Even if Cape Verde can’t hold on today, Vozinha is going straight to Unc Valhalla

Making the food from my books because I feel like it! This first one is from my Norse-inspired Fantasy world: Sweet Bread with Cheese Brioche with diced apples, raisins, cinnamon, cardamom, and mace, served with whipped honey ricotta🍽️

And, in my humble opinion, this is one thing contributing to the teen reading decline. We made a YA market that chases adult readers/adult money instead of accepting that catering to actual teens probably won't rake in the uber bucks (with the long-term gain of fostering future adult readers)

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

mildly realistic: I want to do school visits!! I would weep with joy to ever get to go talk to some students about the silly little books I wrote for them not in a million years, but we dream: an animated series in the style of Studio Mir or Powerhouse

I've been tracking stats about YA book deals + their protagonists' genders for a very long time. Frankly, it's at the point where I don't even want to query my boy-led books anymore. I will! But man is it soul-crushing. How many times will teachers, parents, librarians have to tap this sign?

Currently deep in the #amquerying bittersweet feeling of sending out a book that you know has very little chance of success BUT not in a self-deprecating way I'm proud of this book, I believe it can sell, but I also understand the trad market is an unknowable beast. 'Tis a strange limbo to sit in 😅

To anyone struggling to make their art: THEY WANT YOU TO STOP WRITING/PAINTING/MAKING. They fear our rich inner lives, beyond even their reach. They fear our revolutionary fantasies, our ungovernable and unprofitable thoughts. Yes, the obstacles are greater than ever. So is the need.

I sincerely thank @keiralekseii.bsky.social for setting up the GFM and @xiranjayzhao.bsky.social for their guidance throughout the process. Please help. www.gofundme.com/f/help-soumi
