Born in the Cold: How Lockdown and Isolation Birthed The Ordinary Bruja There are stories you write because they’ve been living inside you.And then there are stories that sneak in when the world shuts down and says, Now what? The Ordinary Bruja was the latter.Born not from a place of inspiration—but isolation.From the grief-laced silence of lockdown. From the heavy stillness that filled every room during those early months of COVID.

The Ordinary Bruja was born in lockdown. I wanted to escape—but the grief, cold, and silence shaped something deeper. A haunted girl. A haunted hill. And a truth we all felt: isolation changes us. ✨ #TheOrdinaryBruja #WritingDuringCOVID #LatineReads #OwnVoices #BrujaMagic
