Hush

[rosesutherlandwrites]

I'm way, way too busy, I'm still not sure what's going to happen with the second book I wrote (though there is now a real plan where hopefully eventually the answer will be "something"), I'm sick of doing customer service (what should be new) and I've got Family Stupidity of the "I should have known better than to hope for things to be different" variety doing my head in more than a little, but no lie, on some levels I am having the nicest summer of my life. ❤️

Today I am one step closer to fulfilling a goal I've been trying to achieve since...before I even joined this hellsite? At least 2016, and in a lot of ways something Ive dreamed of even years before that. For now cross your fingers for me and Kissing Brook, and if it all works out I'll explain soonish!

Hi! I read A Sweet Sting of Salt a while back and keep thinking about it. As a fellow Maritimes queer girl this was right up my alley. The Les Mis tumblr fandom bit in the acknowledgments took me out, though, because I was lurking there in 2020 and somehow didn’t hear about this book! Such a small world. I found it by looking up “selkies” on Libby and going in blind. I have a bunch of Acadian characters from ~100 years before the time of your story, and seeing the love and care that went into Muirin and Jean, it keeps encouraging me to see my story to the end. I’m so happy this historical period is seeing a little boom of its own. Thanks for writing!

Hi yourself, and thank you so much for taking the time to look me up and say hello! I’m so happy you enjoyed Salty—I had a lot of fun packing in a lot of little East Coast-isms in hopes that people like you would spot them, so I always love hearing that other Maritimers are finding the book.

Too funny about Les Mis Tumblr—if feels like a fairly small community sometimes, but I’m always discovering new corners of it? And since Salty isn’t really a fandom thing, it never really escaped my closest circle of mutuals until it became a real book! So cool to hear you’re writing something with lots of Acadiens—such a fascinating history and a vibrant culture, and I will look forward to seeing what you do with it!

Thank YOU, for reading! It means a lot to me that you picked up A Sweet Sting Of Salt, and I’m so happy it spoke to you 💕🦭💕

PSA: GO INTO YOUR SETTINGS NOW TO PREVENT TUMBLR USING YOUR INFO TO TRAIN AI.

Tumblr has an opt-out for third-party sharing that allows them to share your blog's information to AI models. This toggle is assuming your CONSENT by DEFAULT. Go into Settings > Blog > Visibility to turn this toggle off.

I copyed all this from the origanal poster @cloudmancy, this could probably help

Share this with others to help them

P.S:LOVE YOUR ART❤️🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🩷

This was there for a good while actually. Also, I think the option needs to be active for it to work as it says "Prevent third-party sharing for [blog]".

Either way still worth checking on it for folks who didn't yet and/or were not aware about it. Ty for the headsup 👍

RIP to the Théâtre des Vampires, you would have legitimately put on the greatest production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats ever put to the stage.
