"Mrs.Mills, is this water?"

This is why I'm tired.

Tiny started out as a joke but then I ended up having fun with it. Maybe I'm in my 80's flashback era?

Found my pandemic era journal/writing idea book. Wow. That was heavy.

@mrwolfcomics.bsky.social I feel seen with the separate blankets in this book!
Loving "Speechless"!

So no one told me there's a part in writing when you have all the plot figured out and you are just adding little character stuff and it's so fun and rewarding. You're just making little connections that run through the story.

I'm writing and I used the phrase "inched closer". What do they say in metric, centimetred closer?

I flew on an airplane for the first time in a decade and to combat my fears I drew this. Inspired by Greta, my bestie's dog who ate the salt water taffy I brought. Whole. With the wrappers.
I really want to go full 80's Boris Vallejo with this one.

In typical art teacher fashion I can't throw away pretty scrap paper. Brayer paper is one of my favorite textures ever!!

I know this is incredibly silly but the lighting and the way this table was constructed made it look like the crumbs were levitating.

How many times in a row is too many times to listen to "I Know the End" by Phoebe Bridgers?

Very important question. Which possum are you today?

This is the part of making books that isn't so glamorous. Writing, sketching, taking ideas and trusting them enough to put on hours and hours of work. This is why we need to support human writers and artists. We put in the work.

Yesterday was #worldrockday and I forgot to post this fine specimen of rock I painted in my book Robinson's New Thing. Painting rocks is my favorite!

At a certain hour of the day I just need
A cup of tea
A sliced apple
A nibble of cheese
A hunk of bread
And a bit of chocolate.

Me putting in hours and hours of writing time.
Hey Scrivner how long will this take people to read?
12 minutes.

That's right. 12 whole minutes.

I found the paper dolls my mom and I made when I was about 5. Mom's is on the left. I love seeing how I tried to copy the way she drew. I remember loving the way she made eyes. My mom is a big reason I am an artist today.

Did you know you could have bread with butter and jam for lunch?
