I have a lot of editing to do tonight, and I'm hoping the extra tea capacity in this cool new mug helps!

digital illustration by Abigail Larson depicting a princess in red seated with a dragon's head resting on her lap. The dragon is pale and has curled his wings around her. There are scattered treasure chests in the dragon's lair, and the opening of the cave shows a grassy plain in the distance.

A little late for #DragonAppreciationDay 🖤

I just found out that it’s Dragon Appreciation Day, so I had to pull together a stack quick as flame. I love dragons (I mean, who doesn’t?) & whether they’re being ridden, slain, studied, or swooned over, I’m eager to add their stories to my hoard. What are your favorite dragon books?

The "slow breathing to convince your body that you are not actually in physical danger" thing actually kinda works, y'all.

This is such a mood 😂

As an author, I am constantly pushing myself to grow. Even when it comes to something I am uncomfortable with.

Sometimes I feel like giving up on the whole writing thing. Then I get email from a reader that makes my heart burst open and reminds me why I write.

I have a very curated home environment to the point that I have questioned if I'm actually (really) disabled because clearly I'm doing Fine.

Then I was called to jury duty which isn't even in a strange building, I was simply forced to interact and I had a meltdown in 20 minutes or less.

I promise you, once you free yourself from the notion that other writers are your competition and start viewing them as your fellow weirdos who share similar special interests as you, your life in publishing will become so much easier.

You are loved 🏳️‍⚧️

We should never forget David Lynch’s own words about this

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚

Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

I pick artists out by style and content first. If I want a dragon the artist needs dragons in their portfolio. (As the artist, put things in your portfolio that you want to draw more of)

I then contact with my project specs asking for price/timeline/contract.

Well done!

Would love to be added to this list! 💜

I'd love to be added, please 💜
