Trying to ignore the growing fear that my cover designer might not pan out 🫠 Send good vibes.

[R.G. Sartain @RGSartain]

@_midori_me_ You're absolutely right. I'm about ready to make this my wallpaper for these moments when I'm overthinking it!

I appreciate the kind words :)

Purgatory:
Waiting for your book baby to get back from the editor. Knowing it'll be bloodied up, but not knowing how much.

Does this part ever get easier?

[R.G. Sartain @RGSartain]

@scriblotta Yeah, I was worried that was the answer 🫠

[R.G. Sartain @RGSartain]

@ErodonTV Soon, hopefully! Only one has been completed. Most of the others are due in July-ish

I'm also banking on a cover reveal around that time, but no telling 😅

[R.G. Sartain @RGSartain]

In the past month, I...

- commissioned four pieces of character art and my cover
- picked up a public library card
- sent off my manuscript to the first professional editor
- contracted my next two editors
- started doodling more

And it's all going well, I think 🤞

[R.G. Sartain @RGSartain]

Perhaps it's obvious, perhaps not. But I find social media to be exhausting. I just want to be part of a cool little community where we talk about reading and writing and nerd shit and our place in the world.
