I am so furious about the @InkyardPress situation. The poor team over there! My poor clients! What a casually cruel way to handle this. A mass email?! Did we not learn our lesson about mass emails?!?! I don’t know where to even put how ragey I am right now.

Made a quick comic to work through some depression bouts. My friend suggested that life would be so much easier if we could blow dust from our brains like we did for game cartidages. They're right.

Writing about myself was the hardest - & easiest - part of writing this book! @mcmsharksxx The most important shift I had to make was thinking about page flow & the page-to-page reading experience. @DevinElleKurtz mariacmarshall.com/single-post/th… #interview #kidlit
