Today was the launch day for my debut novel. I celebrated by going out with friends and family to kpot and then playing mtg with more friends afterwards. It was a good day 😊. bookshop.org/a/116170/979...

Wrote about another 1k words for my debut's sequel. We're sitting at 4,542 wc total. My goal is to hit close to 10k by the end of the year. Of course, that means I need 5.5k in one month 😅. We'll see how that goes...

In case anyone wants to know, cause I did research on what pens are used for signing books and came up with SHARPIES 🫠, I used a Paper Mate Ink Joy gel 0.7 in green. I've had issues with it when writing for prolonged times in the past, but for signatures, it worked great with no bleed 👍.

Worked a bit on a friend Sim game today that I made with some friends earlier this year, including @fineline-feline.bsky.social . It was fun to shape it back into something playable with the looming deadline of the game jam far behind us.

The remainder of the extras I order for the Kickstarter are now up on my website! With the book launch being Nov. 15th, I'm trying to get everything ready! EBooks will be made available through my website on the 15th. Paperbacks will be available once I get stock in and send out backer orders.

Just sent out eBooks to backers yesterday!!!! So excited for people to start reading book 1! I'm taking a little break from writing so I can relax and get all of the Kickstarter orders sent out as soon as the physical books hit my doorstep. But I am at 3,429 words for book 2 currently!

I'm wondering how to go about including Native myths and culture in my writing. For the record, I'm part Cherokee but didn't grow up experiencing the culture much.
I'd love to include other tribes in my writing in a way that's honoring them, but also understandably fiction.

Just finished with some research. My rabbit hole led me from Bismuth -> Molybdenum mining operations -> Colorado -> the Ute Mountain Tribe -> Ute language (an academic paper behind a pay wall 😭)
So I guess that's it for the night.

I saw a post the other day that an author got a bad review because their book had no spice in it. I swear if I get a review like that, I might laugh. My debut is dark fantasy ya. My characters are around 16-17, with some a bit older. The most "spice" I have is two of them bonding over reading

I got the stickers for my Kickstarter extras today, so I'm packing them up into sticker packs!

Very excited for all my Kickstarter goodies to arrive plus the books and start getting stuff sent out for book 1! I'm excited to start working more heavily on book 2, but for now I've been jotting down notes and ideas as they come to me. I've got a pretty good outline going already.

I made my own little page break symbols! Inspired by my cover artists' little eyes, she added to the design. (Ignore the header, it'll be flipped in the final, I was messing around with formatting.)
