Still playing catch up. This is so relatable. I feel my life in seasons. Thank you for this. Love, Virg

Ah, Cancer. I'm Cancer rising. I love houses and anything to do with living quarters as it were. I get very excited about moving house, although it's a complete pain in the butt. 😅

Emma Steel's avatar

Moving is a pain!

Wow, so writing is quite new to you? Or what happened before

Emma Steel's avatar

I do enjoy it.

Debra Goring's avatar

Have you written since you were a kid?

Emma Steel's avatar

Not poetry. I started short stories in 2024 and poetry a year ago (almost exactly)

Golly gosh, a new level of awe! 🫢

I was going to say something about secret sauce too. Now, I read your beautiful poem to my bestie ex and he didn't know what the word arching meant. Yo me, that was my favourite word and moved me greatly describing idk a season, nature, the air as arching is sublime, superb, but then we are opposite in so many ways: I'm Leo, he's Aquarius. Does that have anything to do with it? Don't write me off, you never know. Are you either of those signs?

I’m Cancer.

And my bestie ex doesn’t know how this comes out of me - she actually said that to me.

Aww, no magic pill or elixir then? Shame. 🙁

There is a bit of magic that the muses grace me with, for sure, and for which I am grateful.

When I write short stories, I might write 5000-15000 words in a day!

That’s not to say I don’t consider or think about what I’m writing. Perhaps it comes because it does all have meaning me, and that makes it quicker.

Coool! You'll have to tell me sometime how you do that! 😃

Emma Steel's avatar

🤷‍♀️No idea.

Debra Goring's avatar

Whoa! Loved this!!! 😛🩷🩷🩷

Thank you, Debra. 🫶

I was to post something else today, but wrote this instead before I left for an appointment!

Debra Goring's avatar

Wow, a quick, off-the cuff, before you left? Impressive. 😊

I wrote five. One was a post (not emailed and just shared to notes: The Myth I made), the others have been scheduled for later in the week.
