I have a number of significant changes going on at the moment, all of which are taking me in exciting new directions. The first thing to announce is that I'm no longer the only contributor to this blog. My writing collaborator, David Bridger, is going to be a frequent contributor henceforth.
I've been writing with David for more than a year now. We first met via the Witchlit group on Facebook, traded fictional works and then realised we have a lot in common. At this point we've written one novel together and are underway with a second. David is a solitary Druid, exploring folk magic and witchcraft amongst other things, so he's going to be bringing experiences from his own journey.
I anticipate that at least some of the time we'll be passing ideas back and forth between us over different blog posts, and that this will be a good way to stretch into new ideas and possibilities. We do well when we're swapping ideas, and I look forward to seeing how this plays out on the blog.
I don't always experience summer as a rush of energy and possibility. Outside my window, the nearby hawthorn tree is smothered in blossom. I feel enthused and inspired by what's going on in my life with this opening out of new possibilities and ways of working. At the moment it is as giddy as midsummer flowers, with that buzzing energy of pollen, bees and high summer, but that may be in part because I'm out of practice when it comes to enthusiasm. The things I'm exploring and developing at the moment all feel sustainable, and my energy levels have improved dramatically in recent weeks such that what I want to do no longer feels ambitious.
Onwards!
