This is Clematis Rebecca. She was planted about fifteen years ago and is dependable. I'm not sure I'm as dependable as Rebecca, but I try. Today my goal is to add 2k words to my WIP. I'm almost done, and where I'm going is in my head. #BookSky

A clematis planted last year. Lots of blooms hiding under leaves. I have 4k words to go before I send my WIP off to my editor. I'm dragging my feet because I can't face marketing these days. Who's with me? #BookSky

A graphic featuring the cover of Bottling His Ghosts depicting two rows of colorful bottles, each with a writhing spirit within, overlaid over four aesthetic images like dusty bottles and a stone manor with the text Victorian gothic horror novella.
A grieving widow.
A man drowning at the bottom of a bottle.
A house never haunted now held captive by the supernatural.
BOTTLING HIS GHOSTS, a Victorian gothic horror novella. #booksky

Tonight I will read from my contemporary gothic #horror series at the Theodore Roethke Home Museum in Saginaw, #Michigan with poets Ken Meisel and Jim Daniels.

Stormy skies and trees leafing out. It's totally spring. I'm on the downslope to 82k words. This WIP draft should be done next Monday barring any obstacles (be kind to me, Universe). #BookSky #photography
We've always had a fence around our veggie garden, but last year, it went the way of cursive when we edited our gardens. Today, I walk out to the one remaining garden, the asparagus patch. The rabbits had eaten it all. It looked like this when fenced Those are some happy rabbits. #GardenSky
Sunset, April 7, 2023. Overcast skies are the norm this year, so the wonders are hidden behind banks of clouds. Today I'm hoping to hit 70k in my WIP. Almost there... Where are you in the process? #BookSky

An arrowing sunset from April 5, 2022. Happy Easter to all who celebrate. #BookSky.
A sunset from April 4, 2023. Moving forward on the WIP from 65k words to 67k or thereabouts. I need about 13k more words, but realistically 7 more chapters to finish. Why does fiction require so much counting? #BookSky

I’m so sorry Debbie is having a hard time. Sending positive thoughts.
Debbie was admitted to hospital again as she had blood clots and her lung was full of fluid. They drained the fluid too quickly of 2 liters and then she needed rapid response as her body adjusted. Your support can make a real difference. Every bit helps. gofund.me/81319a010
A sunset from April 2, 2022. I've been inching forward on my WIP and finally--finally--uncovered the way onward. That's the problem with the middle of an 80k word story. Oh, and AI was NOT used in the creation of those em-dashes. #BookSky
Stormy sunsets, the first week of April 2023. Storms promised for today too, and that's no April Fool's joke. Any dark fantasy readers out there? What about horror? I'm looking to expand my audience. Check out my blog at sycoffelt.com. This month, Why I Write Horror. #BookSky

Challenging putting it out there so often…worrying that you’re annoying people or seeming solipsistic.
Still, I gotta keep trying. I owe it to Montag Press for taking a chance on my #gothic #horror novel.

Sunset on March 22, 2026, suddenly turn pink and reddish orange. Trying to finish the last 15k to 25k words of TLSQ, but once again the Universe is throwing obstacles my way. This is starting to feel personal rather than random. #BookSky
First sunset of Spring 2023.
Time to start thinking about planting veggies in pots and potatoes in bags. If only it weren't so cold outside. The good news? Despite all the difficulties of Mercury in retrograde, the newsletter is ready and scheduled. I'd love to send you one. sycoffelt.com #BookSky
