There will be more info about #WSPit dropping this week!
I'm working on a couple different things for this year.
But, the biggest thing, it's happening & is open to any stage of writing from WIP to published. It's to celebrate our books & pitch what we've been sharing from all year.

Why am I so tired?
Let's see...
Today I:
- finished a dialect overhaul
- checked every transition
- made a map of remaining potential cuts
- checked continuity
- drafted a new synopsis
- drafted a new blurb
- glared at the last 7 chapters
It's progress.

After another hardcore weekend of editing, the first three chapters are finally feeling airtight.
The remainder of the book is also coming along with finalized vocab, capitalization, and continuity checks.

2am, a year into editing, and the brain suddenly decides to ask:
But does this story even neeeed a con-lang?
The answer, of course, is yes. It's there because it's deeply embedded in the culture and hierarchy.
But 2am editor brain is a bully.

Hey everyone!
Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!
But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.
I just resorted our list to put those on the top.
