Into the Season of Liminality

Dearest Darkest Denizens,

I’d like to welcome you to the land beyond the veil. The time when time has no meaning, the space between holidays, the ephemeral world of almost-but-not-yet, a liminal world where waking up late and not knowing what day it is becomes the norm, a space between things, the place where darkness reigns.

This month, I spent a lovely time at Zinefest, where I wrote a few new Zines, including one in support of SNAP. I was struck by how it seemed to impact people. I was told story and story about how SNAP benefits matter. That made me feel like I was writing something that mattered. It made the darkness seem a little bit brighter.

I also have some potentially very cool big news coming in 2026—oh, I can’t tell you about it yet. But trust me, it’s gonna be BIG!

I don’t know about you, but I believe there are seasons of creativity. Sometimes they just aren’t clear to us as we’re entering them or when we’re in them. Which is to say, the best thing a creative can do is keep your head down and keep working. Try not to notice the ghosts floating by on the wind or the snow starting to fall. Instead, stay in that place where magic happens.

Write what you love, love what you write.
