It was thin and aluminum, and what it most resembled was an encircled five-starred sheriff\u2019s badge. One side displayed a crown. The flip side revealed a horseshoe surrounded by the words GOOD LUCK. According to Google, these types of tokens were used in vending machines or parking lots in the eighties. Despite my best efforts, I never figured out where this one originated, but it\u2019s been in my wallet for thirty years. Now silvery-white and polished smooth, it\u2019s cool to the touch. Yet, when I curl my fingers around it, warmth radiates up my arm into my chest and my breath slows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Excerpted from my latest essay &#8220;Talisman&#8221; published by award-winning literary magazine 805 Lit + Art. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.805lit.org\/10-1-cnf-margaret-lynch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Now available online<\/a> if you want to read more about superstition, prophecy and good luck charms.<\/p>\n<p>I started writing this essay in 2019. At that point, it was mostly a laundry list of superstitions, without much context. Since then, I&#8217;ve read dozens of braided essays which inspired me to try and find another way to tell my story. Earlier this year, I workshopped a draft with my long-time writing group. They thought the piece was good and made some suggestions, encouraging me to keep going. Around the same time, I responded to a submission call from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.805lit.org\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">805 Lit + Art magazine<\/a> with the revised essay. Turns out it was the right essay at the right time. The litmag editorial team has been terrific, very professional and good communicators. A great experience all around.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mmlynchwriter.com\/index.php\/blog\/\"><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Back to Complete List of Blog Posts:<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1081,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[10,23,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-publication","category-survivor","category-writer"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MM Lynch Writer &#8211; 805 Lit + Art essay: Talisman<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Talisman: It\u2019s cool to the touch.
