if you're new here, hey !
i'm rachael - i'm a multidisciplinary creative: writer, video-person and fictionalist city witch. the loves of my life are story, magick and coffee - whatever i'm making, it always involves at least one. a few years back i wrote a novel called State of Flux, and these days i go wherever my creativity takes me: narrative vlogs, courses & workshops, non-fic writing, spells, organisational systems and even a short film.
