*Business months is a thing in publishing, I’ve decided. December, for example, is not a business month. Neither is August. Fridays basically do not exist.

They did? That’s good. It blindsided me when I watched the series and I think my soul left my body

Same. I’d just rebought them because they were the books that made me love epic fantasy, and then I found out, and it just makes me sick.

I’m truly sorry, Scott. That is so upsetting.

Anyway, I needed that laugh.

Progress, not perfection—but I just finished reading novel 12 today (so thirty novels ago) and let’s just say I improved significantly with practice.

Bob Ross is right! Talent is an interest pursued—anything you’re willing to practice, you can do. ✨

The maybe most hilarious thing about this book is that yes, I absolutely committed baby crimes against Welsh and Gaelic, but I also did a whole-arse conlang for the book??? I’d like to think I would have fixed the crimes and used the conlang, but I gave up and wrote something less terrible instead

I’d be embarrassed but I’m laughing at myself too hard

Okay, I can’t not post this gem. People get married a week after meeting and…

/ “Gur math a thèid leibh!" People cheered, shouting the blessing in the Old Tongue of their people. /

I know it’s been 25 years but I’m so so sorry ahahahahahahahahahaha. “Good luck” indeed 😮‍💨😂

Tha mi cho duilich 😂😭😂

Book basically starts with a “get up, babe, prophecy’s happening and we gotta walk five hundred miles about it”

Also shoutout at the nascent bodyguard soulmate romance here, bless baby!me

There’s so much “my lady”-ing going on in this mess hahahahaha

I literally ran out of classes to take in high school so they just shrugged and said my bestie and I could write fantasy novels in independent study. So we did just that, and our English teacher gave us lists of synonyms for “said”. Took a years to undo that damage 😅 (She meant well and was lovely)

Current me wants to go back and pelt baby!me with a squirt bottle for the crimes against both Gaelic and Welsh. I was hopped up on Stephen Lawhead at the time and literally just took names from lists. I’m howling.

I was such an ignorant wee thing but I got 140 pages into writing a book at least
