Lilla Matilda ,

Wonderfully fun

I’m one of those people who found NaNo thanks to Kristina’s YouTube videos back in the day (like... almost ten years ago?), and I’ve always loved how unashamedly hyped both of these ladies are to write, both through November, but perhaps more importantly through the rest of the year.
If you need someone who’s excited to see you write more, or just someone to guide you through the NaNoWriMo craziness, you couldn’t ask for a better pair!
