Preparing for an event. I get to be the author/writer who launches the school's book fair. In times like this, it's important to remember that the book fair is freaking rad. What an honor.

Charlie makes such cool comics and also lifts other creators up while sharing great insights. Be like Charlie and also go get White Ash. It’s fantastic!

Always love checking in with @barbrajdillon.bsky.social over @fanbasepress.bsky.social

These were some great question that really let me get into the new comic, why it matters, working with Anna, and Kickstarter. Definitely give it a read and make sure you are following the whole Fanbase team.
