Nice little surprise.

Come check out the campaign here.

Kickstarter is almost funded! Here's all the book features in one spot!

We're almost funded, so now that all the book features have been revealed, I wanted to feature them all in one spot!

This book is gonna be so dang pretty. I can't wait to have it in my hands.

Thank you to everyone who has backed the project so far! If you haven't backed yet, there's still time! Come check out the project here.

Case Design Reveal!

I wanted to do something for the case that was simple, and matched the endpages, but wasn't just a plain pattern. So I patterned the pine boughs, then drew the flames individually on each one. I LOVE how it turned out, and I can't wait to have it on my shelf.

Come check out the book on Kickstarter now!

A likely theory.

I just saw a garage sale sign that was the prototypical neon paper and sharpie so thin you could barely read it. Except instead of “garage sale” it just said “knives.”

Did you see the new Avatar show announcement? I am hopefully excited

I have seen it! I really don't have an opinion at this point from a fan perspective, we just don't know enough.

But from a WRITER perspective, I think there's a few interesting things. Firstly, that it's SEVEN havens. Not four, like the four nations, or even five like the four nations plus Republic City. Very curious to see how things are split up now.

Also, it makes sense that they'd be going for a post apocalyptic vibe to sort of reset the world. I think they kind of shot themselves in the foot with how much they advanced the world between Aang and Korra in terms of what that would mean for future sequels. I do think a further evolution of the technology available could have been fun, but it would have been a REALLY hard balance to pull off while maintaining the original vibes in any way.

Time shall tell if it's good or not! For now, I'm more excited about the new novel. Jin is not a character I ever thought we'd dig more into, but I think there's a lot of potential there. It'll be really cool to get a deeper look into wartime Ba Sing Se, and also have something so focused on a (presumably) non-bender.

My original stuff each gets its own Scrivener project file. If it's a series, the whole series goes in one file but different folders for each.

For fanfic, each fandom gets its own Scrivener project file, with folders for each fic.

only sort of related to the wip meme that's going around, i'm curious, now: how do you, personally, organise your wips?

this does not feel like a poll kind of situation—it's a 'just reply or reblog and add to the body of the post' kind of deal. please feel free; i'm genuinely curious.

The combination of 'unnervingly flawless self-control' with 'occasional tendency to engage in reckless, dangerous, and borderline self-destructive or death-seeking behaviour' in a character is SUCH catnip to me

[about my own oc, who i created] in theory its possible she would say that, but we just dont know for sure

Update: knife house is the same house I saw surrounded by a swat team a week ago.

I just saw a garage sale sign that was the prototypical neon paper and sharpie so thin you could barely read it. Except instead of “garage sale” it just said “knives.”

New addition to the book boxes on my Kickstarter!

This campaign is, admittedly, going a bit slower than I'd like. I underestimated just how batshit things were going to get after Trump took office, that's for sure.

But! It is what it is.

So! To make things a little more exiting, I'm adding another goodie to the book boxes, and as an add on. Now, if you back at the book box tier (or any of the wildfire watercolor tiers) you will ALSO get a half pan of watercolor made from the charcoal of the East Troublesome Fire, one of the fires that inspired the book!

This watercolor was handmade by me using charcoal from the East Troublesome Fire as pigment. It makes for a lovely matte black watercolor that can get incredibly solid and dark, and also creates some very interesting charcoal-like texture effects as you push the pigment around. Plus it doesn't trend towards blue or brown as you work with it, it is BLACK. I honestly love working with it so much, and I figured it would make for a good addition to this little campaign!

If you have already backed at a book box tier, you will get this automatically. If you want to adjust your pledge to get one, just head back to the campaign and click the button to do so. You can stay at your current level and just add the watercolor as an add on, or upgrade to a book box tier!
