Holly Days in Cratersville
Happy Holly Days! It’s the time of year I think a lot about the small town of Cratersville, where I grew up. Cratersville inhabited a desert valley located within a techno-magically created orb known as Red Rainbow Minor. The aesthetic of Cratersville was a bit of Norman Rockwell Americana with a lot of Jetson’s cartoonishness […]
’Tis the Season to be Holly
Every year, right after Turkey Day, the Holly Zings would appear. These little creatures with the green holly wings would hide in plain sight amongst the other Holly Day decor where they would wait eagerly for the perfect moment to interject a little Holly Day frivolity into someone’s day. Some would hitch rides on the […]
Winter Wish
It’s the morning of Winter Wish Eve. In a few hours Nori and I will be hosting a Winter Wish party at Zell’s Place. But this morning is a time for remembering as I have done for the three years since arriving in the Creators Realm. For many, Winter Wish is symbolic. Wishes for the […]
The Lonely Life of Ghost
“Ghost is lonely,” Poppy said. I raised an eyebrow, much like our parents would have upon hearing such an utterance. We were walking to the coffee shop in Cratersville, fresh from the secret portal that took us to and from school. It was a Monday, which meant it was washday. In Cratersville proper—meaning downtown—people hung […]
Origins – Little Creatures
Every creation has an origin story. The little creatures of Jelly’s World are no different. In Jelly’s story, the little creatures’ origins are tied to the mysterious and powerful Magic that Jellybean discovers when they are ten. Together with their younger sister, Poppy, they unleash not only their imaginations, but a fair bit of chaos […]
Star-Spangled Birthday
Hello July, and Happy Birthday to all you July Babies! The great thing about July birthdays is that you don’t have a lot of other major holidays to steal the limelight from your special day. The bad thing about having a July birthday is that a lot of people are on vacation which means you […]
Let Me Entertain You
It took me a while to discover my true self because I was always comparing myself to my father or my sister. It was my sister who diagnosed my shadow syndrome and helped me to discover my own true light. My father was a great magician and entertainer. I don’t claim to be an illusionist […]
The Magic
At first, when my sister, Poppy, and I discovered the Magic that allowed us to create little creatures, we weren’t really sure what we had gotten ourselves into or, for that matter, what exactly the Magic that we had invited into our lives was. Eventually though, as our number of creations multiplied, we started wondering […]
Discover Your Magic
We all have a magic inside us, one that is truly our own. This is our superpower, our change-the-world talent. Many times, we don’t recognize our own magic because we’re too busy trying to imitate the magic of others. Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in someone else’s story that we forget the work it […]
Letters to Earth
As I write these words, its early spring. I’m sitting at a small table in my star wagon. My windows are open, allowing a cool breeze to waft through the room. The drafts flicker the flame of a nearby candle and flutter the pages of my Creation Book as I try to write these words. […]
