I really like it so far! Interesting pacing and use of POV. Definitely some dark themes, so read it when you’re in the right head space! Oddly, an author friend of mind didn’t like it at all, though. 🤷♀️ A good reminder that there are different readers out there for different authors!

Finally reading All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker. Kind of loving the effect of the short chapters on pacing…!

Tinker is the little white one. The ‘runt’ of the litter, so she’s especially tiny! Waffles is the orange puff on the right. Not pictured is his favorite toy bear, Syrup. 🤣

Thanks, @coltonhensley.bsky.social! It’s my creative-leaning midlife crisis.🤣🤗
Why I started writing… the words were keeping me up at night, stories burning in my brain. Had to get them out.😉
And there are certainly parts of working as an SLP that I miss and many I don’t. So is life, I guess!😄
