Bringing Ghosts to Life in Your Writing

Hey poets!

It’s spooky season! Say hello to your new source of inspiration: ghosts!

She teaches you how to create a ghost with intention, regardless of whether they are physical or psychological manifestations, and she reminds you that the spookiest ghosts may be where you least expect them.
