Happy Happy Joy Joy

I got my new tattoo yesterday. The session ran longer than we thought it would , and the end result was different than originally planned. The end result was, however, amazing.

I’m sore from all the hours of work my skin had to put up with, and swollen but I have a wicked tat to show for it.

The words ‘ behind, between, and beyond the body’ have two meanings for me. First, it is a line that I use, in each novel, to describe where the energy comes from which fuels my protagonists magic. Second, it is how I feel about the act of writing for me – where the words themselves come from.

This is why it makes such a great tattoo to commemorate getting my debut novel accepted and published.
