Snarkology Halloween Hop: Things that go Bump in Scotland 42 comments

This entry was posted in Magic on

I can often be found pondering quaint and curious volumes of forgotten lore.  Research is half the fun of writing for me. Indulging this passion takes up endless hours, provides fodder for numerous nightmares, and gives me a wicked edge in trivia games.  And you never know when some tidbit will come in handy in a story.

I’ve found that every retrograde brings an opportunity to learn–as well as an opportunity to try out new curse words–and this retrograde was about patience, slowing down and smelling the […]
