To Inspire You:

Magic is amazing isn’t it? Those days were you can levitate your friends off the floor, or that magic potion finally works and you can all make it out of the castle you’ve been held hostage in. Fridays, am I right? 😉 There is magic in the words we write and that’s why today I wanted to share, not just a picture about magic, but an interview Immortal Alexander and I just did with the author of the book Ella Enchanted. You may be familiar with her. Her name is Gail Carson Levine.

It was a childhood dream come true to talk to the author of some of my favorite books and ask her how she brings magic to life through her stories. So you’re in the mood for a little intellectual conversation today you can find the episode here: podcast.9thstory.com/s6e07.

On to the Poetry:

 It isn’t the spell
she was looking for, but it
is the spell she needs.
~Jeanette Andromeda

Created by You:

Last week the inspirational spark came from a teeming thing. Here’s what you created from it:

A dark offering
A dank, murky brew bubbling
The cup bears my name#HorrorHaikuesday

That ‘oh s**t’ moment
When you recall your oolong
Has steeped a half hour#haiku#teafoul#horrorhaikuesday ? 😄

A cup of darkness brewed in Hell, taste of the void. Care for a sip, child? #HorrorHaikuesday pic.twitter.com/osucFIVvEh

Nothing like staring
Darkness in the face, and in
every object.#horrorhaikuesday https://t.co/yqTTLB3WtP

Her bones bled, she vowed
Like a storm in a teacup
