So.... I got 26 pages of feedback from my editor/beta reader, and the gist is that my book is not only marketable, but something that will make waves.

Does happiness feel like you are going to pass out from lack of blood to your brain?

TLDR: I'm dying of emotions, HELP

Was playing around with different scenes from my current WIP and really liked how this one turned out. My first time trying to draw a full image from one line, and let me tell you, it wasn't easy 😂

What does it mean to be human when humanity has already ended?

Fragments of Tomorrow explores identity, control, and love in a world reborn from ruin.
Hope is resistance. Humanity is a choice.

I'm one order away from hitting my goal of 10 pre-orders for my upcoming book. I want to celebrate, but I'm also worried that these are the only orders that I'm going to get.

The struggle is real! 😩😩

Got a "FUCK YOU!" from a beta reader for making them feel things.

Win for me? 😂

When your beta reader tells you that chapter one feels like it was written by a different person than the rest of the book...

I feel like I was a different person when I started this beast, so yeah, makes sense. 😂

I've been working on taking some of the scenes from Fragments of Tomorrow and drawing them to the best of my ability in order to advertise the book's release.

Releases this December.

The MC of my trilogy goes through many changes. From living in a society run by AI, to surviving the wasteland, there is a lot to learn about Ixe and their life.

First book: Fragments of Tomorrow releases this December.

Me: "You wrote an entire book in 2 months... Just edit the last 7 chapters already!"

My brain: "But... then it will be finished, and we can't have that."
