It has been exactly three weeks since I drafted anything, and I am going a little bit wonky. I feel I’m only another incident in November (guys, our washer is being weird, my car is being towed, AND one of the faucets in the bathroom stopped working—since Saturday) from needing to hammer out an unhinged oneshot of fic just to soothe my soul.

But alas, we keep moving and when I keep moving, it means sharing some fun news as well as commiserating with the tow truck driver about the weird month I’m having ALREADY! We are exactly TWO WEEKS from my cover reveal!

Ever heard of the three-touch rule? It’s this idea in advertising as well as other sales arenas (think retail experiences) where the goal is to first create curiosity, then anticipation, and ultimately a decision. So if you follow me in multiple places, YES, you’re going to see this messages multiple times (SORRY). If posting fic (and years of “starving artist/student” retail experience) has taught me anything, it’s that it’s difficult to get someone’s attention on that first interaction—and even the second or third. I am a shining example of this (as someone who tends to pre order later than most). It’s also easier to speak to an audience that’s ready for that information. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve finished posting a story, only for someone to come along and say they weren’t aware of its existence. It’s just how it goes. So get ready for promo. I want to continue to share writing insights and talk about what I’m working on, but the next few weeks will be introducing you to the characters and cover art of A FINE LINE :)

I will also be tempting you with pictures of my puppy Nelly—as requested by a reader.
