The artist I got a commission from uploaded what she made me on her page and the video was disqualified from the FYP for “unoriginal” content (and click app doesn’t like his shirt being off— despite all the thirst traps everywhere)
It’s a fight to get views up when that gets flagged.

Haven’t been as active on here as I probably should be😅
It’s been a bit.
I have some fun things about writing progress.
I’m on to round one of Re-writes 😅
Estimated 90ish hours. (Which should take anywhere from 30-40 days :)
We’ll see.

More things for Welcome To Edwin~
#paranormalfantasyromance
Text reads: Death is supposed to be simple. Being a medium complicates it. A lot. For the background: A faded filter over a picture of a woman with long red hair is standing by a lamppost looking across the street where a shadow of a man stands on the roof with a glowing appearance and aura. A woman with long, wavy red hair, in a green jacket and jeans is standing in the dark holding a flashlight. Behind her, is the hazy image of a man with light brown curly hair reaching towards her. His image is slightly translucent with a blue aura to give him the appearance of being a ghost. The text reads: Adam is dead. But his spirit still lingers.

When Jenna flees to the island of Edwin to flee her past, she starts to uncover more and more secrets. About the town that, for its size has a lively night life. About her late (ex?) boyfriend. And the scariest part: secrets about her past she’d rather keep buried.

Excuse me while I’ll ogle and fangirl over my character art.
Alt text included this time. <3!
#paranormalfantasy #selfpublishing
#vampires #ghosts
An illustration of a woman with long red hair and brown eyes, holding a flashlight at night. A hand hovers in the air behind her head. An illustration of a male vampire baring his fangs. He has brown hair and red eyes. An illustration of a man with silvery-brown eyes and curly light brown hair. He’s slightly transparent and glowing a soft blue to give the appearance he’s a ghost. Illustration: Left to right: Adam: a tall man wearing a red flannel and black t-shirt, and jeans with a hole in the knee. He has light brown curly hair, and silvery brown eyes. He is glowing blue and is slightly transparent to give the appearance he’s a ghost. He’s reaching out towards Jenna’s hair. Middle: Jenna- shorter than Adam, she’s a a woman with long red hair, brown eyes and freckles. She’s wearing layered jackets. Top layer dark green, bottom layer blue, with a dark shirt underneath. With blue jeans. She’s holding a flashlight towards the distance. Right: taller than both Jenna and Adam, Thomas is standing protectively close to Jenna, baring his vampire fangs. He has semi-long brown hair, with the hints of grey starting at the edges of his fringe. His eyes are glowing red with hints of grey to them. He’s wearing a business style attire. (Dark blue button up shirt with dark slacks.) All three are standing in the woods at night, and a glimpse of police causation tape can be seen in the bottom left corner.

Trump has officially signed 25% tariffs on Canada & Mexico, & 10% on China. One exemption is oil from Canada will only have a 10% tariff. Costs for Americans WILL go up. Costs to purchase a car, electronics, clothing, gas, prescriptions & toys will go up. It’s said this will take effect on Tuesday.

Texas is one of the country's testing grounds for anti-library legislation and many states have attempted to duplicate their legislation.

We're tracking 14 anti-library bills in the state.

As a kid, I had an Alphasmart that was for school work. But I often used a file or two towards writing fanfic. I’d have it out typing away waiting for the bus. I’d be sitting on a curb, and just in my own little world.

Taking a brief break from the stress of this day to ask authors:

Where is the most unusual place you've ever worked on writing a book?

For me, it would have to be writing at the tattoo shop while my tattoo was in progress.

Two very cute beagles who love their shirts.
If you ask them about a shirt they get super excited. And if you pick one up they run to you and will get in the way of eschother when you’re trying to put it on them.
Two beagles sitting side by side with shirts on. One is in a Halloween mummy shirt, and the other is in a bright orange “sweatshirt” looking shirt.

Once I’m at my computer I’m updating my substack icon.
On of my friends teases me how I’m constantly up at some ungodly hour lol.
“Lea up at the witching hour again. Surprise surprise.” 😂
There’s something peaceful about 2am.
Check out the link to my substack below :)

Okay. Writer things.
I agonized back and forth for months on what direction of publication I wanted to take for my book. Trad. Indie. Serialized on Substack.

I’ve finally decided.

Going indie baby!!

So mad about tik tok being banned. I know it’s not a done deal yet… that there’s still a few days left till there’s a final announcement. I’m still so mad and sad. :/
