Two weeks until my book releases! If you have been considering pre-ordering it but haven’t had the chance yet, I’d be so grateful if you did so soon! Pre-orders are apparently quite important for a book’s success so it would mean the world to me. ❤️

Important question: Will the actor playing Young Aragorn in the Gollum movie also break his toe whilst kicking a helmet?

if you ever feel like you’re failing as a parent, just remember, it could be worse (you could be Fëanor).

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?

Happy birthday JRR Tolkien! On this day, January 3 of 1892, the author of The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit was born!
I am so thankful for his lifelong devotion to storytelling and world-building, and I am inspired everyday to pursue beauty, goodness, and truth because of him.
