Halloween is just around the corner, and in the spirit of the spookiest holiday, chapter sixty-seven of Literary Blend is all about bringing magic into the writing process. Grab some crystals and light a candle, because Ciara Smith returned to the show to share her witchy wisdom. While we wove spirituality and the writing process together, we talked about rituals, color association, astrology, intention, and much more. Also, make sure to stick around for the plot twist, which is a Tarot reading that completely helped me finish the rough chapter outline of my young adult gothic thriller. I loved having Ciara back on the show for such a fascinating conversation, so whether you’re spiritual or not, I hope you find our chat interesting and learn something you can apply to your own author journey.
