@ivyngeow @wnwagner Returns, that's a new one on me.

@SeanOl777 @wnwagner Which bit, the returns bit or the bit about first year royalties

@ivyngeow @wnwagner I didn't know about that.

@wnwagner I’m expecting the R word this year as my book came out last year. Returns!

Did a fun interview with @SeanOl777 over on that other place. There's a pretty embarrassing typo. I meant to say 'tickled,' okay. 🤦🏻‍♀️ facebook.com/share/p/1Nzhrq…

@mgnlcs I did think that but wasn't sure ha.

Monthly reminder: It’s okay to buy more books. It’s okay to get more books from the library. It’s okay to buy books you won’t read for years. It’s okay to pile books everywhere. It’s okay to get different editions of the same book. Books are awesome. Do whatever makes you happy.
