Today, in a storyboard meeting, the ever-caricaturing Ryu Ki Hyun drew Mike/Bolin, Me/Mako, and Joaquim/Meelo.
Dear Leigh, I'm not sure if you have already answered this question, but what was the final word count for Shadow and Bone? I'm curious because I'm almost finished with my own novel. I know that "the story is done when it's done", but I'm just really curi
So I went back into my gmail to get an answer for you (and got a little choked up reading my original exchange with Jo).
The MS I queried with was 72K. I think the final book was somewhere between 80 and 85K?
Exciting that your novel is almost complete. Good luck with next steps

You can be a fan of something and dislike the writer/s and their writing style/s.
You can be a fan of something and notice and discuss problematic elements of it.

You don’t have to be young. You don’t have to be thin. You don’t have to be “hot” in a way that some dumbfuckedly narrow mindset has construed that word. You don’t have to have taut flesh or a tight ass or an eternally upright set of tits.
You have to find a way to inhabit your body while enacting your deepest desires. You have to be brave enough to build the intimacy you deserve. You have to take off all of your clothes and say, “I’m right here. ”
