I'm on the other side of the same coin as you as neither me or my husband wanted children, and I get tired of the negative opinions people brazenly tell me about my choice because they see it as abnormal. npub1zwrtj4682lpyd9g0rfxc67pddja8q4smmh563n52s3gfgm97p5csfv7lnt Emma Cox Finally!

For me, it is the beginning and ending of the year. It is life and death. Light and dark. New and old. Seeds need the cold and dark to thrive come spring, so I plant the seeds I wish to nurture in the coming year, and cull what no longer serves me and put it on the compost. When you think about it, the land is one giant rotting graveyard which sustains the living. npub1zwrtj4682lpyd9g0rfxc67pddja8q4smmh563n52s3gfgm97p5csfv7lnt Emma Cox @nprofile…mwjf I remember going onto Goodreads and being so relieved to find I wasn’t the only one to find Lila Bard from the Darker Shade of Magic trilogy to be the most unlikeable of protagonists.

I recognise story beats, spot the mcguffin and pick up on the foreshadowing early in the book/film/program. I find this especially on streaming services – I guess that’s because most people don’t watch the TV as they're looking at their phones so it’s spoon fed. npub1zwrtj4682lpyd9g0rfxc67pddja8q4smmh563n52s3gfgm97p5csfv7lnt Emma Cox @nprofile…009v wow.

For me the 31st October marks the beginning of winter and the new year. It's a time to honour the ancestors and the dead. A time to take stock. To plant the seeds/ideas which need the dark and cold in order to germinate once spring comes. It is a time to turn my gaze inward at the inner work I want to do. What inner housekeeping is needed? What do I want to clear out and what do I want to nurture? npub1zwrtj4682lpyd9g0rfxc67pddja8q4smmh563n52s3gfgm97p5csfv7lnt Emma Cox @nprofile…009v I regularly mute the hashtags because they are too repetitive on my feed. I feel my answers add nothing new and they rarely spark conversations, even when I’ve made an effort to comment on other people taking part. npub1zwrtj4682lpyd9g0rfxc67pddja8q4smmh563n52s3gfgm97p5csfv7lnt Emma Cox @nprofile…myfn now I’m intrigued to read up on the Canadian First Nations. I play with Welsh mythology in some of mine, but being Cornish I’m practically cousins with them, so there is a lot of overlap. But that is the case with a lot of folklore. The Wild Hunt is a good example. Their myth spans across much of Europe. npub1zwrtj4682lpyd9g0rfxc67pddja8q4smmh563n52s3gfgm97p5csfv7lnt Emma Cox @nprofile…myfn your last sentence is a good point. There’s a lot of romantasy about that relies on myth from Celtic cultures, which has irritated some seeing their culture reduced to fairy porn. There was even an American author using cultural names and not even bothering to learn how to pronounce them. npub1zwrtj4682lpyd9g0rfxc67pddja8q4smmh563n52s3gfgm97p5csfv7lnt Emma Cox @nprofile…myfn apparently maggots were a good protein source when we were hunter/gathers. Hunt a larger animal down. Take some of the meat to eat. Leave some for the maggots and then keep harvesting them! npub1zwrtj4682lpyd9g0rfxc67pddja8q4smmh563n52s3gfgm97p5csfv7lnt Emma Cox @nprofile…009v 💚 npub1zwrtj4682lpyd9g0rfxc67pddja8q4smmh563n52s3gfgm97p5csfv7lnt Emma Cox @nprofile…tzh3 yum yum!

Photography, writing, painting… I couldn’t switch off the voice in my head which criticised me for being selfish for pursuing my creative work and told me there were better and more productive things to be doing like housework. And that’s a mentality that’s been nurtured by society. npub1zwrtj4682lpyd9g0rfxc67pddja8q4smmh563n52s3gfgm97p5csfv7lnt Emma Cox @nprofile…va03 @nprofile…myfn npub1zwrtj4682lpyd9g0rfxc67pddja8q4smmh563n52s3gfgm97p5csfv7lnt Emma Cox #ScribesAndMakers Has anyone been unsupportive of your creative pursuits/art? If so, how did you handle that?
