It has come to my attention that my countdown posts for Opus might be confusing. And you know what? Fair. If you don't know what I'm selling, you won't know what I'm selling from those countdowns.

So. Let me halp.

...Charlotte handles it very well when other people are ill, since she's a healer, but very poorly when SHE is ill, which is like a major thing in her POV chapters in THE LORD OF THE WOOD

bc she's newly physically disabled due to an illness and is frustrated about it
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

A bit under the weather tonight, apologies if I am slow to respond!

On a related note: how does your character deal with illness?

Are they stoic? Whiney? Immune to it altogether? Just drink a healing potion?

they loooooooooove talking about this government service in particular like a freaking for-profit business to try to get you to agree to privatize the postal system 🙄
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

don't mind me, just gonna keep sharing until I turn in my copy edits (and then probably bring back for proofs)
give me a number 9-459 and get a line from THE LORD OF THE WOOD

I'm doing line edits and I hunger for line shares

...Arthur and Ira met when Ira found Arthur asleep in his bed, threw him out of the house, and lowkey threatened him with being murdered by the forest
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Tell me a bit about the first time your character met someone important to them.

This could be a close friend, love interest, mentor, etc.

Did they like each other right away? Did they warm over time?

Also, I've been struggling to compile this, so if you work at an indie bookstore that will take books direct from authors/any distributor that isn't Ingram or the Big 5, can you please let me know below?

I have a small list but would love more!
