About LK Nesse

Let's get this out of the way...I'm weird. 

I met the Lake Monster during the celebration of my fifth birthday, and we have been close friends for many years. I enjoy talking to plants, teaching myself to play musical instruments such as piano and ukulele, crocheting and knitting, and explaining stellar nucleosynthesis to small children. 

Sometimes I'm folding 1,000 paper cranes in eight months. Sometimes I've got my hands in mud because making dorodango is soothing. I get excited about growing tomatoes. I may study the Welsh language for two or three years, then switch to Klingon one day. I have a Resting Friend Face and absolutely do not want to talk to strangers in public places. I'll share pictures of what I'm making in my weirdbook (sketchbook/art journal) online, though.

Divination has been a passionate interest of mine for over twenty years. I'm open for clients with tarot, tarot with oracle cards, and dice divination readings. I'm familiar with other forms of divination, and regularly practice a few for myself and people I personally know, but I'm not as confident in explaining those readings as I am with the forms I offer for clients.

I decided it was time to keep a promise I made as a much younger version of myself and started self-publishing my writing. One of my books is about dice divination! You can buy my written work as epub or pdf here or here. 

I've come too close to being on the other side of that Life and Death Gate a few times. I know trauma so well that she sends me Xmas cards. Our world is still beautiful, and I truly believe we are blessed to live with every plant, animal, insect, and fungus. Many people think the bear is my favorite animal, but it's actually the underdog.

Art Grimoire is available now!

Image
I wandered off from working on the big story I'm writing for a while. There are elements of the story that make me sometimes need to take a break, and there's been a lot of research. As a fun side project, I created a solo journaling game/art journal of sorts.  (cover of Art Grimoire by LK Nesse) Art Grimoire is available  on itchio  and  through my ko-fi . It's the same price, and available as an epub and pdf in both places.  If you aren't familiar with a solo rpg, it's essentially a tabletop roleplaying game that you don't need a group for because the game is designed for one player and no need for a game master. You need a sketchbook, d6 and d20, and a deck of playing cards (no Jokers) for Art Grimoire. You'll probably want at least a few sheets of extra paper for tracking sanity (I'll explain that in a minute) and maybe working out a few rough ideas before they go in the sketchbook. Excuse me, I mean the grimoire . The game guides you thr...

Forest Tales

Image
I was getting ready to write about what I've been playing with recently when it comes to poetry, when I realized I'll have to do that some other time because I still haven't posted about Forest Tales !  (Cover of Forest Tales  by LK Nesse. A tunnel through a forest formed by trees. The title is in letters that have simple shapes with just a touch of fairy tale flair.) Super short summary: Six short stories that give glimpses of daily life in an enchanted forest. You can get it  here  or through  my ko-fi   in both epub and pdf formats. Summary too short? I'm happy to tell you more! I started writing these stories just for the sake of writing them, sharing them on a Substack I closed earlier this year. There was no planning or schedule for it. I think I only wrote three before I shut things down over there, and it took well over a year for me to do even that. Editing what I already had and adding to it was one of the first things I thought of whe...

Playing With Poetry

I said I was going to share some of my recent experiences with poetry, didn't I? Things keep getting away from me because the big writing project I'm working on has gotten over some obstacles and is now flowing ! I can't know if it will flow like this until it's finished (at least for the first draft), or if I'll come to another stretch of obstacles. With this blog being a side thing that I do for myself more than anything, sharing poetry hasn't been at the top of my priority list. I don't forget, either. That's why we're here.  I love poetry! I read Shel Silverstein poetry collections over and over as a kid. Some of his poems reveal more layers when I read them again as and adult. As I got older, the list of poets I read grew. Edna St. Vincent Millay, Maya Angelou, e e cummings, Langston Hughes, Robert Frost... I was introduced to a lot of poets' work by school assignments, but I continued reading long after the assignments were done because I e...
