Starting the Year off with the first actual Wild Wednesday…This should be interesting… Currently I am not even sure what to talk about…I feel like I opened up topics and now I am terrified that I will drive y’all away with my actual interests…Stupid right?
So Let’s Talk Movies. I don’t watch as many as I used to, but I have some defined favorites. I was really into theater as a teen. So many of my favorite movies have technical things that make them amazing.
I want to recommend a movie that I feel has been forgotten. The Uninvited. No, not that new one, but the black and white ghost story from 1944. It not only had an amazing story, but what few effects were used were pulled off flawlessly. I felt like this could have been performed on a stage and still pulled off. It was only mildly scary, which for a ghost story is a good thing, and it had such a sweet story to pull the viewer in.
What movie would you recommend that is mostly unknown? and why?

My 2 Cents – Most of you know I spend quite a bit of time on Tiktok…and this has become quite the popular song there. It is such a powerful message. We spend so much of our time trying to be something for the world around us…and often we don’t see the parts of ourselves that are actually worthwhile. I have never had a good view of myself…so I fight to see my own worth. The message here hits.
Thoughtcicles will release In January and since I am so very close to finishing with Ethereal Dreams I will be looking at trying to get it published by the end of February (link to come) (I am still 5 poems from finishing it but I should be able to get them done this week) That being said…I always pick my next volume before I get the current one done. I have for the last 3 asked for opinions…but this time this cover has me obsessed. I am hoping to be able to release at least a couple of volumes in 2023, but I don’t want to go making any promises.
Fae Corps is going to be busy. We have 2 anthologies planned, at least one book from DW Storer, a book from Raz T Slasher (maybe more than one), a book from Ruan Bradford Wright, and I have a children’s book planned for kids week. We may be adding in a few other people (depending on how things go). Being as I am the main person running the house for Fae Corps at the moment… that makes it much tighter for me to get my writing in as well.
If you are interested in the newsletter for Fae Corps…I have set up a sign up page. It goes out at the beginning of each month.
Though I am scheduling it ahead…this will be posting on Yule. I will be with my family enjoying my Solstice. I wish all of you the bright blessing of whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year. (The above image is my own art.)
