You are amazing and handled the projector problem so well! Like nothing even happened. And I’m so happy I was able to be there to celebrate with you!!!

Loved this, love NYC (which feels like a second home to me). What fun to be in the crowd at one of your events, drawing you as you speak. Maybe someday!

Hopefully someday! 🤞

Thanks for the mention, it was so energizing to chat with you!

You took such great care to really chat with every reader (and to draw them, what a generous gift!) That’s the good human stuff that people will remember. So happy I got to attend your book launch and meet IRL!

Carolyn, I learned so much from listening to everyone that waited in line. So much of writing and art, as you would know, feels like screaming into a void. It is a rare and heartening experience to have people tell you what they think of your work! And I am so, so glad that I got to meet you IRL. I hope we have the chance to do it again soon. (I plan to be back in the spring!)

Wonderful! We shall meet again for a proper draw!

How fabulous Nishant! Will you ever come to Nashville? (also, plz don’t tell me you were already here! Lol)

Nishant Jain's avatar

Hi Maureen, Nashville isn't on the list at the moment. But maybe next spring I could be in the general vicinity. 🤞🤞

Can't wait to read your book Nishant and enjoy it through night feeds.

Best wishes, Melanie, for the wonderful days and nights ahead. 🥰

Your writings is just terse enough to let me imagine being there without weighing me down with too much. Capturing rather than exhausting my attention. You write like you draw!

Nishant Jain's avatar

Thank you, I worked hard to make it so! 🙌

Well you succeeded!
