            <description><![CDATA[A Fresh Page (Roving with Rionna, January 2026) invites midnight writers into a cozy winter scene, introduces “From My Notebook,” and shares “Murder at Midnight,” a suspenseful story starter set in snowy Hollow Creek. Plus: a Writer’s Seasonal Wheel for drafting, revising, launching, and rest—along with a new private social app to try.]]></description>
            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<br><h1 id="h-where-im-writing-from" class="text-4xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Where I’m Writing From</h1><p>It’s late, very late. Which is not unexpected. I’m a long-standing member of the midnight writers club. At the edge of my desk, a candle burns warming the air with a glimmer of golden light. I can hear its small crackles and smell its calming cinnamon scent. Out my window and beyond into the dark night, small wintery snowflakes swirl. And I am sitting at my favorite writing desk, thinking of the new year. I am so excited for what 2026 holds. May light and happiness abound for us all!</p><br><h1 id="h-from-my-notebook" class="text-4xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">From My Notebook</h1><p>From My Notebook is a new addition to Roving with Rionna. I am forever writing snippets of stories and pieces of prose, so I thought I’d share them with you. Sometimes they evolve and become a new short story, poem, or novel, but mostly they are a bit of creativity yearning to be written. Feel free to use them as story starters for your next piece or simply enjoy.</p><br><h2 id="h-murder-at-midnight" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>“Murder at Midnight”</strong></h2><p><em>The winter moon shone gray and muted over the town of Hollow Creek. Candles flickered in windows, the solitary lights of the night. Silence and cold settled around the edges of the community, tucking it in beneath a layer of snow.&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>At the end of the first block was her little cottage. It huddled warm beneath a mighty fir tree with wide, strong branches, protecting her home from the winds of the North. Inside, she should have been resting quietly, reading a book, practicing her spells, enjoying the firelight, but she couldn’t sleep. She hadn’t been able to for the last week. She knew well enough to heed the internal warnings she was feeling. Something sinister was happening. She tried to look, but actually seeing the future was not her gift.&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>The uneasiness kept growing stronger with each passing hour. Not being able to take it any longer, she threw her warmest cloak about her shoulders and stepped off her porch and into the longest, darkest night of the year. Just as her boot made its first imprint into the feathery, soft, new-fallen snow, a piercing scream echoed through the streets.</em></p><p><em>Her breath caught in her throat, and she raced toward the fading sound.&nbsp;</em></p><br><h1 id="h-pass-it-on" class="text-4xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Pass It On</h1><p>If you know someone who is just starting out, someone who is new to writing or anyone who may enjoy <em>Roving with Rionna</em>, please feel free to share!</p><br><h1 id="h-craft-break" class="text-4xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Craft Break</h1><h3 id="h-writer-to-writer" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Writer-to-Writer</h3><p>As I look to the beginning of this year, I have many plans. I bet you do too! I thought I would try something new this year by focusing on the season of writing, a sort of Writer’s Seasonal Wheel. I’m going to try to apply the following process to my writing life:</p><ul><li><p><strong>January – March:</strong> Winter (draft + research)</p></li><li><p><strong>April – June:</strong> Spring (revise + beta)</p></li><li><p><strong>July – September:</strong> Summer (launch + visibility)</p></li><li><p><strong>October – December:</strong> Autumn (edit + systems + rest)</p></li></ul><p>I like this idea because I find myself continually inundated with amazing ideas, and thinking I can accomplish all of them, and like an octopus, I try without the success I had hoped for. I have found, though, that if I focus on one through to completion, then I can pick up the second much faster than if I try to do both at once. Does this happen to you too?</p><h3 id="h-try-this-xcrol" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Try This - Xcrol</h3><p>I was invited by a good friend of mine to try a new social platform this week called Xcrol. I immediately liked it. It seems to bring together much of what we all want without the items we don’t. It is a private social app that lets us decide what we share and who gets to see it. We sort people into simple friendship levels, so close friends see more and everyone else sees less. We can write one short daily note, and our feed stays chronological—and best of all no algorithms! Also, there are no ads and there never will be. This is great news! What a breath of fresh air!</p><h3 id="h-resource-link" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Resource Link</h3><p>If you’re interested in exploring this new community platform Xcrol (pronounced scroll), you are invited!

