Thanks for everyone who's bid on the #Creatives4Sudan auction so far. In amazing news, we're at 12k. We have TWO DAYS LEFT though. If everyone places lots of little bids, I think we could get to 15k easy. The money is going to Sudanese-run Emergency Response Rooms. 💗🇸🇩 app.galabid.com/creatives4su...

A good editor! I don't edit graphic novels (special skills required), but I've queried countless timelines and dates, not to mention researching stuff like, Do those flowers bloom at that time of year? These illustrations are just gorgous too! 💜 #AmEditing

Today on the blog, Ingrid's got some unsolicited advice for romance authors: find a reader who will tell you if your sex scenes are bad.
Terribly, Horribly, Honest Readers
As the team’s delicate flower and resident proper lady, I have been known to struggle with openly discussing matters that are of the “hanky panky” variety. I like euphemisms. This is something I’ve had to work on as a parent, because as most people know nowadays, you’re really supposed to call body parts by their actual names when you talk to kids for safety reasons.
