This week, I began reading Dracula by Bram Stoker. For the third time. In truth, it is the only book I have ever read more than once, aside from the Scary Stories or Tales for the Midnight Hour series. Each time I read it, I find a new sense of enjoyment for it. This timeContinue reading “Escaping reality…”

Something a little lighter…
I don’t have much to say today. Nothing profound, at least. However, I did write something a while back that I felt like sharing here today. Enjoy! I open my eyes in the darkness, yet somehow I am able to see.Although I lie on a satin cushion, wood rests around and in front of me.AContinue reading “Something a little lighter…”
Two roads diverged in a wood…
I woke this morning to learn that some fortunate soul (not me) won an insanely large sum of money last night in the lottery. Can you imagine? I wouldn’t even know where to begin. It got me thinking, as such situations often do, about where I would like to travel if money was not anContinue reading “Two roads diverged in a wood…”
Waking up…
I started writing again today. I woke up this morning with an excellent short story in my head, so I have begun working on it today. It feels good to be inspired again, to know my voice has returned. The hiatus was long and difficult. Today, I feel content. I feel a sense of peaceContinue reading “Waking up…”
Oh, how time slips away…
Today marks one year since I lost someone very close to me. I won’t go into details here, but this morning I find myself thinking about loss. Thinking about how we, as human beings, deal with loss; particularly that of a loved one. The dead live on through our memories, brought forth by bouts ofContinue reading “Oh, how time slips away…”
The tell-tale heart is slowly beating once again…
If you read my previous blog post, you know I have been in a depressive slump for quite some time. I am glad to say that the muse has finally touched my soul once again, and I am writing. Here lies my latest endeavor: I open my mouth to shout,But nothing comes out,And I remainContinue reading “The tell-tale heart is slowly beating once again…”
Storm clouds…
“Into each life some rain must fall,Some days must be dark and dreary.” ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I apologize for the prolonged absence. Your dear Twisted Libra, although perpetually dreaming of life as a vampire, is actually just human. I go through my ups and downs just like anyone else. The last several weeks have been no exception. After writing so much in October, my mind honestly feltContinue reading “Storm clouds…”
“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”
I think Poe was definitely on to something there. You see, people in this modern era seem to want to label everything. To name everything in some whimsical, shorthand way. J-Lo. Brangelina. It just never stops. Well, I was today years old when I discovered that there is a new name for the string ofContinue reading ““I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.””
Waxing poetic…
Just a little something I cooked up this morning…enjoy! Darkness has a scent. Closing my eyes I breathe it in deeply And long to be set free. I want to slip away Away into the night sky Drifting among the tombstones And cemetery trees. Oh! To dance Upon my own grave. Oh! To see thoseContinue reading “Waxing poetic…”
Something different…
Most of my posts lately have been about my upcoming book or about Halloween. Now, there is nothing wrong with that, but this morning the muse struck while I was out walking my beloved animal companion and I wrote something new. It has nothing to do with a cemetery, or death, or anything truly spooky.Continue reading “Something different…”
