Author: innowen
i was adopted. i was born into identity. i have no idea where i came from historically or ethnically. Therefore, i am a culture of myself. All the activities and chapters in my life created who i am today. i am free to select those i deem worthy of being in my family. i do not have to abide by longstanding rules or regulations. i do not have to follow in the footsteps of some long dead relative. i am a culture of myself. What i do, the things i believe in, and the rituals i make... build my identity.
i am connected to nothing at all, and deeply connected to everything around me.
i came from the earth. i am a true child of nature and spirituality. This is my gift.

Day Four, NaNoWriMo 08
Word Count 2682 for a total of 9446 — just SHY of 10k. I’d push it but my hand is shaking from the writing and I really don’t want to hurt myself this year. Today’s writing session went lots better.…

NaNoWriMo 2008
So, I’m back at it again this November with NaNoWriMo.org. This is my 7th attempt at writing a complete first draft of a novel from scratch. And this year, I’m doing it 100% by hand. Yeah, I’m a bit nuts.…
Pandora’s Lifebox, or the Eternity Chest
Pandora’s Lifebox was written in 2008 as my NaNoWriMo entry. This novel is special for two reasons: I wrote this one by hand (it was painful and I’ll never try that again). And it also represents my first foray into…
My First Tarot Publication
I can now finally say, that I am a published pagan/tarot author. It’s been one of my goals to start pushing out into the tarot writing scene and I’ve done it! I am very proud of this and hope there…
Thoughts on the Writing Process
There are times, like today, when I write and feel like the pen doesn’t capture exactly what is coming out of my mind. It’s like the language and words betray that perfect image I have in my head. It frustrates…
The Beltane Fire
A few months ago, me and my friend Michelle were at Bed, Bath, and Bondage (Beyond). We were shopping for a few kitchen utilities. I stumbled upon a box of “Everlasting Tealight Candles” and immediately had to have them. These…
Come to Life
It was late and Jill was still in her studio. The painting she was commissioned for seemed uninspiring– flat and stale. It was due in the morning and she felt pressured into creating a masterpiece in only a few hours.…
