I hope everyone has fun in Japan next year 💜💜💜 I’d love to be there, but after the last 4 months … I just can’t plan that far into the future right now.

But I’ll be back at a future Celebration, maybe doing even cooler stuff by then. 👀

Is the internet fizzling out the second you hit submit on a job application good vibes or not

Now that Star Wars Hunters has an official release date, it’s a great time to read Hunters: Battle for the Arena by Mark Oshiro - Pre-Order JASMINE IS HAUNTED!

I spoke with Mark about the book last year on Now This Is Lit: A Star Wars Books Podcast — give that a listen too!

No one warned me that the hardest part about getting married would be having to explain to strangers that my new last name is two last names, no hyphen, no that’s not my middle name, and spell it 500,000 times in one phone call

The Living Force will always be an extra special book to me.

After researching JJM’s body of SW work (and having heard a lot of career backstory in a previous chat with him), finally reading the book months after our interview felt like magic.

I will never forget this. 📚

Mark your calendars for 5/21!

It's more #TheLivingForce discussion with Meg Dowell Mondom over on Now This Is Lit: A Star Wars Books Podcast! 🔥

I can’t say Star Wars TV makes me cry a lot these days, but that finale wrecked me (in a good way). Well done.

I still have a long way to go. But for now, I’ve come further than I ever dreamed, and that’s enough.
