Happy Sunhigh, Gryfon Pride!
Also called the crossquarter day, Sunhigh is a grazers' observance of the day that falls between the Daynight and the Halfnight, and is often the hottest day of the year. It is recognized by most herd animals and small foragers of the Silver Isles.

At least once month, I re-explain publishing to my mom. It's a complicated process! So I made a set of infographics with the big-picture steps. Sharing for anyone else who also explains this constantly to friends and family! First up: Big 5 trad pub.
