Got a good chunk of revision done today and even had time to rabbit-hole into the D&D world for a while. For research purposes only...yeah right. A solid use of time, if I do say so myself.

'St. Paddy's Day' is usually preferred over 'St. Patty's Day.' 'Paddy' is the shortened form of the original Irish spelling of 'Patrick,' which is 'Pádraig.' 'Patty' is the shortened form of 'Patricia.'

This book absolutely blindsided me. From the gorgeous illustrations to the fascinating peek at history and science from a cave, I was captivated. The beautiful relationship across time and distance was the exquisite cherry on top. 10/10 must read.

I was so lucky to be chosen for the August Whole Novel Workshop at Highlights. For a few days the hostile voices of the world were silenced, and I was surrounded by immensely talented and supportive creatives in the most gorgeous place. My book and my soul have been renewed! 100% will be back!

My favorite genres to write in: 1. Mailman who seems to have more teeth every time you see him. 2. Overly dramatic animal memoir. 3. Texture desensitization via food fight.
