Cozy Candlemas Writing Vlog: Planning My Author Year With Tarot

My, oh my, I can hardly believe we are nearing the end of February already! 

With the exception of the five days you see in this vlog, 2026 has been incredibly busy thus far. I have been working hard, scrambling to get everything together for both the rerelease of IV: Aurora and Luna, as well as finishing the first draft of V: The Solar Queen, and working on a secret projectwhich, if all goes according to plan, should come out later this year! Alongside this, Ghost of a Girl has not only been writing the next album, but we’ve also gone into the studio to record an EP of cover songs.

The rest I take in this vlog was very much needed! As I go forward in the year, I intend on pacing myself a bit more wisely. I love creating! But I also need to remember to take care of my healthphysically, but also mentally and spiritually. Working hard is important, but so is taking care of the artist. If you take care of the artist, the art will come—that is the motto I am learning to live by!

This vlog is long, and believe it or not, it was even longer before I did my final edit! I posted the outtakes to the Lunar Coven. (Join us today on Patreon or on Substack!) I am working on editing my vlogs down more, as it’s a good skill, and I think it will help the success of my YouTube channel going forward.

I hope you’ve been getting through Winter alright. Remember, Spring is just around the corner! (Unless you’re in the Southern Hemisphere—in which case, I am jealous, as you are about to head into Autumn, my favourite season!)

Sincerely,

MD Luna

AI vs. Craftsmanship

Hello! Pardon my absence! I have missed showing up online. That said, I have been absent for a very good reason—and that very good reason is the fact that I have doubled my writing and have been logging not 5000 words each week towards V: The Solar Queen, but 10,000. As a writer who both currently works a day job and has multiple creative projects in the works, 10,000 words is a lot to draft each week. Because of this, YouTube has not been a priority this January. I miss vlogging and creating videos, but this has been the right thing for me at this time.

I do plan filming a fun vlog the first week of February, but for now enjoy this ramble on AI vs. craftsmanship (I’m sure you already know what my opinion is!) paired with some footage of me drawing Winter Comes to the Greenlandian Forest, a soundscape I created back in December.

I look forward to talking with you in the upcoming vlog. Until then, be sure take care of yourself and stay cozy!

Sincerely,

MD Luna
