(For the record, THIEFTESS had an editor, a copy editor, and at least three proofreaders...and all of them found a significant amount of things to fix. That's how much fun this book is to read!) #BookSky
The huge typo in DEAREST even made it into the audiobook - Odette is introduced as "Princess Odessa" and nobody caught it except Katy, who was forced by Audible to make her narration match the text. It's a shame we were never able to fix that. #BookSky
This includes my first published book that I wrote: AlphaOops!: The Day Z Went First (Candlewick) An ESL friend read it with his daughter and asked if I'd made the typo on purpose. I actually got to call Candlewick and say "STOP THE PRESSES!" We managed to catch it before the second printing.
Last night was one of those sunsets that looks like a painting.

I have my friend Bianca's college art assignment where the professor instructed her students to combine to art styles…and then docked Bianca points because "comic book is not a style." We call her Roguea Lisa
Tonight I stood in the rain and watched fireworks for a while. No one skillfully reminded me that the grass was wet or told me to put shoes on. No one checked the time. No one whined about how much better it was somewhere else. It was just me & the quiet & the beautiful sky. Boom. 💥 #Freedom
Watching the clouds float across the sky is by no means a waste of time. 
Playing around with my little samgak kimbap molds (I was surprised how well they turned out!). ⭐️ #MagicShop
