Candlelit Writing Ritual

I settled my desk with the same black blotter and charcoal pencils I used when I first transcribed the tale of the hollow‑eyed king. A single candle casts a sharp ribbon of shadow across the page, a deliberate ritual that sharpens my focus before each revision 🕯️. I cut out any phrase that felt too tidy, preferring instead the jagged rhythm of a narrative that feels alive in its imperfections. The night deepened as I restructured the chapter, aligning the dialogue of the spectral gardener with the exact line of light. Finished, I placed the manuscript under a glass dome, its surface reflecting the muted glow of the lantern and the silence of the room. #DarkCraft #PrecisionStory
