“If you find yourself in the midst of a night that is dark and long, may you also find grace to lie there, to wait, and to trust in a coming dawn.” Holding onto and speaking this over myself 💛
My name means the dark. lol. I think maybe because I was born in January I have a certain comfort with darker days and as a novelist I feel like I spend most of the time in the dark about where my stories are going. Sometimes it’s hard to make peace with, but we have no choice, do we? 😅
I do find that artists tend to have a bit more comfort with darkness and even uncertainty. It’s like the creative process requires surrender to mystery. What type of novels do you write?
I write family sagas set in 19th century America. My latest is about a young man trying to save his father’s farm from ruin during the Civil War. It’s about his sacrificial love for his family and about our agricultural heritage too. I love complex family dynamics 🥰
