Thanks so much! Honestly I donโ€™t know whatโ€™s happening, but I wonโ€™t complain. ๐Ÿ˜

Thanks, me too! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Another story acceptance on the month makes 3!

Most of a week left, fingers crossed on what may still happen. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž

Wow, thatโ€™s impressive! Definitely more skillful than I could ever hope to be, but thatโ€™s what makes it so cool. Thanks!

There are more of us
than there are monstersโ€”
theyโ€™re loud
& all teeth,but their hearts
are just toys,echos
&emptiness,
nothing more
than shadows dancing
in the dark
of their own makingโ€”

there are more of us
than there are of them,
do not doubt it,
do not waiver,
do not give ground
at all

Urg, sorry you had to deal with that, that sucks! But good thing you got your rights back in the end.

She is impressive and terrifying at once.

Your publisher is a stick in the mud, we need real antics here! ๐Ÿ˜‚

We should really bring back marginalia in books. Just little characters getting up to antics barely related to the text.

I did it once out of laziness and now I just only do it but I know, I need to stop tooโ€ฆ

I try to catch/release spiders when I find them in my house but if I ran into one like that โ€ฆ not gonna lie, itโ€™d be the spiderโ€™s house after that.

Whoa, I was half right! ๐Ÿ‘€

I donโ€™t know tarantulas, but that sounds particularly big? Does she eat mice?

Iโ€™m gonna say either itโ€™s Sam, or you have a pet spider.

A pet spider named Sam?

Aww, sheโ€™s a cutie!

Misty! Aw, my cat growing up was named Misty, she was the best.

Donโ€™t tell the current cat I said that, though.

What a distinguished looking gentleman. And a great name!

Oof, thatโ€™s tough but relatable. But itโ€™s good to hear you found a way to enjoy the writingโ€”and hopefully will continue to, going forward!

Aww, precious little ink blot! That back foot is perfection.

Indeed, goofing and outdoors do not mix, especially in cats.

His name is Phil, or occasionally Philbill, so really I guess this GIF was doubly right. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Oh, thatโ€™s good to hear!

Those are totally normal times for screaming according to my cat.

This is the boy who went to the Cat Doctor and, when I asked if he might have a neurological problem for how much he falls off of stuff, was instead informally diagnosed with Clumsiness.

I know these sorts of people exist, but likeโ€ฆ who writes when they donโ€™t enjoy it?? Why are you doing it if you donโ€™t want to??
