Illustration drawn by KJ Silver of her FMC - Aelyn -and her familiar, program I use is clipstudio paint. On the left down corner, there's a redhead girl with her eyes closed and wearing a purple cape that flows over to the right side. On the upper right corner, there is a white owl with yellow eyes and a half moon on his forehead. They are both enveloped in a magical glow, surrounded by glowing fairies and fairy dust.
Background image is an apothecary table, with dried spices and flower petals. White text on top of it is an insert from my project, it reads: "I would love to see you try" Eytre huffed, his chest puffed out. "No one is harming my witch" "Ha!" Celest snickered, petting Grey on the head with her paw. "Like you are powerful enough to stop my witch, bird." "Don't tempt me with a good time, you poor excuse of a mouse-trap."
Photo of my personal journal. Text reads: Prompt Week 12: Examine your habits and behaviours - which of these support your dream life and which hinder it? My answers: Support- waking up early, meal prepping, movement (walks, runs, yoga and pilates), intentional work block in the morning (before anything else), journaling, spiritual practice, discipline, shadow work, personal curriculum, sticking to my routines, intentional rest (+ cozy hobbies), staying curious and open to learning new things, embracing change Hinder - going to sleep late, takeouts / not doing our weekly food shop, phone first thing in the morning, giving into my imposter syndrome and anxiety (and not doing what I want because of it), snacks, being an indoor cat + not actively planning socials, overly pay attention to others' needs and opinions, self limiting and defeating talk (thanks brain)
Background image: witchy supplies with rose petals around it White text: "Excue me, but I've never felt better." I was very offended. Who was he to judge anything? He was dead.

Project Clouds, YA Cozy Fantasy snip: You won’t believe this Lyn, they have a forge and an observatory! I chuckled at his enthusiasm, though I was more exited to find where the library was.

Of course I would show up, you dumbass.” “Who are you calling a dumbass, you single-minded mule?” She rolled her eyes again. “This is nothing, you know I’ve been through worse.” “Worse?” Onwyn asked, baffled. She looks like she has been thrown down a mountain and she says she’s been through worse? “Who’s this?” Dhalis pointed his chin at Onwyn, not hiding his disdain for the lion shifter. Like he was trash that he had to take out.
