A fun mystery, interesting characters, a world where things are a bit different, and a hint of romance await you in this fun YA book. I admit, Jason wasn’t my favorite character at first, and my heart really went out to Eva. Probably because I was the smart, bullied kid in school growing up, and had one of the popular kids pull a prank in chemistry lab, too. And while I didn’t have to regularly deal with spoiled rich kids, I hated it when I had to. As the story progresses, we really get to see another side of Jason, and see Eva come out of her shell a bit. I loved seeing the character development and light romance side plot. You’re really hooked quite quickly once you start reading, and by the end of chapter one, I absolutely needed to know what was going to happen next. The alternate-world building was done really well, and it’s clear Maddon put a lot of thought into that and the character development. Overall, an excellent YA book that even older readers will enjoy! 5 stars

It took way too many hours today, but all my EPUB's "major" and "minor" accessibility issues are dealt with - only got the "best practice" one left, but not sure it's fixable (it doesn't like the padding I have above each chapter number) 🤔
Given that I don't speak HTML, I'm pretty proud of myself!

Someone bought a paperback of one of my novels in Sweden, and I have so many questions!
How did they find it? How did they hear about it? Did they buy it in-store or online? Was it for them or a gift? Did they read it? Did they like it?!
So so many questions!!!

November means writing messy first drafts that include the stellar "shopping at his shop".

The important bit is to keep putting words on the page, without worrying on making them pretty, that's what editing is for!

Hey Earlybirds, It’s @gertrudedaly.bsky.social! I managed to pull myself out of bed and am making a pot of tea. 🫖

Writing sprints begin at :10. But I will be back before then with details.

I am going with a Denmark Royals theme, but tea comes from the charity Historical Royal Palaces in the UK.
Gertrude is holding a container of Tower of London Blend tea. The tea is created by Harney & Sons for the Historical Royal Palaces Charity. In the background is various items related to making tea. A kettle, tea pot, mug, and honey.

That's why I use pacemaker.press, it allows you to completely customise your pace! Include the days you aren't planning to write (or do less), tell it the days you want to do more, and it does all the calculations! I love it!

I knew I would struggle to write after working, but that's why I wrote extra on the weekends. Hopefully my days won't be quite as draining. 😮‍💨

As a hardcore pantser, plotting is haaaaaard, but I've learned that it cuts down editing time from about 4 years to 2 months so I'm forcing myself (saying I'm embracing it would be way too much of a stretch 😅😂)

Who else is doing emergency plotting today, because tomorrow is (already) the 1st November, and despite #NaNoWriMo demise, you're conditioned to write something new in November?

Am I hunching because I have weak back muscles, or are my back muscles weak because I'm hunching? 🤔

I'm procrastinating on edits, can you tell?!

a tweet by toby fox that says "I didn't try to learn Japanese for a long time because I thought it would be too hard. But now I love learning it and I use it every day. If there's anything you want to learn, don't be stopped by thinking it'll be too hard! Try it! Game-making, music, art, language, anything!"

I'm reading an article on the rate of human body decomposition in the water (I swear, it's for a book!), and the site is suggesting I may also be interested in "Homicide by combination of methods of asphyxiation"... 😅😂😇
