Learning to Bleed comes out March 18th and artist @scherville.com is so deeply talented I can hardly believe it!
This book is the 2nd in a trilogy that explores queerness and trauma through vampire lore, all against the backdrop of an impoverished rural community that has its own monsters 👀

Since I haven't been able to buckle down on 75 hard/medium, I'm thinking about trying a shorter-term challenge instead.
Specifically, I'm eyeballing the #3Day30K challenge by AK Mulford.
Has anyone here tried that one before? Or do you have another one to recommend?

tbh 75 hard (even 75 medium) isn't happening for me right now. and that's okay. I'll try again when I have the mental space for it.