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As fall settles in and the air around us becomes a little chilly and a little crisp, I can't help but think ahead to the busy times waiting for us in the coming months. At Whitney Morgan Media, we've had an amazing year. As owner and CEO, I'm overwhelmed with the milestones we have reached. We are already scheduling publications out to 2027. How amazing is that! </p><p>If I think back to my small plans, my small dreams of owning my own publishing company, I just smile. Small, it never was. What I truly wanted was a place, a home for writers. A publishing house who put the dreams of the writers ahead of the bottom line. A company that says yes in a very big way! Cheers yes! Cries yes! Right along with our writers. I truly wanted Whitney Morgan Media to honor the writer, the illustrator, the actor, the musician, simply honor everyone who pours their heart into the work they are creating.  I am so proud and happy to say, <em>we have done this. We will keep doing it. </em></p><p>In honor of that success and in honor of the creators who have become our beloved authors, illustrators, actors, musicians, everyone, I am sharing a fall book giveaway:  <em>Celebrating Samhain: The Celtic Wheel of the Year Series</em> – <em>Book 1 by Rionna Morgan (me).</em><strong><em> </em></strong>I am hopeful that this giveaway will be one of many as we move forward in to 2026 and beyond! I'll share the details of the giveaway in a bit, but I wanted to take an extra second to say thank you to all of you.</p><p>Thank you for believing. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Thank you for your patience as I made every single decision with you in mind. Some days I feel like everything I have ever done has led to this moment. When I pause long enough to remember that once I was just a little Irish girl standing beneath the beams of a silver moon dreaming of my future, I am ever so grateful for you. Being able to be a calming voice in the confusion, an advocate in the chaos, a kindness in the darkness is my most ardent dream come true. And I believe with all my heart that your voice, our voice, your stories, our stories are just what the world needs. I am so excited and so honored to help you build and protect your literary legacy.</p><p>Blessed be to you and yours, Rionna</p><br><p>If you're interested in a gift from me and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://whitneymorganmedia.com">Whitney Morgan Media</a>, here are the details:</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/c974f21e7a8ec9e99e2ac8c5eec027f8d7e2b45c17caf5bd28afaeab72148921.png" blurdataurl="data:image/png;base64,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" nextheight="1237" nextwidth="2200" class="image-node embed"><figcaption htmlattributes="[object Object]" class="">The Whitney Morgan Media Fall Giveaway: Celebrating Samhain: The Celtic Wheel of the Year Series – Book 1</figcaption></figure><br><h1 style="text-align: center" id="h-author-giveaway" class="text-4xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>AUTHOR GIVEAWAY</strong></h1><p><strong>Celebrate the magic of fall with Whitney Morgan Media!

Social media, online forums, and comment sections can become battlegrounds where taunts and criticisms from external voices magnify doubts and insecurities. All of this gives power to our inner critic!</p><p style="text-align: start">I’m Rionna Morgan, an author, speaker, and writer advocate here in the digital age. I find myself falling victim to internal doubts, insecurities, and that dreaded inner critic, too. To combat those negatives, I’ve created a battle plan of sorts, armed myself with a sword and shield, ever-ready to ward off those negative jabs. I want to share my approach with you in the hopes that these tips and strategies may help you in your battle.</p><h4 style="text-align: start"><strong>Navigating Digital Feedback and Comparison</strong></h4><p style="text-align: start">The internet provides a platform for instant feedback and endless opportunities for comparison. Seeing others' highlight reels, accolades, and successes can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. The key is to navigate digital feedback constructively and avoid the pitfalls of comparison:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Selective Engagement</strong>: Not all online spaces are conducive to positive engagement. Choose communities that foster support and constructive feedback and limit exposure to toxic environments.</p></li><li><p><strong>Contextualizing Feedback</strong>: Online feedback can range from insightful to baseless. Learn to discern and contextualize feedback, separating useful critiques from unhelpful negativity.</p></li><li><p><strong>Comparison Awareness</strong>: Recognize when comparison is serving as a motivator and when it's undermining your confidence. Remind yourself that every writer's journey is unique, and online personas often represent curated success stories, not the full picture.</p></li></ol><h4 style="text-align: start"><strong>Digital Detox and Mindful Consumption</strong></h4><p style="text-align: start">The constant bombardment of information and opinions online can overwhelm and fuel the Inner Critic. Implementing digital detox periods and being mindful of digital consumption can help quiet external noise:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Scheduled Detox</strong>: Regularly schedule time away from digital devices and platforms to reconnect with your own thoughts and the physical world around you.</p></li><li><p><strong>Mindful Consumption</strong>: Be intentional about the content you consume online. Follow accounts and join groups that inspire and uplift you, rather than those that feed into self-doubt.</p></li></ol><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/2c567fc18e07fbc21f638bd1bbfd41f0.jpg" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/png;base64,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" nextheight="1024" nextwidth="1024" class="image-node embed"><h4 style="text-align: start"><strong>Leveraging Technology for Positive Affirmation</strong></h4><p style="text-align: start">While the digital age presents new challenges, it also offers tools to combat the Inner Critic:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Online Support Groups</strong>: Join writer-focused online communities that offer encouragement, share success stories, and provide a platform for discussing challenges and solutions.</p></li><li><p><strong>Digital Wins Journal</strong>: Utilize digital platforms to maintain a 'wins' journal, documenting positive feedback, milestones, and moments of pride.

