Seems like I got so mad at that Copy Cat game that I'm writing a story basically about how I wish it went. I do get inspired by media sometimes. Like me always wanting to write a story that gives me the same vibes as cowboy bebop or trigun or kid Icarus or SpongeBob or monsters vs aliens.

My family wants me to use AI for illustrations. I keep telling them it's disrespectful to the artists who work hard on illustrations. The only time I can understand the use of AI in writing is for grammer, facts, or if you're stuck but even so, I'd recommend just reading books or asking around.

Fun Fact: While I sometimes like to write in a range of ethnicities, some of my characters such as Kirsty in Even Angels Have Flaws and two future short stories I'm writing are left ethnically ambiguous so that everyone can project onto them.

It's getting a little easier to write picture books now, but man is it stressful to keep it under a certain word count. My PBs always end up being on the long side.

Guess I'm going to have to watch Never Have I Ever and read You're Welcome Universe and Crying in the Bathroom for tips on how to write a Mexican-Indian-American character. I don't usually consume those kinds of media so...
