“Your teachers
Are all around you.
All that you perceive,
All that you experience,
All that is given to you
or taken from you,
All that you love or hate,
need or fear
Will teach you-
If you will learn.”
- Parable of the sower

Close-up of me (😆) in my colorful Lake District scarf in the new coffee shop that just opened downtown after we had NOTHING within an hour’s drive. The pure happiness of a writer-friendly space!!
My family gifted me a new ipad to write on, look how pretty it is alongside the coffee shop Christmas tree!
“I can do better (or delete)” handwritten on a manuscript page with highlighting and cross-outs.
“LOVE ALL THIS” handwritten in the margins of a manuscript—proof that I am nice to Past Cassandra too!
The chapter I'm revising rn is a long one broken into 2-3 page scenes in rapid shifts of POV. It's challenging to revise because readers won't have a lot of time to drop into the emotions of each character before a big turn happens and then we jump to the next character. #amrevising #bookannotation
A page from THE ARCHIVE UNDYING, in which Sunai unfairly assumes his occasional lover on this disastrous expedition, Veyadi, is about to hand him off to the bad guys.
Of course, Veyadi urges Sunai to leave instead. “Brave and sweet,” in Sunai’s words—but Veyadi is also kinda sus, so how will this play out?
Sometimes, I just want to smack Sunai upside the head, but I GET IT, I DO. Perhaps Veyadi is the one who should be smacked here. (NO SPOILERS, I’m still reading 😆 but I am complaining as someone who is further into the book than this moment.) #bookannotation 📚💙 #booksky #speclit
Do you or don’t you annotate your books? If so what’s your favorite way?
I have started writing in books and at 1st it felt kinda icky not gonna lie. Now I think I am gonna do it all digitally cause I have a lot to say!
