Thanks for everyone who's bid on the #Creatives4Sudan auction so far. In amazing news, we're at 12k. We have TWO DAYS LEFT though. If everyone places lots of little bids, I think we could get to 15k easy. The money is going to Sudanese-run Emergency Response Rooms. 💗🇸🇩 app.galabid.com/creatives4su...

A good editor! I don't edit graphic novels (special skills required), but I've queried countless timelines and dates, not to mention researching stuff like, Do those flowers bloom at that time of year? These illustrations are just gorgous too! 💜 #AmEditing

Looking forward to this!

What the hell?

More gorgeous Scotland. New Slains Castle. I thought it would make a great setting for a novel, perhaps a murder or a romance or both! I didn't realise it had a connection to Bram Stoker at the time. #StetWalk #AmEditing

Snap these up!

I had high hopes for Pobble (who had no toes) in today's NYT spelling 🐝 Sadly disappointed 😞 (j/k obviously)
