When you reach the end of another chapter and read back what you wrote and can't help but feel scared because all the stuff that was in there were the things that terrified you when you were a kid....Congrats, Ika, you have a talent for traumatizing fictional children 😂

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting??
These two were - Any bets on who the winner is? :D

I would like to introduce my second supurrvisor and editor, Chewy. She has decided to respond to her name with "challenge accepted!" and chews EVERYthing (I've had to cat-proof the house). She's a homicidal floof muffin with a smooth brain and zero self-preservation instincts. #cat #cats

Mochi has always insisted on holding my hand when we’re watching a show together. He has been doing it since he was a wee little chonk 🥰 #cat #cats #kitten #kittens

What are you all reading? I've just started Witch King by Martha Wells. It's pretty good! #read #tobereadlist #reader #book #books

Hi, my name is Ika. I'm 40 years old, and I'm now in my 20th year + 8th attempt of trying to finish and publish my novel 😂 These days, it's more about the enjoyment of crafting the story than publishing. Writing brings me into such a fun, flow/zen state that I can't feel doing anything else. But...
