What are you working on? What have you finished? What do you need encouragment on? Are there any cool events or challenges happening that you want to hype? What do you just want to talk about?

Chores and other not-fun things count!

The original (smaller, simpler) blanket was the "second draft" of the story. I'm a writer but not an illustrator and I don't have much visual imagination and I wanted to see what it would look like in real life. The newer version, the one I just finished recently, was the same idea: the story had expanded (the gray rows in between the colors are new to later drafts) and the second draft (first blanket) wasn't a scrapghan. I finally had enough of a stash to make it a little more true to the book.

It's nice to have something to (literally) hold onto while I send the book out into the void, too. Querying is so stressful and disheartening, it was nice to spend some time with the story in a way that felt soothing.

That's a beautiful way to think about it, it's like you can still say the story/book is with you because you have a physical remnant of it that the void doesn't. :D
