Over the past few months I’ve worked diligently on my deadline for the thumbnail manuscript of my first YA graphic novel, Unfinished. The process of making a book is loooong and thumbnails are an important milestone.

As a newly single mom celebrating is important but continuing to work as an artist and author requires that mean boss voice to keep focused. I can’t falter or stop for long - it would be too easy. Luckily I have a village of friends who cheer me on and bring celebratory energy and wine.

Wine and my mean boss voice are equally important.

Here’s to a weekend of wine before another deadline emerges.
