Aimee Lucido on Facing Down the Blank Page

I had such a fabulous time last night at @booksofwonder.bsky.social celebrating the launch of WORDS APART! And I’m extremely grateful to everyone who showed up to collaboratively build a crossword puzzle together. Such a fantastic way to release this book into the world at long last!

I have an article in @publisherswkly.bsky.social today about how sometimes, writing sucks. Read it here! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Author Aimee Lucido reflects on the puzzling and painstaking process of writing her latest book, 'Words Apart,' a middle grade novel featuring comics-style panels by Phillippa and Rachael Corcutt.

This is good, and frankly less embarrassing results for me than our news quiz. Yes I know I work here.

@bloomberg.com has a daily game! Alphadots is a word puzzle with a plot twist. Created by Jeff Chen, the puzzle is crossword-adjacent, but it's its own a totally novel concept. You can check it out here:

One clue, one chart, one hidden phrase. Solve a new puzzle every day.
