You guys! My last beta reader finished the book, so I finally read through all the beta comments.
Yes, I have work to do, but my path forward is clear and will 💯 improve the story. Moreover, I feel excited to tackle the changes and improvements, so this is a big win for me. 🥳🥰

You guys, I was tonight-years-old when I discovered A Wrinkle in Time is the first in a series.
Book 1 of 5. F.I.V.E.
I read that book until it disintegrated. I *still* have the replacement copy.
Which obs leaves me deep in a G&T, ordering books 2-5, and questioning many of my life choices. 😭💔📚

💯. How can you use your art to join the fight?
I wrote an open letter to my fellow book ppl because no one is coming to save us.
We have to save us.
And I am weary of waiting for my colleagues to join the fight. Any fight. I chose book bans, but you don't have to

An Open Letter to My Fellow Book Creators — Pretty Ok Maggie
Inside me there are two wolves: the one that understands that the best activism happens behind closed doors and that everyone does what they can and that not everyone can be asked to do the same thing...

There are tiny Easter eggs and creatures randomly hidden around Norwescon. I’m lowkey sure this is how side quests start.
If I disappear, tell Thistle (my TBR monster) he can have my bookmarks.

My TBR pile has officially gained sentience. It growls when I walk by, rearranges itself at night, and insists on being called Thistle. Don't ask me why. 🤷
I've barely begun packing for Norwescon, and Thistle is already sulking about the possibility of new arrivals.

Rereading Ishiguro's The Buried Giant, because why meet new characters when the old ones haunt your heart and live rent-free in your brain? 😁📚

Habitat! For the last few years, I've had tree frogs move into the greenhouse and plant themselves between my seedlings. For scale, these are 2" cells in six-pack pots. 😍🐸

Absolutely me. I grew up gloriously unsupervised, fueled by library books, sarcasm, and hose water.
Still a little wild. Still reading past bedtime. Still here.

Happy April Fools’ Day to the writers who *think* they’re in control of their stories and characters.
For the rest of us: tears, snacks, and winging it = peak self-care. 🥲📚✍️

All my beta readers but one have finished my manuscript.
The exception is my husband, who hasn't started. He says he’s “waiting for the right mood.”
I respect that. I also need his notes to finish revising, so if the mood could hurry up, that’d be great. 🧐⌛️

😍 A letter cloud.
Today, I'm excited to go on a date with my husband to location scout for my WIP. It will be romantic as long as he ignores me muttering things like, “This is where the body goes” and “Perfect spot for a magical meltdown” or "How do I describe the odor in this alley?" 😆

I write fantasy. I read fantasy. 85% of my brain is fantasy.🪄🐉🧙♀️
But every now and then, I pick up a book with no magic, no goblins, no dragons, no nothing. And somehow, it’s still good.
Baffling. 😆🤔
