sorts, and I haven't been able to put my finger on exactly why I'm feeling this way. I don't know if it's because we're approaching the end of winter, or because my poetry… Continue reading It’s Been A Strange Day – Sunday Musings
The Kid Who Loved The Dark – The Death Dogs From Willow
I adored the movie Willow as a kid. We had it on VHS. As with most of the films we owned back in the day, it had been recorded off the TV. I can even remember WILLOW scrawled (by my Dad) on the VHS sticker in red marker pen. I don't know how many times… Continue reading The Kid Who Loved The Dark – The Death Dogs From Willow
On Feeling Off
It's been a peculiar sort of day. I'm not exactly sure what's up, I just feel...off. In theory, I should be really happy. I had a good morning writing a poem about Akutuq AKA Eskimo Ice Cream. (Great article about it here.) I had a good run and came home with 500 Post-It-Notes. (I'm a… Continue reading On Feeling Off
We Of The Craft Are All Crazy – Things From The Pages Of My Notebook
It's been a little while since I've done one of these - you can read the first one here if you like - and I was going through my notes today anyway, so I thought I'd share with you some choice pickings. If anything peaks your interest and has you reaching for your own notebook,… Continue reading We Of The Craft Are All Crazy – Things From The Pages Of My Notebook
For The Sake Of Dark Art – Sophie Lécuyer
Anyone else think this month is going by disturbingly fast? The more I urge February to just slow the fuck down, the quicker it goes. It's the end of my third week with no social media and I'm breathing easier. I think I'll write something lengthy about the experience when the end of the month… Continue reading For The Sake Of Dark Art – Sophie Lécuyer
The Kid Who Loved The Dark – Erica From The Witches
You will probably be aware by now that I'm quite taken with Norway. I talk about it whenever the opportunity arises. (It's only going to get worse folks, just so you know.) Though I don't think I've talked about how, when I was little, Roald Dahl helped fuel my obsession for everything Norsk. I was… Continue reading The Kid Who Loved The Dark – Erica From The Witches
Blogging In The Dark – It Was Time For A Change
I'm sat here feeling quite sorry for myself. I ate cake when I wasn't hungry and now have horrendous stomach ache. Thing is, it wasn't even a big slice. It was a portion fit for a mouse, so I don't know why my stomach is being such a bitch about it. *Update, my mother thinks… Continue reading Blogging In The Dark – It Was Time For A Change
