Day 13 – Duh! #DoMagick
Remember this?
Foundational Sigil of Sorath Guess what this dumb shit forgot to incorporate into the base foundation of the Sorath model? Uh huh.
It’s fixed now (fixed it last night before meditation), but I’m still leaving the model unassembled until the 20th. In the meantime, hopefully the cats won’t climb on the altar and say, “Oooh! Hooman left us toys!” Cute furry little fuckers.
Anyway – guess what happened when I fixed it? That sense of dread and anxiety vanished within 20 minutes, a...

Day 12: No Words #DoMagick
Actually, I always have words. I’m a fucking writer – of course there are words. They’re just not nice words. Hence the reason I’ll just shut the hell up about this month so far. lol
This morning I took apart the Sorath model until the 20th and will be reconstructing it then.
I’m not so sure I’m ready for that kind of intensity, especially right now. I went through my list of to-do’s between now and July 17, and almost had an anxiety attack. I am an introvert with social anxiety. So when I ge...

Day11: Successful Promotional Events #DoMagick
Today started with a nice wake-up ritual in the temple. I left offerings and asked for a successful online event today. Then I went to the computer and discovered I’d already received some editing notes from one of my beta readers on the next Thirteen Covens novella. The online event with my fellow WOTY and IWOTY finalists was a great success! If you missed it, be sure to enter our Rafflecopter to be entered in a drawing to win a free Kindle!
I also revealed the new Thirteen Covens trailer:

Day 10: This is Where the Magick Happens #DoMagick
Editing. This is where the magick happens. The problem is that my brain is on stuff that needs to be done. So today I vowed to finish Ba’al Collective so I could give my full attention to Eagle’s Talon Gray. I am concerned there is a missing scene in ETG that will need to be written, but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. I’m afraid this fantasy story has become more of a love story, but it was bound to happen. Though it becomes more action oriented toward the end. I am also concerned...

Day 9: We Always… #DoMagick
Have you ever just had one of those days where no matter how hard you tried to shake it, and no matter what you do to make it better, you feel like everything is a pointless exercise in either overcoming obstacles, or having an abundance of patience (often for those situations or people who don’t deserve it) for a warm fuzzy that never manifests? That’s precisely what today has been like.
I did a lot of promo today. Let’s just say that today’s promo wasn’t nearly as well received as yesterda...

Day 8: Moving Again #DoMagick
I feel that so far, my posts have been rather banal. But then real magick isn’t always about exciting revelation, quick changes, and physical manifestation of the Daemonic. Sometimes it is slow and plodding and there’s not much going on but thinking, small baby steps with regard to follow-through, well-placed placed prayers and offerings, and small magickal actions. This is how I feel right now. My magick isn’t bold and sweeping at the moment, but then I suppose it doesn’t need to be. I go w...

Day 7 – One Week – Slow Progress #DoMagick
So the first week is down and I have nothing overly exciting to show for it, yet. I did some advertising and some prep for this weekend’s FB event. I also started some promo’s and I’ll need to put out a couple of newsletters this month. I have noticed that in the past two months I’ve been spending at least an hour a day on email and PM’s so I brought my personal assistant back to the mix. I try to keep costs low by only hiring him when I need him. Well, he was needed. He has been retained ag...

Day 6: Goals and Strategy #DoMagick
Got up, did my normal morning routine – opened the temple, left offerings, said prayers. Had my coffee. Checked my email and carefully chose the items that needed to be dealt with immediately. Left the rest for later (at least two hours worth of email in there).
I moved back into my office and just left the door open so I wouldn’t be frozen out of there. Seriously – come winter I’m installing a heater and just keeping the vent closed in summer. I can put on a sweater if I need to in summer....

Day 5: Pep Talk #DoMagick
Got up this morning. Opened the temple. Prayer and offerings. Had my coffee. Got to work at 9am. Was feeling a bit anxious this morning. Overwhelmed. Unable to function creatively.
The first thing I did this afternoon was go to a friend and whine to him, “HELP! I can’t get anything done!” Then I proceeded to offload all my stress on him. He reminded me to breathe and reminded me that I just needed fifteen minutes. Nothing more. Fifteen minutes and I could, in the very least, work some medit...