I feel like we, collectively as writers, at one point or another have had the similar aspiration — become a published author who gets to connect with our readers, share our stories, our truth, and can pay our bills while doing it. This has been our dream.</p><p style="text-align: start">It also seems impossible these days to go anywhere on the internet and not hear about Web2 this and Web3 that. I, like most of us, brushed it aside as something that didn’t concern me. I’m not a computer programming guru; I’m not particularly tech savvy. I am a novelist who feels happy when my characters cooperate.</p><p style="text-align: start">However, because I am a writer, who likes to keep up with things publishing related, I began to pay attention and see things that piqued my interest. I began to ask questions. What is Web2 anyway? What is Web3 and can it help writers? Can it give us another choice in publishing? Can it help us ensure that the legacy of our writing, the world’s literature, is present in the future? Let me tell you, I am so glad that I went in search of these answers. What I learned changed my trajectory as a writer.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/f34f39871385f8a05b2c23c9a2ef4e19.png" blurdataurl="data:image/png;base64,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" nextheight="1485" nextwidth="1485" class="image-node embed"><figcaption htmlattributes="[object Object]" class="">Artwork created by the author using NightCafe</figcaption></figure><h1 style="text-align: start"><strong>What is Web2?</strong></h1><p style="text-align: start">As writers, Web2 is where we are now.

Reading this is a great small step. Because everyone makes the same journey in a different way, my transition to Web3 has happened slowly. I started exploring Web3 writers — most of them, as of the writing of this article, are on Twitter. I followed those who resonated with me and my goals. Every person I talked to was amazing and helped in some way. I haven’t met anyone who won’t give advice or help navigate this new world.</p><p style="text-align: start">The transition to Web3 doesn’t have to be an all or nothing transition — you can keep your current work — market like you have been, interact like you have been in Web2 — while you’re investigating becoming a Web3 author.</p><p style="text-align: start">The good news is — is that you already have the skills necessary to be a writer in Web3. Your social presence is already in place and you’re a writer, so you can write like mad until you’re ready for bigger steps.</p><h3><strong>Bigger Steps</strong></h3><p>If you’re ready and excited to jump in with both feet and take bigger steps, I can help you with that too. My first big step was joining publishing Discords and having conversations with other writers, learning all the while how each “publishing house” worked.</p><p>What I learned is that publishers in Web3 are a growing and dynamic industry. They each have facets that are appealing and worthy of research. They each have growing communities of writers, readers, artists, developers, and promoters. (I have put together a list of publishers accessible through my <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://linktr.ee/rionnamorgan">Linktree</a>. Please feel free to visit. While you’re there, add your name to the Web3 writers list too, so I can follow you and support you.)</p><p>The next big step I took was getting involved with Web3 writers and publishers. I am one of the co-hosts of The PageDAO Show every Monday on Twitter Spaces. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://discord.gg/YMGyDZrGcz">PageDAO</a> is a Web3 publisher and hub for writers entering the Web3 Space. I even started my own Roving with Rionna show where creatives of the space come together to discuss their creative journey and connect with others on the same path.</p><p>Simultaneously, I have started publishing my own work in Web3. In a few short months, I have been a writer for Vagabond Magazine, a brilliant, creative literary magazine and lifestyle magazine published in Web3. I have published a flash fiction piece as part of a multi-author anthology. I am set to sign two contracts for two separate manuscripts to be published in Web3. (One contract has my writer revenue set at 85%.) I am currently collaborating with artists to create a literary piece to be published in Web3. I plan to resurrect some fun newsletter and blog post content and publish that in Web3. See why I am so excited I can hardly sleep!</p><p>Just like with all new things, there will be a learning curve when it comes to the processes of publishing in Web3. However, learning this new skill is nowhere near as trying as writing the dreaded elevator pitch. Plus, those amazing people I talked about earlier, they will help you. I will help you, just send me a DM and reference this article.</p><hr><p>The transition to Web3 as a writer is definitely a work in action! There are so many opportunities — so many new facets to explore. Every day, I meet someone new, and I am blown away by the idea for their work in progress. I am thrilled to hear about who they are collaborating with, what piece they want to publish first and next, and how they intend to connect directly with readers. Amazing!</p><p>Web3 can help writers. It does give us another choice in publishing. It can even ensure that the legacy of our writing, the world’s literature, is present in the future.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/bcc073a97c5874669a21a9ecbad49712.png" blurdataurl="data:image/png;base64,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" nextheight="1485" nextwidth="1485" class="image-node embed"><figcaption htmlattributes="[object Object]" class="">Artwork created by the author using NightCafe</figcaption></figure><p></p><p><em>Article was first published by author in PageDAO Magazine on </em><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://medium.com/pagedao-magazine/from-web2-to-web3-for-writers-a66a2d145b0c"><em>Medium</em></a></p>]]></content:encoded>

