Today marks the 20th anniversary 🫣 of publishing of HIS MAJESTY’S DRAGON! Thank you so much to everyone who’s been on this incredible journey with me. I’ve loved writing all the books that have followed since, but a little dragon hatchling & his reluctant British naval officer started it all.

Naomi Novik @naominovik.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

And of course, when not writing FOLLY, revising FOLLY, or gathering inspiration for FOLLY - the only thing that remains is to toss crisps to coatis. He's definitely going into the book.

Naomi Novik @naominovik.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Lest you think my breaks from writing are exclusively spent befriending mischievous coatis! I’ve also been on a mission continuing to gather inspiration for FOLLY (my next major project); Contemplating gods and glyphs and how we create structures.

Nearly all of you guessed it! My new FOLLY-writing friend is a coati. Are you wondering why he is gesturing so beseechingly? In my newly acquired coati fluency, I heard him say he really, really wants to play TEMERAIRE: THE ROLEPLAYING GAME with his friends.

Naomi Novik @naominovik.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Progress on FOLLY continues! Between mad bouts of banging out words, I have been gathering inspiration: pondering the making of walls, discovering ceiba fiber, and making a delightful new friend, who is very much going in the book. Can you guess what he is?
