Weirdly, nothing. 16-year-old me would be thrilled with 57-year-old me.

CONUNDRUM by Jan Morris, one of the first modern gender transition memoirs, is a fascinating bit of historical reading.

Some quick math tells me that should be about $4 per sold book donated, and depending on region $1 to a food bank is $7-10 worth of food. So $28-40 groceries per book sold. Not too shabby, plus you get a book (and also help feed me and contributors).

Click please!

I don't dream of my characters often, but in the case of my favorite Weird Luck character, Bianca, that was what inspired me to develop her in the first place: she appeared to me in a nightmare when I was 8 years old.

The city of Tal Sharnis, where the Weird Luck webcomic takes place, is surrounded by a vast chaos-warped wasteland called the Endless Plateau. What might motivate someone to risk venturing out there? We'll see eventually!

I know many new writers worry about how readers will receive their work. That’s a valid concern! That said, two things:

1. This gig is only worth it if you write what YOU want.

2. Some will hate your stuff, but some will like it. Your readers. They’re awesome. Write for them.

In my professional opinion as a therapist, it would be best if you read the Weird Luck webcomic and joined the Patreon. A free membership will do, your engagement in the story is what matters. This is for your own good.
