I recently read her first "Lady Astronaut" book and it was really good, so this is an exciting project!

We unlocked another stretch goal overnight! Now all tiers with a patch set will get a sticker sheet of the patch designs and the sheet will be available for a $7 add-on! Next up, more upgrades to both the soft & hard cover edition of the book. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...

More support = more stretch goals. I think the logic speaks for itself. 💙📚

We've unlocked a tier I've been wanting to make for a long time! These are the astronaut wings for the Lady Astronaut Universe and are available now as an add-on item for any of the physical reward levels! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...

There are several opportunities for us to get together (virtually) this month and even more chances to hang out (in-person) soon. I share that information and a Kickstarter for creatives by @sandratayler.bsky.social in my monthly newsletter. maryrobinettekowal.com/journal/july...

I'm at that awkward point in crocheting a shirt where I know it is too big and also it is nearly finished. So I'm just going to stare sadly at it for days or months before I finally decide to frog the whole thing and start again.

The last stretch goal we unlocked was a 4th patch to add to the set! This one will be voted on by the backers so here's a quick highlight of the first tier with the patches: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...

This photo is just a pile of paper. There's nothing else to see. Move along.

Love is love. It's only political when you decide to regulate it based on hate.

Biden in NC today: "I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to ... [but] I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job ... I know like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down you get back up!"

Just saw some extremely bad writing advice, so: You're a writer if you're not writing right now. You're a writer if you write 1 short story a year. You're a writer if you take breaks. You're a writer if you're still working on *that* story or poem. There's no *one* way. This isn't Highlander.

A conversation on our Discord has prompted me to say again: remember, y'all, what really sells books is not the author talking about their work, but *readers* talking about it. Word of mouth drives far more sales than advertising or any other engine. So if you loved a book, tell your friends!

Last night, Elsie said HELP, which she rarely says. I said, "Show me." She led me to the counter, then jumped from there to my shoulder, where she proceeded to use the additional height to hunt a mosquito. I can't help but think that if she'd been in the debate she would've been the most coherent.
