Welcome to Debbie's Blatherings, a place for my posts that are too long for social media but I feel are a tad too casual or fleeting for my regular website blog. Some may be edited and moved to my website eventually but I yearned for a place in which it was more fun to create and also wasn't constantly pushing me to monetize.

For those who don't know me: I'm Debbie Ridpath Ohi. Once upon a time, I was a systems programmer for a bank. Now I write and illustrate for young people. If you'd like to find out more about me, visit DebbieOhi.com. You can also subscribe to my monthly Author News (also a Leaflet publication).
