@DavidBridger It was great fun, made greater by the thank you notes. 😇
@Bern Yeah! I'd never done anything like that before, but it was great fun. Getting the letters afterwards was a delightful, humbling surprise. ☺️

#WordWeavers 29Mar—How big is your cast of characters?

With my new series, there will be 10-12 recurring characters throughout, but each book will only have 2-4 POV/narrating MCs. I'm currently rewriting book one, which only has two POVs: Emery and Vince. All recurring characters are introduced in this book.

My standalone book has a much smaller cast, with only two MCs, and two, maybe three SCs. Plus a cow. 🐮

#WritersCoffeeClub 29Mar—Share one of your writing milestones.

My MIL works in a school. I donated copies of my MG story, which many kids have read/are reading. Recently, I was invited to speak to her class about it.

The kids asked a bunch of questions about the story itself, and writing in general. I even helped them with their own narrative assignments.

Two weeks later, I got an envelope of thank you notes from the students. Some even drew the characters. I'll cherish them forever. 🥰

@kmherkes They're so fluffy! 😍
@Bern The comma one had me LOL'ing! 😆
@XenoPhage The comma one made me LOL. If anyone knew how much of my editor's feedback was correcting misplaced commas... 😆
@Firlefanz That's my favorite, too, if only because I have a hard time remembering it. ❤️

After nearly 1 million words written, my husband decided it was time for me to get a new laptop! (To be fair, the index finger locator nubs were basically worn to nothing, and the rose gold finish under my wrists was rubbed away... 😅)

Anyway, with a new laptop also comes new stickers! 🥳

I only had the bottom right sticker before, but my husband got me several others (he's such a stud). Which one is your favorite?
