That moment when you write an entire book and then think you've wasted months of your life is hard. Time to push through the redraft stages and find the gems hidden inside. #booksky #writer #indieauthor

Truth!

Things I want to do in 2026 (aside from, you know, generally survive, afford to live, spend time with my children etc.):
- Publish my second book
- Publish the third (hopefully)
- Improve my drawing skills
- Start reading & making zines

Open to any and all zine recommendations! #zine #art

I've swapped from using my phone as a bookmark to using another book as a bookmark.
Meanwhile, I have a stack of actual bookmarks on the shelf.

New blog post — StoryOrigin founder Evan Gow on how to grow an author newsletter!

Can't afford books?

1) bookfunnel/storyorigin/mybookcave giveaways. I think you can search on mybookcave. I know I have a few listed.

2) Become an ARC reader. Read/leave reviews/rinse repeat

3) Your local library has both electronic and dead tree books.

There's so much available. Don't steal.

I thought one cat being sick and RUNNING at the same time was bad, but a few days later her brother did it OVER THE RADIATOR! FML. The joy of #cats.

My #speculativefiction ebook is in the @smashwords.bsky.social sale until the end of the month, and only $1.24! If you like strong women fighting against the confines of an authoritarian government, then maybe this is for you. #dystopian #ebook

Diving into my first Bluesky post like this little fur ball.
