Stories & Dreams
Okay so a HUGE SQUEE that happened this weekend was that the sweet & marvelous Jenn (willow_cabin) read my first draft of "The City With No Animals" and AGREED TO BE MY EDITOR.
(Jenn also put up a writing & editing website over the weekend if you'd like to take a look.)
I can't tell you how EXCITED I am for this. I feel this little ball of warmth when I think about it. I really, really, really, really feel like an extra super ball of writer power with her on my side! Ack! So much happy!
Okay. Whew.
In other news!
So a few years ago, I started a blog called "The Glitterati Society", which was about making magic collectively - based on the concept of glamourbombing. I only made one post before it faded into the realm of half-realized projects. But, while working on the Moon Calendar for Faerie Dark - I greatly wanted to revive it! I could feel it's little unrealized seed pushing to get out! (Hmm.. that's kind of a gross metaphor ^^;)
Anyways!
So - I've reworked "The Glitterati Society" into a chapter by chapter hand book for creating whimsy. Each new moon, I'll release a new chapter - based around the myths and stories of the Faerie Dark calendar. I finished #1 last night and I'm so so so excited.
Now - I'm working out pricing and all that because this is a new venture for me so right now each part is going to be $1.99.
But! I would really like to share this with you! So, leave a comment with your email address if you'd like me to send you the first part for free!
Hopefully it'll bring a little enchantment into your day! If you feel moved to give me some feedback (both positive and constructive) I would be very grateful.
The Glitterati Society
Welcome artist, creative, aesthetic! Welcome witch, kin, beast-in-human-form! Welcome dreamer, magician, mischief-maker! Welcome romantic, visionary, friend! Welcome love!
Welcome to the folds of a breed of uniquely fantastic folks! Namely The Glitterati Society. We are a collection of curious creatures who, every moon cycle go out into the world and stir up a little magic.
Why?
Well, because the world is mysterious! It's fantastic, tantalizing, extra-ordinary and frankly... it's just plain fun. We are part of that wave, that curtain of magic that touches even the most mundane places. We are enactors of magic and mystery on this earthly plane and we want you to join us.
Do you believe in magic? We certainly hope so - because that belief may be your single most powerful tool.
You see, we've been waiting for you. You are our secret star seed, our one-two strawberry flavoured punch, our dream made flesh. You contain within you the amazing potential to create and spread real magic. We need you!
Because, dear one -we've been lied to. We've been told that the world is mundane, stress-filled, dull. We've been told what's expected of us and darn it - we call bull!
The world is marvelous, mysterious, surprising, and more magical than we could ever imagine. And you, lovely, have an opportunity every moment of every day to make it even more splendid, even more surprising, even more magnificent!
By reading this guide, you are stepping into a secret, special world of magic-makers, dedicated to making their dreams a reality and wiping away the veil from the eyes of those who have forgotten the splendor around them. You will become our splendor-spinning, orange-scented, quirky and quixotic dream come true - spreading glitter and glam wherever you go!
And maybe, just maybe.... someone somewhere will come across what you've done and be enchanted. Maybe that seed will take root in them and maybe - just maybe- they'll start to believe in magic too.
