When I fail… I fail hard. I’m usually pretty good at crochet, but there was no saving Rudolph.

author interview with @ashleyhuygewrites.bsky.social is live on the (s)crawl blog ✍️ scrawlmag.com/blog/intervi... learn more about the inspiration behind her piece “Glass Girl", as well as the insidious nature of depression and its lasting effects within families.

"There is no easy cure for depression. It feels like an experiment, trying to balance eating right, and exercising, and getting 8 hours of sleep, and sunshine, and journaling, and medicine. It's frustrating and scary exploring what works, or doesn't work. I wondered how far someone would go, what would they risk to try and feel like themselves again?"

Oh, hello, new WIP. I’ve learned so much writing my first novel and querying. I’ve still got a few queries out there, and a couple agents reviewing requested pages, but I’m excited to keep writing.

I need to celebrate every little win and there’s more to celebrate when I break a big goal into smaller bits. I have 17 chapters to review and making a color-in tracker in Canva is one of my favorite ways to stay on task.

The Bandit Queens by @parinishroff has been the perfect read for me. I really needed an empowering, imperfect, and strong cast of women fighting injustice using the few resources they had available. Geeta not fighting the rumors about her murdered husband are the epitome of “Let them.”

Clockwise pictures: Two chess pieces breaking, several hands weaving strings, a moth on fire, a woman holding a dagger to her chest, a floating book with sparks, a mirror with someone trapped inside, a man looking down on a woman, a castle up on a hill, a pair of hands with a brain and heart dangling on strings, a figure gripping a man as his essence is stolen

The barista at Starbucks said, “You have beautiful eyes.” And I nervously blurted out, “Thank you! I grew them myself!” So, yeah. I’m very smooth.
