Hi. Got a copy of @mjaneworma.bsky.social’s Of Beasts and looking forward to it. Read @michaelcisco.bsky.social’s Black Brane and loved it. First draft edits for my @clashbooks.bsky.social debut are in hand. Also got the greenlight (“it’s brilliant”) for another project.
Hope y’all are doing well.

One lesson I had to learn the hard way while my mom was dying of cancer is that 95% of the time, being brave feels like absolute shit.
I feel like complete and utter shit right now. But bravery isn't an emotion, its an action.
Bravery isn't meant to feel good. Courage only exists in adversity.
