Olivie Blake is Not Writing, Jan. 31, 2023: Growing Your Own Optimist!

I, my dagger, and my latest trip around the sun return to chat in reply to asks/reviews/comments in a series of boldly shameless rambles wherein I, Olivie Blake, am not writing. Today's topics include my new Witch Way anthology, GROW YOUR OWN OPTIMIST! (0:55), some thoughts on the legality of book-inspired merch (5:57), when having a baby means you're not allowed to die (13:03), why I'm so fascinated by time (18:20), building complex characters (21:16), and choosing the friendship in blurred romantic and platonic lines (26:51).
