I'm a blind fantasy romance writer who loves Jesus Christ,reading, clean romance, singing, and my 2 mainecoon kittens.
I'm not a Halloween person, but I wrote this micro fiction a few months ago that creeped me out, so figured I'd post it during the spooky season. Hope it creeps you out too? I really don't but enjoy the read #writingcommunity #microfiction #spooky #Halloween

Once his eyes rested on its cover, he heard a desperate whisper, felt a shiver of warning down his spine.
Barnabus opened the book. He knew its magic was forbidden, but temptation always overruled common sense. #fiction
My post on Substack this week talks about what I learned from writing my first short story #writingcommunity #fantasy #shortstory open.substack.com/pub/crystald...
09.05.2025 16:06 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0This chapter started at 1400 words and is now at 2000 words. Proving the theory of even if you're struggling, it's better to get words on the page to edit later #writingcommunity #fantasy #romantasy
08.05.2025 20:37 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It feels kind of weird using an entire chapter to finish a sub plot for a character. But 3000 words later I'm like it's really nice to have the character at this point of their journey, so guess it was worth it #writingcommunity #fantasy #romantasy
05.05.2025 01:41 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Oh man I think I'm actually like 2 or 3 chapters away from finishing the stand alone WIP.
it'll be the end of an era. I've been working on this for like 2 years.
Of course will be going into revisions after that. But just the fact that I'm so close is so surreal. #writingcommunity #fantasy
