Autumn aurora

A geomagnetic storm popped up very quickly and resulted in some beautiful Aurora that pulsated faster than I've ever seen before, and some cloud cover provided some nice contrast and depth

Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.

Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

You know, I still wait at the edge of town

Praying straight to God that maybe you'll come back around

I cry every day and the bottles make it worse

'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt

And I found photographs of our school, on the day we met

I thought that you were so beautiful, it was love, I guess

And you might never come back home, and I may never sleep at night

But God, I just hope you're doing fine out there, I just pray that you're alright

— “A House in Nebraska” - Ethel Cain (@mothercain)

FALL SONG

It is a dark fall day. The earth is slightly damp with rain. I hear a jay. The cry is blue. I have found you in the story again. Is there another word for ‘‘divine’’? I need a song that will keep sky open in my mind. If I think behind me, I might break. If I think forward, I lose now. Forever will be a day like this Strung perfectly on the necklace of days. Slightly overcast Yellow leaves Your jacket hanging in the hallway Next to mine.

My writing haven

I wasn't tagged but really wanted to do it anyway and @rivenantiqnerd said open tag so thank you for sharing this fun little exercise.

Rules: describe your ideal writing setup/location using just words and no pictures.

I kinda went over board...

🍂📚✨🍁📜🕯️🍂📚✨🍁📜🕯️🍂📚✨🍁📜🕯️🍂📚✨🍁📜🕯️

In my ideal writing space, old meets modern functionality, creating the perfect sanctuary for creativity. At the heart of the room stands an old mahogany writing desk, its six drawers filled with highlighers, pens and other little things.

Sitting cross-legged on a comfortable green velvet chair, my legs tucked beneath me as I settle in for hours of uninterrupted writing. Next to the desk is a bronze lamp that casts a soft yellow glow, bathing the room in a warm and inviting light that provides light but doesn't hurt my eyes.

A reliable printer sits within reach, ready to bring my words to life on crisp, white paper. Next to it, a sleek monitor awaits connection to my laptop, offering a larger canvas for my thoughts to unfold. My laptop, a portal to endless possibilities, rests on the desk, ever ready to capture the flow of inspiration.

Sitting on my desk are old, beloved books by Mary Shelley, Louisa May Alcott, and Jane Austen, their pages worn and yellowed from years of admiration. Leather notebooks and metal pens lie in neat stacks, waiting to be filled with ideas, notes, and sketches. Above the desk, a moodboard hangs on the wall, a vibrant collage of images and words that fuel my current work-in-progress.

A big cup of chai sits beside me, its spicy aroma mingling with my favourite cherry lip balm. My noise-canceling headphones rest on my head ready to envelop me in a cocoon of silence or play Taylor Swift whenever needed.

In the corner of the room, for Barbara, is a cozy little cat bed. It’s nestled beside a ceramic water bowl, ensuring my feline friend stays hydrated while keeping me company. Along with a cat tree with a built-in scratcher, providing the perfect perch for my cat to survey the room or indulge in a playful moment. As I can't have a writing space without my Little writing buddy.

Through a nearby window, I can gaze out at a serene garden, where roses and peonies bloom in a riot of colors. The sight of these beautiful flowers, swaying gently in the breeze, brings a sense of peace and inspiration to my writing haven. This space, a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern convenience.

jo march mood board 🖋️📚📜

[no-where-new-hero]

Her ‘scribbling suit’ consisted of a black woolen pinafore on which she could wipe her pen at will, and a cap of the same material, adorned with a cheerful red bow, into which she bundled her hair when the decks were cleared for action. This cap was a beacon to the inquiring eyes of her family, who during these periods kept their distance, merely popping in their heads semi-occasionally to ask, with interest, “Does genius burn, Jo?” They did not always venture even to ask this question, but took an observation of the cap, and judged accordingly. If this expressive article of dress was drawn low upon the forehead, it was a sign that hard work was going on, in exciting moments it was pushed rakishly askew, and when despair seized the author it was plucked wholly off, and cast upon the floor.

Little Women, Louisa May Alcott

Thinking about that post saying that we have to acknowledge Jo's femininity in addition to her masculinity and this emphasis on a close connection between her clothes and her creativity feels like a good contribution to that!
