being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

I just scalded my entire freakin mouth on boiling hot tea -_- how’s your morning going.

It actually happened… I had a full on dream about doomscrolling my phone. I am well and truly cooked y’all 💀💀

Aaand that’s a wrap in this one. Gotta say, that was a very compelling ending. Really sets up a crazy precedent for the next book(s) in the series.

Writing is an act of rebellion.
Writing is an act of creation.
Writing is an act of salvation.
Writing is an act of exploration.
Writing is an act of emotion.
Writing is an act of confession.
Writing is an act of speculation.
Writing is an act of reflection.
Keep writing.

Arcane not winning Best Adaptation is a crime against good art 😒
