Thanks! I started in 7th grade when a friend taught me the first 20 digits. I've been memorizing on and off ever since. I did reach a stopping point several years ago: In the center of the circle, you will see a "999999", and I figured it would be anticlimactic after that.

The best part for me was getting to watch the whole thing in progress! (That's me on the left, trying not to peek too often.)
Encoded within those beautiful lines is the entirety of @debbieohi.com's marvelous and densely informative promotion workshop! #scbwi #kidlitart #scbwiNY25

Amsterdam, though I am fond of my basement studio in Chicago. Got any leads on a used teleporter for sale?

Thanks, Shelley, I'm having fun here already! Here's hoping bluesky lasts!

To recreate that feeling I had as a child (and still do) of full immersion in a fantastic world.

A two-cat lap is an especially auspicious omen. Great chatting with you at #scbwiNY25.

Kara, thank you for being my friend, critique partner, and roommate at #scbwiNY25. You helped make an amazing experience even better.

You're most welcome! Thanks for cluing me in to @danacarey.bsky.social. And, thank you for your incredible creative lab, Marketing Boot Camp For Busy Illustrators: Promoting Your Art and Your Books Without Burnout. So much great info to chew on!

I don't have you speaking, but I did catch you laughing your head off with @thejerrybennett.com , @paulozelinsky.com , @teresarobeson.bsky.social , and one other doubtless-illustrious person whose name I don't know!

Likewise! I can't wait to see more of your illustrations!
