Ohey! Did you know these exist in both physical and digital forms? And that you can get them at ko-fi.com/whimsyandmet...?

Did you also know that it's the last few days when you can get discounted bundles of The Ferryman's Apprentice books, via that same link?

Hi! Do you like stickers, reading, and/or discounts?

Good. Click my blog link. And go shower @juimon.bsky.social with praise for the cover art.

And did I mention stickers? They're adorable, done by Whispatchet (cara.app/whispatchet) who also deserves praise.

Do you like writing? Do you like videos? Do you like people talking about things they're doing?

Then come watch a video of me talking about writing while I do writing! Whimsy and Metaphor Write-Along Club starts on March 5th, 5pm AEST (tomorrow!), and you should come watch it!

Oh, very nice! Is it weird to say your handwriting is lovely and round-looking? Very friendly.

This is the nonsense I write to myself and the horrible mess I write it in.
