Should a novelette have chapters? Or are they brief enough to just kinda roll through it with a break between scenes?

Someone asked me about one of my favorite comics, Thorgal, and asked if they should read them.
To which I said yes………BUT, if they get the English cinebook ones, please let me help put them in the right reading order.
(they reprinted them from the normal books 1-2-3-4-etc to 7-3-5-9 because ARGHHH)

Seeing a lot of job openings where they look for people skilled in using ChatGPT.

I thought the whole point of GenAI was to bypass the need for skills?

Wishing our friends at Subterranean Press the best of luck while they work with Amazon to get this straightened out. You can also buy their ebooks direct from them at subterraneanpress.com. (Cutting Amazon out of the picture.)
A quick note on the availability of our ebooks...

I have 14 blank pages left in this notebook for outlines.
What to outline next? One more novel? We'll see.
Little post halloween tidbit: ive had this notebook for years, purchased at a Disneypark. It kinda just laid there for years.

Last year, I used it to outline 5 novels, working on a 6th and scribbled concepts for 3 novelettes.

I also plotted out my first short story collection in it.

Thanks Jack

Ya gotta work on comics pages but you're too tired to go on?
Do the panel borders. Relaxing and least stressful part for me.

(But seriously, if you're tired, rest up. Pages will be there tomorrow).

Ah, one of those "drawing until you hit a point you think the whole thing is terrible and want to trash the whole thing" nights.

So anyway, redrawing this arm from scratch.

Reading up on Greek myth, it has mostly been me going "Dayum, Zeus." and "Dayum, Aphrodite" every few pages.

Hey, I'm going to be honest, I've had some rotten luck these last couple months. About three different projects got cancelled, so, if you need covers, pages, posters, album art, and you like my style, please consider hiring me.

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.

If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

With being half off in the Itch bundle, my latest collection Rage from a Cage contains some of my favorite short fiction pieces.
'Teeth' is a personal favorite of mine.
Bundle also includes: Rage from a Cage. 30 short stories of angry #scifi, #horror and #darkfantasy. Stories of kicking and screaming and destruction…and a sprinkle of hope. Includes some of my favorite stories like 'Teeth' and 'Days of Hate'.

My wife explained to me that among construction workers, the golden rule was 'never let people know x bothers you, because they'll never stop needling you if it irks you'.

It's funny how true that is with the richest man in the world, pissy over one comment that hit too close to home.
