Addendum: If you write sci-fi or fantasy with strange names/ aliens species, etc, add these to your dictionary as well!

I have thirty minutes before I need to run to a meeting so I am trying to fix the plot of this book yet again. *hands the C4 to @wrytersblockdh.bsky.social *
@gailcarriger.bsky.social I do believe someone has created a t-shirt for Alexia and Rue..... 😉
