Inspiration
Ever wonder how a writer gets inspired?
On a historic house tour, the last room was a bedroom where a famous American general was birthed in 1807. A nursery was connected. A placard casually dangled off the nursery rope barrier——like “oh by the way” there are apotropaic or witches’ marks on the floor. No further information, reasons or research. Nothing.
When I headed out, the attendant asked if I had questions. Oh yeah…I had questions. After some chit chat, she marched me back up, pulled back rope and allowed me to examine the eighteenth century floorboard that has around 5 witch marks in a row. She said they had faded a lot since her tenure there. 😞
And thus commences my next rabbit hole dive. Stay tuned.
