SPOILERS FOR UNSLEEPING CITY CHAPTER TWO

I love the unsleeping city and Cody is a fun character but when I tell you that him wielding the questing blade in episode 5 starting at 20 minutes in and onward made me so mad

I had to stand up and walk away from the tv just breathing so I could calm myself down

Another thing I've noticed working as a children's librarian is like... kids get so Paralyzed By Choice and the adults in their lives never really register why. Like, for example, we have little scavenger hunt sheets in the children's section and when a kid completes it, they get to pick out a cute eraser from our prize basket. We also have a little toy prize chest as part of our "1000 books before Kindergarten" challenge for when kids complete 100 books--and kids will spend minutes carefully picking through everything while their parents are shooting us anxious looks like "sorry they're taking so long! I know this is silly and it's completely ridiculous that my child is taking so long to choose between a bath toy and a cube puzzle because these are cheap and arbitrary objects! Hurry up, Harper! Just pick something! You're embarrassing me!!" But in the kids' perspective, they already have so little control over what objects come into their lives, and in this case, the object represents labor and effort on their end, so of course they feel they must choose very carefully. I've always been an anxious and indecisive person, so it's striking to see how being rushed really doesn't help that and really only makes it harder for kids to figure out what they want.

I'm starting a collection

feeling your characters emotions

I think one of my greatest strengths as a writer is that I really feel my characters emotions. But what this means is that whenever a character is feeling really stressed or anxious (which happens a lot) I feel really stressed and anxious. So I’ve almost given myself anxiety attacks a couple times
