Update, Twas A Success.

Update, twas a success.

The emotions have been successfully processed and I am once again mostly functional.

Gonna go sit in my grumpy little blanket cave and vent my emotions into a pillow.

I second that, libby and all the free ebook resources you can access through your library card are awesome! I have a card with my local library for libby, and cards with the two neighboring regions for when I want to compare wait times for more popular ebooks.

Also, fun thing I discovered a while back, some libraries let you suggest books for them to buy, and if they approve it the library orders it in to add to their collection and puts the book on hold for you to read as soon as it gets there. So if they don't have a book you want they might be able to order it in or even get it sent over from a nearby library. Which is very cool to me and my non-existent book budget.

I'm almost 30 and still amazed you can just walk into a library and pull a book off a shelf and read it, don't even need to ask anyone, can just sit down and read book for free until closing time. There is nothing that free anywhere else that isn't serreptitiouly religious or requiring registration. that's how stuff should be. Libraries are so good

The first rule of dealing with people is: everybody wants to be a good person. Even your shitty boss.

The second rule of dealing with people is: everyone fails at being a good person. Even you. Even your best friend.

I think the rest flow from these.

So I'm beta reading for someone right now and who was going to tell me it's this fun! I get to be the hype squad IN THE ACTUAL DOCUMENT!!

And it's a second draft so the only major notes I need to leave are for pacing/character arcs, which, HELLO that's my favorite part.

The story is already so good. I'm just loving being a tiny little part of someone else's writing journey and getting a behind the scenes look at their brilliance.

Agh this is the best!
