Listen "Speaking Success Into Existence (Plus Actual Magic)"
Episode Synopsis
Big news drops in this episode: Krisserin has an agent! After manuscript consultations with longtime friend Kima Jones from Triangle House Literary, what started as friendly feedback sessions turned into official representation. Krisserin shares the whirlwind week from reading her book aloud to receiving editorial notes and submission timelines—all organized with Virgo precision.But this episode isn't just about celebrating—it's about the magic that got them here. Kelton and Krisserin dive deep into the role of ritual, intuition, and intentional practices in their writing lives. From Krisserin's elaborate morning routine (three beverages, garage sanctuary, two-hour focus blocks) to Kelton's tarot-guided newsletter writing, they explore how creating sacred space around creativity actually works.The conversation touches on everything from Bulgarian evil eye protection and coffee ground readings to the difference between prophecy and intuition. They discuss why "magic" as a concept might feel inaccessible to some, but argue that writers are already believers—we create worlds from nothing, after all.Most importantly, they tackle the power of speaking your dreams into existence. No more treating book deals like lottery tickets or apologizing for wanting to make money from their art. As Krisserin puts it: "We're gonna make money from our writing... we gotta dream big here, you know?"Whether you're skeptical about tarot or already burning sage, this episode offers practical wisdom about creating rituals that support your creative practice and the importance of believing in your work enough to make it real.Plus!
