The Crow Witch 🌙 @vicorva@wandering.shop

New #introductions time!

I'm kind of a mess -- but a friendly one!

I'm an author, a #narrator, and a moon #witch in training.

I talk a lot about my familiar, Merlin the cat.

I post a lot of #writing and #microfiction for free -- mostly cute creatures and monster romance and #cats.

Wyrden. is an interactive fiction that will be updated regularly with new stories.

Each story is designed to take less than 5 mins so it's easy to fit into your day.

Plays in your browser. ^_^

She saw on TV that ghosts made things cold, and she’d always had chilly feet at night.

So she found a stone with a hole through the middle and she waited under the covers until the chill made her toes curl.

Gently, she sat up, closing one eye and holding the stone up to the other.

Shimmering and thin as a beam of moonlight, the cat stretched and resettled on her feet.

She smiled and went back to bed, careful not to kick.

She’d always wanted a cat.

‘It’s just a pigeon,’ said the girl. ‘Let it die.’

The boy lifted it with gentle hands. It was too weak to struggle. He could feel its heartbeat against his fingertips. ‘It just needs help, that’s all.’

He nursed it day and night. Warmed it by a lamp, cleaned its wounds. Fed it from his hand. Every day it grew stronger. And larger.

After a week, it was the size of a cat. A month, a dog. It gazed at him with adoring eyes. And one day, it would carry him into the sky.

Just tapping away and painstakingly making progress on my projects.

I'm very happy for all the people who are somehow able to be MORE productive right now, but I struggle at the best of times (thanks, brain chemistry!) and this is not the best of times.

But the teeniest tiniest progress is still being made, and I'm going to be pleased about it.

Good morning fedifolk and tootfriends!

Today I wish you a restful moment ✨

Am feeling motivated today though. A handful of people have been very kind about my writing and as you know, I am a machine fueled by praise. 😅

Also making good progress on Wyrden.!

Sorry for the delay, combination of stressful things and scope creep (this update is a bit bigger). But it'll be out this week and it'll hopefully be fun!

Getting writing done in short bursts today. With new pressures, I'm having to change the way I work.

If I can't produce as much, then I can't produce as much. But I'm still writing, and that feels good.

Good morning fedifolk and tootfriends!

Today I wish you satisfaction with something you're working on ✨

He's been here an hour

In his words: 'You've reminded me of what was fun about this game' which honestly is the sweetest thing and the best feeling ever.

May the silliness continue!

And we played a lot of WoW with our friend! He insisted he was just going to show us around a bit and wouldn't under any circumstances level with us, since he's had the game since it came out over a decade ago and it's all old hat to him.

But after a week of jumping off zepelins with us and sneaking through far too high level areas in search of herbs, and other silliness, he's started a new character to level with us and it's been a blast. ^_^ We went to a faire yesterday!

Joh has started gardening! Which is wild considering we don't have a garden or good light or windows. XD

I'll go into details on patreon this week I think (with pictures!), but they're trying to grow potatoes in our garage.

We've also repotted the sickly succulents I was given a while ago. Hopefully we can give them a better life now they aren't in tiny egg cups.

Joh spends a lot of time running into the garage to check on the potatoes. :)

Joh and I played more Jackbox.tv games with our siblings, which we normally play in-person. The siblings were all on one mic which also gave feedback on our voices and the TV, but it was loads of fun.

I won twice in the deceit games thanks first to the heroic sacrifice of my little brother and next to the excellent lying of my little sister. There was a lot of yelling and laughing and all the chaos I expect from hanging out with my family.

I can't wait to do it again soon.

We ran out of cat food and are still quarrantining due to covid. Joh's parents put out a call on a local group looking to support the community during covid and boxes and boxes of cat food turned up at our house -- enough for 2 weeks. And Joh's parents kindly paid for it, which is only a little easier for them to afford than it is for us.

Along with the food, someone sent a hand-decorated jar that had been turned into a kind of vase. We're going to use it for candles!

Some highlights from this weekend:
