  1. The insecurities…

    ...fueled by the trauma of the past... 🧸 I used to be someone who was rather sure of herself. If I knew something, then I knew it 💯 and I would go with that as strongly as I could. But, I was/am different. My reasoning didn't follow the "rules", it went it's own way. And, what annoyed people most about that, was that even though I didn't follow their rules, and they struggled to understand my logic, but my results were sound. But... They could not "just" admit that. Nope... I didn't make any sense, my reasoning was off, so how could my results every be right? Or, to make things worse at times, how could my results be even better than theirs? 🤔 I never understood why people were so silly, as in why they could not understand my logic. But then, because I could not understand theirs, it was all too easy to start believing them when they told me all sorts of negative things about me. And, because many people felt the need to "correct" me, it must mean that I actually was doing things wrong, and I was too stupid to do things the right way... 😢 […]

  9. Trying to connect to my “calm” side 🕯️

    For a while now, I have been struggling with bad dreams. Some were just too weird, some were triggers of the past, and once, at the start of this month, it was pure hell... (One last wag 😭 - caution: it's a very sad post). I started to draw back a little. I felt at a loss with my emotions. The smallest triggers could cause me to tear up... I couldn't find joy in the things that usually calmed and relaxed me. Every time I woke up earlier than the alarm... If I had about 6½ hours of sleep, and I felt like I did while waking up.. I would not get back to sleep again. I found that, trying to sleep again after bad dreams, it often lead to more bad dreams, and I never would wake up afterwards, feeling any better. Often, if I would try to sleep some more, I would feel even more tired, because they bad dreams just wore me down. I never really recall dreams, I just have feelings, emotions, sweat, an elevated heart rate... Only, the one nightmare I mentioned, I remembered that, because that was based on a very real and sad memory, that keeps haunting me ever since it happened... 😢 […]

  10. The fourth…

    As many of you who have followed this blog site for a while will know, my bestest soulmate unfortunately passed away on July 4th 2025. It's been a little over 4 months now, and I still miss her like crazy. I always knew that she was special, that she gave me so much more than I could ever try to give back to her. But, I tried with all my power, abilities, money, and love... But, as time without her passes by, I realize more and more that she did so much more than I thought! So many things where I feel I may have taken things for granted, just because her intuition was just right and she knew my needs even better than I did. And, of course, I tried my best to provide to all her needs and wants as well. I may have spoiled her a bit, but now I wonder if it was enough... It's been a few days since it was the 4th. As I am a night owl, I am often awake during the night, enjoying the calm and darkness. But the night of July 3 going on 4, plagued by pain and trauma, I was awake with Arwen, and I saw her struggles and uneasiness. It hurt me to see her like that, and I knew I had to call the vet ASAP in the morning. I wrote a blog that night (Will this be it?), fearing that I was going to lose her. And, unfortunately, I was right, and she passed away with my mum and me at her side around 9:30 that Friday morning. 😢 […]

  11. Sleep paralysis demons are fun sometimes and laughter makes them weak from the knees - so I made a comic about the times I was having sleep paralysis/nightmare/night terror/a surprise nap on the can!

  12. I may not be writing my books at the moment, but I am writing down the horrific tragedies that play out in my nightmares like they'd one day become Blumhouse Movies...

  13. Cracked tiles, wonky gutters, leaning walls – why are Britain’s new houses so rubbish?

    Buying a brand new property these days is often less of a dream home, more a living nightmare.

    With housebuilders – and their shareholders – making huge profits, how come so many new builds aren’t up to scratch?

    A Giant Spider

    a peek behind the scenes into my design process. I brainstormed up this new creature/encounter type (and some related exciting & horrific plot threads) this evening after dinner
