Lit. Update: Agent Research and upcoming release

May 3rd, 2022
News on T.W.N.
Ena Whiteraven

Soon, I will begin my new research into literary agents, the submission process, and taking an in-depth look at a particular agency I will probably be submitting my first novel to.

A literary surprise will be released here on T.W.N. this month (fingers crossed). Further updates are forthcoming.

Lit. Update: Future Steps

January 25th, 2022

New literary update.

Ena Whiteraven

It feels good to finally have my poetry book released in some form. However, the work doesn’t stop there. Now I face the challenges of promoting it.

As I already knew, “self-publishing” requires you to fund most of the work yourself. It gets disheartening and a bit stressful, but it’s what I have to do for now. At least I’ve accomplished one of my major life goals and can continue to build on it. It’s wonderful to be able to look back on the progress I’ve made, not just in writing but in life.

Now comes the constant effort needed to balance these new parts of my daily life. Plus, I’m renewing my efforts to get a part-time job to support my financial needs. For those readers who are also hoping to publish their work in some form, I highly advise that you get and maintain a day job. Don’t…

Update: “Challenging Reality and Poetry Excerpts”

January 3rd, 2022
Happy New Year to everyone joining my on this journey! I hope you took the time to reconnect with family in whatever way possible, and that you maintain the bonds of love and friendship not only this year but into the future, as well.

I’m happy to announce that a new installment of the mini series “The Challenging Reality” will be going up next week here on S.D. I will also be posting a personal update sometime in the near future, along with more “Thought for the day” posts and the #weeklysmile. I encourage more people to join in on the Weekly Smile, too, as I think it’s a wonderful way to remind everyone that the world is what you make of it.

On my author site, I will begin posting a few excerpts from my new poetry book The Ocean’s Made For Swimming . There will also be some surprising updates there, too. So stay tuned! The next few months will be very interesting.

Finally, I hope you took the time to read up on the special post I shared from Illumination of Metatron about the “Christmas star”. While there are dark days ahead for the world, it’s up to us to decide whether or not we’re going to let that bring us down. It’s up to us to decide whether we are truly loyal to Heaven or not. I’ve made my choice, and I will stand by it. You are a beautiful soul. Don’t let them take your light away.

Excerpt (Poetry) : “There Is a Sweet Hereafter”

September 28th, 2021

Ena Whiteraven

It is what you make of it.

The images of mind.

It is the limits of your soul

In boundless space and time.

It is the darkness or the light.

The strangeness and the learning.

The opportunities you missed,

Distracted on the journey…

The hearts you healed, the hearts you broke.

The lightness and the weight.

The smaller beings you trample on,

Or who adorn your plate.

It is what you make of it,

The soul behind the laughter.

So bear in mind from time to time –

There is a sweet Hereafter.

Revised poem (excerpt). Complete version will appear in my new poetry book.

Blog Update, Content, and Future Surprise

August 2nd, 2021
Several new entries have been added to the Cruelty-Free Life page. For those who don’t know, this is the page where I post a list of companies I have personal experience with that make environmentally-friendly products that are vegan and cruelty-free. I’ve added an entry for affordable cleaning supplies and one for footwear, too!

Those who follow me on Instagram may have noticed that I have joined a movement supported by my mentor and best friend, Alura Cein, called #indoornomore . It’s a motivational project to get people outside to reconnect to nature, each other, and themselves. I’ve decided to bring a little of that here to S.D., as well. As the weather improves, everybody feels more inclined to get outside. So, I’m going to begin releasing a few short posts featuring images from my nature walks or even stories surrounding some of my favorite areas nearby. Some may also coincide with other topics such as hobbies or even writing updates. Let’s have fun and change things up a bit!

Updates have been posted to the page featuring Alura’s platforms, and my own page will see some revisions, as well, in the coming weeks. I have a surprise that will be announced in a few weeks, so keep an eye on T.W.N. this month!

Blog Update: “S.D. Plans for Spring!”

January 20th, 2021
This year will be seeing a lot more original content, and a few new additions. One is some posts that are also linked to content I’ve shared on other platforms. I have already begun that process in several recent blog posts that mentioned topics that have come up on Facebook and Instagram. Since I’m fairly active on Instagram, I didn’t see the need to share photos here, too. However, there are a few upcoming posts that call for personal imagery. This includes the new vegan cooking and family fun projects I will be sharing, so stay tuned for those!

As you can see, ratings have been added to all pages and posts. Feel free to take advantage of this new feature. You can also rate my poetry as it’s released on T.W.N. A new literary update on the novel is coming soon, as well. I will also be sharing more books from my shelves and the local library to encourage the Read a Real Book movement and encourage literacy in people of all ages.

Several new categories will also be added to Superlative Deviation. Most of them will be released closer to spring, but a few will make an earlier appearance. I’m not going to hint at what they are. You’ll just have to wait and see! All in all, I think we will have a very exciting and diverse blog for people to enjoy this year. I hope it inspires you to motivate yourself in the days ahead.

Many blessings to you all.

Literary Update! Novel and Poetry

December 17th, 2020
I’m happy to announce that the new draft of my first novel is half finished! I’m very pleased with how it’s shaping up and hope to be able to submit it to a new agent early next year.

Also, there might be some interesting changes made to my poetry in the next few months. Have no fear, though. T.W.N. will still be available.
