What a great story, and a happy ending, too! Your illustrations are enchanting, and I am a little curious to know more about the tools you've used to create them. Thanks for sharing this!

Anne! This comment made me smile—thank you so much for the support.

To illustrate, I use Procreate on my iPad. 100% recommend. I started using Procreate this year and had to watch some YouTube videos to learn the basics, but now it feels like an endless sketchpad I can explore.

That's the thing, right? Finding a way to share moments and stories from our lives in a manner that's not so much a confessional, but instead a way to process and think through them. Also, wonderful illustrations as always.

Extremely funny, and telling. Sometimes I channel Nike. Your mom’s pre-date advice sounds just like her. Negronis - yum! You deserve a medal
