The five days off with family (which also included a lot of house work) has made me turn into a slug and I don’t want to do anything today. 🀣 But I’ll probably open my laptop and do some revising on my current WIP soon.

This #CyberMonday, instead of throwing money at people like Bezos, support small creators online.

I managed to do some manuscript revisions today and start sketches for a painting I’m gifting someone. I should probably think about a piece for next week. When I’ll get it done…? Not sure! πŸ˜†

The only person getting this job is someone whose well-off parents are still supporting them at home. There’s no way this would work otherwise.

Yeah, it’s a lot of #KidLit folks she interviews, but not always, so it’s a nice mix. I love Nancy and have been listening to her podcast for a while. Also, I’m the next guest on the episode coming out next week. Eep!! I hope I don’t sound too silly. LOL. #kidlitart

A4: I’ve been using the Finch app. I have tasks on there that are to say things I’m thankful for that day and such. I find it helps me think about being thankful more.

Alt: My Creative Life podcast with @nmillerillo.bsky.social is a nice way to remind me of awesome artists around me #kidlitart
