I started a blog substack.com/@svtworks , did some reflecting and there was much to be grateful for that led me to my kidlit journey and connected me with creatives (and of course books).
Also the blogging is an exercise to tell quick stories and have fun doodling. It's a catchall -after coffee.

Important story for those interested in Canadian journalism and issues around media and free expression... and for anyone who doesn't think people should be sued for accurately reporting words politicians say.
Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.
When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"
The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

An excellent article. Young teenage boys are incredibly underserved in the current publishing market an Nathanael Lessore’s books are incredibly important in filling that gap, and in allowing boys to see themselves and their lives represented in books in a realistic way.
"The discussions or reflections that books inspire can change lives for the better. I know because I’ve seen it."
Author Nathanael Lessore believes fiction can play a big role in supporting positive attitudes to boyhood and masculinity.
