Woke up this morning to an email providing contest-entry feedback on THE HOUSE ON HARDING STREET. I didn’t win but my book advanced to a second round of judging. Not bad.

Here’s my favorite part of what the reviewer had to say:

I sold 12 books yesterday! TWELVE!

But book sales weren’t the only great thing about the Holiday Crafts Market. I had some really interesting conversations, most of them on one of two topics: 1/2

Unrelated to my WIP, but I sold 12 books today at a holiday craft market!

Daughter (F25) calls me (M56) from the ER. I drop everything to go get her. She’s staying with me. I’m even driving her to work. Found her a new place with 24hour security and paid the deposit myself. Thought she’d be grateful but she’s mad! Says I’m controlling. Insists I should’ve asked her. AITA?
A favorite! Pitch your MC as an Am I The A****** post 🤭 #FiFRevPit #writingcommunity #writersky #writersofbluesky