Whitney Morgan Media is up and running, even without a website and has published its <em>first </em>book: <em>Celebrating Samhain</em>. I'm ecstatic to introduce my latest work, the first installment of <em>The Celtic Wheel of the Year Series</em>. It's a juvenile fiction book centered around the ancient celebration of Halloween—Samhain.  Twins, Croia and Ronan, guided by their beloved Irish grandmother, in their new blended family are introduced to Samhain's ancient traditions, where stories, rituals, and cherished memories come together, as the family honors the past, revealing that Halloween's spirit transcends mere costumes, carved pumpkins, and candy. Join a tale where history, family, and love intertwine, celebrating the true essence of Samhain.</p><div data-type="youtube" videoid="t2cWGH_9r1E">

Together we have created a powerful Collection in which there are seven different story editions, limited to 1,111 pieces of each edition. Through her flash fiction short stories, Rionna encapsulates the essence of the seven traditional story archetypes, weaving a tapestry of emotions that touch the heart and stir the imagination. Through their own individual style, talent, and passion each artist illustrates their story with beauty, dramatic colors, and elegant flair.</p><p><strong>Our Stories</strong></p><p>What sets The 7 Love Stories Collection apart is its focus on love as a fundamental human condition. It goes beyond the realms of romantic love, delving into the intricate connections we share with one another. These stories explore the profound love between parents and their children, the ties that bond siblings together, and the importance of self-love and acceptance.</p><p>Within the collection, readers and collectors will encounter love that is adventurous, taking them on exhilarating journeys through uncharted territories of the heart. They will discover love that is hopeful, offering solace and inspiration in times of darkness. They will witness love that is healing, mending broken souls and nurturing the wounded spirit. They will encounter love that is brave, defying all odds and empowering individuals to embrace their true selves.</p><p><strong>Our Art</strong></p><p>Readers and collectors will be able to immerse themselves in a beautiful experience, and they will be captivated by the vivid imagery created by our talented artists: Steph, KGKHArt, Megan, and Grace. The bespoke illustrations are stunning, incredibly meaningful, and honor the spirit of each individual story. The artists’ beautiful, striking brushstrokes bring to life the very soul of these stories, painting emotions on a canvas that transcends. Each collectible is a masterpiece in its own right, an art form that mirrors the depth and beauty of the narratives.</p><p><strong>Our Sound</strong></p><p>Each story of the collection is enriched with audio: the team offers an introduction, Rionna Morgan, the author reads each story, and the illustrators provide commentary on the art they created. Including audio as a facet of this Collection enhances the overall experience of it by engaging another sense, making the Collection more immersive and captivating. The impact of the art by, Steph, KGKHArt, Megan, and Grace, is intensified, adding depth and context, providing additional information and storytelling. By including audio, the collection becomes more accessible to all, ensuring inclusivity and a broader enjoyment. This makes each collectible a beautiful auditory and visual experience, a multi-dimensional connection that stays with the reader, leaving a touching and lasting impression.</p><p><strong>Our Mission</strong></p><p>At the heart of all of it is love. Love holds the power to inspire hope, touch lives, and build deep connections. Love, compassion, empathy, and the beauty of understanding are fundamental elements of humanity and the collective experience. Love transcends cultural, social, and linguistic barriers, connecting people from all walks of life in a meaningful way. The 7 Love Stories team and community strives to create a ripple effect of love, where the celebration of each other, for each other, with each other spreads from one heart to the next, where love is the action taken, where love is shared.</p><p><strong>Making Literary History</strong></p><p>The 7 Love Stories author, Rionna Morgan, and illustrators, Steph, KGKHArt, Megan, and Grace, together have already made literary history by creating a body of work where art, sound, and storytelling merge. The 7 Love Stories Collection provides an opportunity to own a piece of this historical literary treasure, to become a custodian of these stories, the emotions they evoke, and to join The 7 Love Stories community.</p><p>Please be invited to join this extraordinary voyage. May these words, sounds, and images ignite your imagination and touch your heart. The 7 Love Stories Team and Community is excited and honored to explore with you the boundless depths of love as a human condition and to share the universal language that connects us all.</p><p>The ripple effect of love has already begun. The 7 Love Stories mint was only the beginning.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img
