I hope you fail.
I'm so beyond "we're all in this together!" toxic positivity stuff of the writing "community". You were never part of communities. You destroy them.

For a while, I thought Lululemon was pronounced Lu-lu-le-mon. Like a Digimon.
So look out for the latest iteration of Angewomon squeezed into yoga pants.

Does anyone re-read your old work and fall in love with it?
Was supposed to be doing my audio book recording and found myself lost in my own story for a few hours.
Some days the imposter syndrome is strong, and other days I am impressed I wrote a paragraph of cohesive sentences.

I think the thing that scares some people is that no matter what we do, it ultimately amounts to nothing. You don't keep your cash after you pass. Legacies never last. The Earth won't be here in a few billion years.
Write because you love it. Nothing else matters.

Results. Drawing and posting my own original non-AI character art related to my books for 2 1/2 months led to a drop in followers. Oh, no! 🤷🏼♀️
I work hard and I may not be proud of everything I draw, but I keep it real. At least you know I work hard on everything and am not a bot. Beep boop.

I'm convinced that the the only difference between those who like anthros and furries vs those who like romantasy and Omegaverse fiction with dragons and werewolves and wolves doing the diddly is that the majority of Furries are male and the majority of Booktok is female.

Dear authors, when the Booksky crowd asks for sci-fi or fantasy recs, what they really want is a thing with romance in it like everything that is popular on Booktok.
Stop wasting your time on these people and market to someone who cares.

Not exactly the most paired of images, but these are both towards the end of the book "Duality of Forces" (come read it!)
As a visual, it was to compare both Fatality's defensive structure vs Bass' utterly lethal attack structure. Brother vs sister, and the few times you can tell

First time doing Halloween in the new house. I was "optimistic". Got 30 Purdy's chocolate "lollipops" (aka, coveted candy), and hoped for decent turnout. Atmospheric river showed up because Vancouver = Raincouver, almost no kids did.
Got 4 kids. That's it. Ouch.

Both of these photo manipulations used photos taken in my kitchen on the same day. One for the story "Hippopotamus Domesticus" and the other for "Duality of Forces" (see author page). Same approach, different results. No AI.

"Trudge" was one of the scene-relevant images I drew back in 2015 for the book "Duality of Forces". I later wanted it as a potential book cover.
