Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Thank you to everyone who added to my encouragement board at the Columbus Book Festival! 🙏🧡📚 Some others I saw before people took them: ✨Be you, the world will adjust.✨ ✨Focus on the plan, not the problem.✨ ✨This will all be okay someday.✨

An encouragement board that says "You're not alone. LEAVE the words you needed to hear when you were struggling. TAKE the words you need to hear right now." The sticky notes on the board say, "I choose my happiness," "You are stronger than you feel," "You matter," "Right now it feels hopeless, remember when things have worked out before," "I am in control," "Your feelings are just as important as your thoughts," and "You are enough." In front of the board is the graphic novel Bones of the Voyager by Lynn Almengor and Janet Figueroa.

I think two things can be true at once. You can acknowledge that neurodivergence and mental illness deserves grace, while also acknowledging that you are not obligated to accept hurtful treatment. As a neurodivergent and mentally ill person, I understand that I don’t get a free pass to hurt people.
