Just found out my cousins and their entire family (four adults, two kids) barely made it out of the Texas flooding. We grew up vacationing in that area for the 4th every year. It’s a damn miracle they escaped.

If you use the Hero's Journey, Save the Cat, or Story Circle models when outlining, you should look below. I made a free thing to help writers!

Con setup/day 1 tomorrow. I have so much to do. I want to play Sims. I cannot. I want to take a nap. I cannot. I must print new signs and bully the laminator and order groceries and package prints and make sure the cats have food so they don’t riot. It is a realistic threat.

What do you MEAN you ‘did your research before you came’ to the con and you bought my book online and you’re halfway through it in your hotel room and you want me to sign it? What do you MEAN? Am I dreaming???!??? Did you see the internal screaming on my face?!?!

Day 3 of Anime Matsuri- this con starts to wear us down because it’s 4 days, but the energy has been so good and the people have been wonderful 💞 Going into the day with high hopes and my book/headphones for lunch break!

The Halley Traveler and Becoming A Druid are FREE today. Help me get to 1000 books given away. Links below.

Not quite done with the show, but it’s been a successful event 🎉 so wonderful to see friendly faces and enthuse about books. Realized I hadn’t yet posted by bookshelf display 👀 we can only use it in a big booth but I love it! (Also Queen Esmay ruling my quote blocks 😂)

Good morning from Koji and his ‘dorito,’ and also from Jing 💞

Let’s GO! So ready to get back to my favorite event 💞

Someone needs to take my Kinokuniya membership away 😭 I CANNOT be trusted to walk into that store unsupervised Anyway I’m caught up on Wind Breaker, Cherry Magic, and Gachiakuta 🎉 Also, please enjoy my wife’s stunning hibiscus:

Definitely emotional with the end of Kaiju No. 8. I could have read a dozen more volumes about this team- but it’s a good ending 💞

Got to meet some awesome cosplayers today, including a sighting of Neil Josten in the wild (happy birthday!) accompanied by Andrew. Half the fun of going to cons is being surrounded by people who love what you love 🦊

EXACT same thing happened in my house, my poor mom was not sure why we enjoyed it so much but she never worried again

Congrats to everyone who moved forward with BBNYA this year 💞 I’m not with you but I am WITH you, can’t wait to see who wins!

The lord works fast but Jesse works faster 🎉

This person DID NOT design the cover for Wraith and the Revolution. I don't even know who she is! The real artist behind the artwork is J Caleb Design, and I did the text formatting (anyone who has read Wraith can see that for themselves, as it's listed on the copyright page)
