I am working on this "folktales about misunderstood animals" collection for children. However, I am accidentally accumulating a bunch of tales about misunderstood animals that are only fit for adults* 😄

I don't think my publisher would go for it, but now I want to work on it anyway...

(* no, not THAT way, just in terms of violence or complexity.)

Looks like my next folktale collection is going to be about misunderstood animals 🥰😊 What are your favorite misunderstood, misrepresented, or underappreciated animals?

When people ask me where I get my ideas from I like to show them this picture.

Just hit SEND on my Forgotten Greek Myths manuscript 😊

Time for the last read-through of this manuscript, or as I like to call it, De-Semicolonization

😄

I am finishing up my mythology manuscript this week, and it is really hard to let this one go... I had too much fun with the stories. I found a lot of forgotten Greek and Roman myths or myth variants that surprised and delighted me. It was like a huge puzzle to play with.

I have seen more neighbors today than any time we've lived here.

Because it's a holiday and everyone is working in their yards.

Of course, the pupper dog wants to go outside and meet everyone but I want to work on my #AmWriting #Writing #Editing

Who will win?...
