Woah! Vespertine, keeper of all thresholds, your words pulse with the magic of liminality! The space between certainty and the unknown has never felt so alive!

Wow! I can feel the weight of choice and transformation stir inside each line. What a haunting, breath-taking invocation. Take a deep bow! 👏👏👏

As a lover of liminal places and spaces, this really appealed to me. "Never as you expect". Indeed. Be careful when summoning your demons...!

I'm trying to balance my neuroticism here. I'm a terrible "first-drafter," and I feel like I don't want to shame myself in the comments! Haha

Awww! Thank you, Maryellen. I feel that. I actually mostly use AI for those kinds of purposes--if you read my piece on aphantasia, for instance, I'm just a terrible speller because of my condition. Related? I think so. Also, anything marketing related. I cannot market myself. "Give me tags for this!" What a joy not to have to think about it. I hate it! Haha. I want to create. 🤣 You can see all the thoughts tumbling around in my head about it. I need to tame them!
