Far safer through an Abbey gallop,
The stones achase,
Than, moonless, one's own self encounter
In lonesome place.
– Emily Dickinson, “Ghosts”

What do you suppose she's drinking?

Today's writing progress:
🧜♀️I finally have a mermaid, except she's probably a wolf and doesn't like anybody;
🃏my main character cheated with a bit of help from a friend;
🎶the Galician troubadour is beginning to be fairly important, and I don't think anyone will mind.

I had to turn private a #Patreon post on Aphra Behn because these two paintings have been reported as explicit sexual content.
François Boucher would probably have been thrilled. I'm not so sure about Francesco Scaramuzza.
Devils in disguise play a central role in the weird, quirky XIX Century "Ingoldsby Legends". One of the most famous scenes features a grand 'pas de deux' between the Dame of the House and 'that Nick'.
«See! He grasps it with horrid black claws».

Today's writing progress:
🪞 shifted backwards the scene in which the poet gives her mirror to my main character, which means they're much more complicit when they get ashore in Madeira;
🎼the lute made the poet melancholic for a long-lost friend.

@elanorbanks Awwww, welcome to the club. The Winter Story is definitely my favourite, but I think today's a good day to re-read the Sea Story.

Undervalued for Centuries as a writer, Aphra Behn is not only a feminist icon but her works are an exquisite example of sapphic poetry. She's today's profile on my new Patreon. Free, of course. 💜😉🏳️🌈
