Okay, I've been loving all of Laurie's emails and these inbetweenisodes. Sorry I haven't been commenting. My thoughts have been...less coherent lately.
Question: Is Laurie writing to Ella's dad? 👀
Now, the must comment while you're still talking on the podcast moment:
I NEED THE ILBREA MIDDLE GRADE BOOK. OMG.
That story sounds like an amazing bit of universe building for one of my fav fams. 🥰 If you don't publish can I buy a draft just to read for my own personal Ilbrea knowledge?!?! Pllllleeeeasssse.
I will confirm that the emails are not going to Ella's dad.
I'm sorry you've been having bad brain times lately. Days when your brain won't cooperate are frustrating, and when it stretches into weeks, functioning can feel impossible. I know sometimes bodies just fucking suck and there's not much to be done, but please do make time to take care of yourself however that works best for you.
For the Map Makers series, let me see how terrible a state the most updated files are in. I think they're clean, but I honestly haven't looked at them in ages, and I'm happy to send a PDF over. Though I would need to beg forgiveness for any canon conflicts that come up. I tweaked a few of the magic system bits when I went into writing the current Ilbrea series.
Hmm...my aim is still to create an Ilbrea Substack leading up to the release of Falcon and Song. I wonder, if I went through and tweaked the canon to match, if it would be cool to post the younger YA story through that page, or if it would just confuse the fuck out of people since the rest of the books are so much more mature?

Hope you both have a great writing retreat thing!
