In this week’s Petey Sellers Secret Society, I popped in to share a cute misreading of a phrase, welding talk, strong women coming together, and nerding out about some favorite new art exhibits. Art gives us heart!

In this month's Petey Sellers Secret Society, we talk about ghosts and witches, changing seasons and epic Halloween costumes, and stirring the cauldron. Petey popped in with a cute message, who am I to say no? :)

Look! LOOOOK! You've pre-ordered this gorgeous thing, right?
Looking through this final cover art and the contributor list to 1000 WORDS is INCREDIBLE. Blessed to have these amazing artists in this book. (And thanks to JACQ FRANÇOI$ for the illustration.)

Day 6, #Mini1000, 1,546 words, the collective us! A thing that exists. I've been all over the place this week, but this morning I went back to the current book and felt the glorious exhale of landing, of coming home. Thanks for the week @jamiattenberg.bsky.social! Love this community.

Day 4, #mini1000, a notebook, and a special guest! 1,454 words, getting stuck, then a letter from one character to another that was more like a portal. Thanks, Petey!
