Your "if you like these" tactic is a SUCCESS. I adore A Monster Calls, so I clicked right away, and now I am so excited for Monster Tree!

CONGRATS on the in-person launch event; wish I could come. Yeah...writing the books are kindof hazy, and also yes, memories fascinate me. Like how do we remember things we aren't actually remembering (like lifting memories from photographs)...the brain is WILD. Okay, I also LOVE your Courses and have been thinking about doing something like this. You're inspiring me. Oh - Overboard! I think(?) I loved that movie. Or am I misremembering...?!

Eeeeee!!! You are the best. I wish you could come too!! Worlwide pandemic and then a cross-country move have made in person events for my previous books a no go, so I'm super stoked for this time. And you should ABSOLUTELY do courses of your own, or something like that!! I'm still brainstorming on extra goodies I can offer. And if you can't remember I think it's definitely time you give Overboard a (re)watch ;)

Thanks for sharing what you remember and don’t remember about the process! It was enlightening!

1. CANNOT WAIT!

2. "Like I was just kind of playing in the dirt and at the end suddenly there was this little dirt gremlin in my hands and mud on my cheeks." I love this so much.

3. Madam Medusa still terrifies me to this day.

Congratulations, Sarah! I wonder if not remembering writing it made editing a lot easier?

Thank you!!! And yeah, I think in this case it did? It went through quite a number of edits but each time it was as if it was a new thing.
