Thank you! Thankfully it's a short week, and I'm spending time with good friends on thursday and friday.
I already had a phone interview. I should be finding out whether or not I get an in-person interview today or tomorrow. Here's to hoping!

I'm going back to The Vampire Chronicles for this one. Marius becomes a mentor to Lestat, even though he has no obligation to. He tries to help, despite having to keep secrets, and that's always fun. Marius as a character is sensitive and headstrong; imperfect mentors are so fun!

I don't really pay much attention to tropes so I haven't actively avoided any in Such Sweet Sorrow. I HAVE put a little bit of "best friend in love" in there, but I purposefully made the feelings requited but the relationship not happen because Rebecca is in a vulnerable mindset.

Anti-tropes: what are some tropes that you've purposefully avoided in your WIP? OR, are there any tropes that you've put a twist on?

Hoping to just get through this week. I need a bit of a break, but also I'm waiting to hear back about a potential job interview. So not many creative goals right now.

Yes, quite a few in The Night Garden series. The plan is that they eventually get their own books. Esmeralda's book is largely romance, where the main series is dark fantasy. Most others will be in the same genre as the main series.

All of the marketing help things out there are like "ready to build your empire?"
And i'm over here like, no. No i'm not. I don't WANT an empire. I want to live off of my art and writing without endlessly adding to the babble out there. That's all.

This is an interesting question! The only examples I can think of this that I've actually read are classics like Christmas Carol or Picture of Dorian Gray. I don't think I have a favorite, in that regard, unless you include The Vampire Chronicles, but Lestat is kind of more - (1/2)

I forgot to add, Acanthus usually wears theirs down but will braid it when they're anxious.

Acanthus (The Night Garden series) has thick, waist-length auburn hair that's in loose curls. Rebecca (Such Sweet Sorrow) has an angled bob haircut in platinum blonde.

Rebecca is hyper critical, focuses on work instead of dealing with her emotions, and deals with stress by ordering greasy food.

#Bookvember 23 Lucky Day, Chuck Tingle. Vera is a self-hating pessimist through most of it, so the twist at the end was really unexpected and refreshing. I can't go into details because it's fairly new and I don't want to spoil, but -- if you want to avoid pessimistic nihilism, maybe skip this one.

mother into it. She has to try and save her father from being kidnapped by the villain and try and find her mother and get the characters back into their book. It was a trilogy; I never read the third book, but I recently picked it up and I want to re-read the series. (2/3)

I think I have to say Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. That series was so, so good, and it's one of the few younger-audience books that I read at the time it came out. Meg's father Mo is a silvertongue and accidentally read the villain out of a book and Meg's (1/3)

The best way to deal with imposter syndrome- do it scared anyway & let other people give you feedback. Don't ask to be torn down; constructive feedback is acknowledging the good and the bad. Don't dismiss compliments, use critique as a guide you can grow with.

I think that external challenges are useful when it comes to prompts and sprinting for sure. It makes me actively think about things I otherwise wouldn't, and sprinting lets me actively shut out other distractions for the sake of the "deadline".
