Originally, there was a blog that I called my creative notebook. I answered prompts, responded to questions, dug deep into my own psyche, and I put it all out onto this blog. I eventually closed that blog. I didn't want to lose all of this writing I had done for so many years. I collected it all together. These writings are the result of belonging to different writing groups, responding to various prompts, and journalling groups. You will find a mix of both fiction and non-fiction in this volume. This volume is volume two of a two volume set. The first volume is called Revenants.
My own Muse is rather sick and tired of all these sweet innocent little happy prompts that take you through flowery fields and end up with lollipops and a Wizard granting wishes at the end. My Muse demands a work shop that takes you through the field of poppies to be poisoned, that throws you down the well, that locks you in the closet with the angry beaver...well, you get the point. Sometimes you have to work your way through the Darkness to really reach the Light. This is one of those courses.
Here in this book you will find a collection of my articles and blog posts. I am really proud of many of these articles. I have had people ask about articles that they can no longer find online. I decided after taking down my last personal blog that I did not want to lose all my hard work, so I collected all the articles into one volume. That is what you will find here. I also collected a volume of poetry, and of creative prompt work. The blog itself has been turned into a pdf file and is now filed away on my hard drive so that if I ever need to find anything from that blog, I will have access to it.

This powerful little workshop is chock full of ideas to fill your very own creative journal, no matter your field of artistic endeavor, with your own material. In this manner, you will be able to access your own creative genius using your own prompts, rather than depending upon someone else's work that may or may not be quite that which you were seeking.

Critics agree in the abstract that "metafiction" refers to any novel that draws attention to its own fictional construction, but metafiction has been largely associated with the postmodern era. In this innovative new book Tabitha Sparks identifies a sustained pattern of metafiction in the Victorian novel that illuminates the art and intentions of its female practitioners. From the mid-nineteenth century through the fin de siècle, novels by Victorian women such as Charlotte Brontë, Rhoda Broughton, Charlotte Riddell, Eliza Lynn Linton, and several New Women authors share a common but underexamined trope: the fictional characterization of the woman novelist or autobiographer. Victorian Metafiction reveals how these novels systemically dispute the assumptions that women wrote primarily about their emotions or were restricted to trivial, sentimental plots. Countering an established tradition that has read novels by women writers as heavily autobiographical and confessional, Sparks identifies the literary technique of metafiction in numerous novels by women writers and argues that women used metafictional self-consciousness to draw the reader’s attention to the book and not the novelist. By dislodging the narrative from these cultural prescriptions, Victorian Metafiction effectively argues how these women novelists presented the business and art of writing as the subject of the novel and wrote metafiction in order to establish their artistic integrity and professional authority.
Why We Can’t Sleep meets Furiously Happy in this hilarious, heartfelt memoir about one woman’s midlife obsession with Benedict Cumberbatch, and the liberating power of reclaiming our passions as we age, whatever they may be. Tabitha Carvan was a new mother, at home with two young children, when she fell for the actor Benedict Cumberbatch. You know the guy: strange name, alien face, made Sherlock so sexy that it became one of the most streamed shows in the world? The force of her fixation took everyone—especially Carvan herself—by surprise. But what she slowly realized was that her preoccupation was not about Benedict Cumberbatch at all, as dashing as he might be. It was about finally feeling passionate about something, anything, again at a point in her life when she had lost touch with her own identity and sense of self. In This Is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch, Carvan explores what happens to women's desires after we leave adolescence…and why the space in our lives for pure, unadulterated joy is squeezed ever smaller as we age. She shines a light onto the hidden corners of fandom, from the passion of the online communities to the profound real-world connections forged between Cumberbatch devotees. But more importantly, she asks: what happens if we simply decide to follow our interests like we used to—unabashedly, audaciously, shamelessly? After all, Carvan realizes, there’s true, untapped power in finding your “thing” (even if that thing happens to be a British-born Marvel superhero) and loving it like your life depends on it.
