                                                                      My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have had this book on my "TBR List" for a couple months now and finally had time to read it.
"The Inkling" by K.T. Ivanrest, is far too short a book for the amazing content it had to offer.
Things that I absolutely loved:

-I loved the fact that the main character is a thief, but in no way does Yeta revel in the fact that she has to "steal" in order survive.
-Ink magic. Stop right there. I mean, how cool is that? Really think about it. Ink that contains it's own magic. And it's not just one type of ink either. There are several different ink.
-Ink dragons. Loved this more than I can say.
-Small book but wrapped up the story well, but left me wanting more.

In short, this is a great book for so many reasons and if you like well-drawn characters, unique magic, dragons and airships, you should definitely pick up K.T. Ivanrest's book, "The Inkling".

Also, if you are the author of this book and reading this, thank you so much for writing this book.   
Can you write another "inkling story"? Pretty please?

Hello, 2022!

  Hello! So, I realize that 2022 began nineteen days ago, but I was waiting for results from a sort of poll I was running on social media. Now that I have the results, I can proceed with this post! Before I reveal any "words of the year" or goals for 2022, let's see how I did for 2021. Read 90 books in 2021? I actually read 100, surpassing my Goodreads Goal by ten books! This has been a number I've been trying to read for at least three years, but I've finally read 100 books in a year! Did I learn to draw a hand? Sadly no. A few months into 2021, I had a whole host of medical tests and drawing went out the window. I would love to start learning to draw again, but I just started a new job so we'll see if and when it will make its appearance in my life again. So, this didn't happen by March of last year, but it did happen. Sirens of Fate , the first book in my Harbinger Trilogy, did go to a developmental editor last year! It needs another rewrite, but hopefu

NaNoWriMo Know Your Novel Introduction

This is my first time joining the wonderful  Christine Smith  and a bunch of other wonderful writers in her three-month Know the Novel link-up for writers in these final months of the year. I'm completely nervous, having never done anything like this before, but also very excited.  October's theme is  Introduction  which is the post featured today.  Earlier this month I announced that for the months of October and November I would be switching projects from Harbinger  to Tear   in honor of NaNoWriMo, using this month to prepare. So without further ado, let me introduce you to my novel. KNOW THE NOVEL: PART ONE: INTRODUCTION Q 1. What first sparked the idea for this novel? A 1. Well, most of my novel ideas, (no pun intended), come from questions. I had this question pop into my head, "Where does Writer's Block come from?" This story was born out of the quirky answer that I came up with. Q 2. Share a blurb! A 2. I warn you this is an extremely rough b

Finding Magic in the Day-to-Day

     Hello! Last month I talked about cultivating a sense of wonder, and this month, I want to go off of that and talk about finding magic in the ordinary.  When I was little, I loved stories of magic, of knights and princesses and epic quests. To be honest, I still do. I do wonder though, if in that search for the otherworldly magic, I missed the magic that is present in the day to day.  When the world sort of shut down in 2020, I was out of a job for months. One of the things I did was to go on more walks. It was a novelty for me to not be rushing everywhere, frantic to get from here to there. I could do nothing about my situation so I was forced to slow down. In that slowing down, I began to notice the world around me. To really notice. There was magic in every aspect of life. I didn't need a fairytale quest or magic that came with a whiz and a bang. The ordinary magic of the every day was soft and gentle like a whisper on a breeze, but it was there, and reader: it is still ther
