Kicking my feet and thinking about how it's less than a year until I share a historical fantasy that is a love letter to my maritime hometown and its long history of folklore, the care and fear within sisterhood, toxic sacrifice, the ocean, shipwrecks, lighthouses, ghosts, and feminist revenge 💙🌊

I'm reminded for the 19503th time as I work on these edits that writing is in fact a difficult skill you spend your whole life mastering and while that can be intimidating (like right now as I try to make my book Good™️), it's also beautiful in an age of AI to work so hard at something so personal.
