Introducing Ivy Introspective

Today I’ll be introducing a new book … Ivy Introspective! . . . Yes, it’s just a remodeled Ivy Inquisitive. Since when are you so insightful? 😀 I’ve figured out a beginning, middle, and end, I have a very good idea of what I want to do with the plot, and I’m going to be writing […]
