I wish I would've realised sooner that I don't have to solve every fictional problem I came up with the same second I came up with them 😁

#ScribesAndMakers 15. How's your creativity going? Is there anything you would like help with?

I'm liking the zero pressure approach. Making some changes, and rediscovering the rough edges of sketches. I've been "finishing" too much. Need to relearn that rough and dynamic doesn't always mean unfinished. I spent far too many hours trying to "finish" this, only to like the rough sketch a lot more. So, I'm embracing it.

Natalie Jenner, author of "Austen at Sea," discusses how Austen's works reverberated as far back as the mid-19th C, influenced lawyers on both sides of the pond.

Hey, it's Friday! Mr. Lisa and I are going to get mani/pedis tomorrow (Saturday), and then it's asparagus season so a local library is doing a poetry event with asparagus as the theme called Ode to Asparagus. Also, probably some gardening if the weather holds.

What are you doing this weekend?

Friends!

Today, I present to you the cover of Convergence of Connection!

Isn’t it stunning? 🤩 🥰

Check out my latest blog post for an in-depth look at what’s on the cover, and to read the blurb. (NOTE: The blurb talks about what happens in book three; naturally, that means there are spoilers for books one and two.)

Blog post: https://sarahjhoodlet.com/blog/cover-reveal-convergence-of-connection/

#CoverReveal #Books #ComingSoon #Fantasy #RomanticFantasy #Readers #WritingCommunity #SelfPublishing #IndieAuthor #Author

The cover of Convergence of Connection, the third book in The Way of the Wielder series.

Featured is a young woman standing in an active pose, her arms out before her, with four elemental spheres floating in the air at her side (green, gray, red, and blue). Behind her is a green and golden misty background, with leaves around the edges.

Between the title and the author’s name is a vignette of an angelic figure hovering above a glass-like surface, staring out into a starlit sky. The vignette is in golden tones, which blends into the background above.
