Hello there! I made this account a while ago but never got around to using it or saying hi. So, hi!
I'm Emma, a bi non-binary #indieauthor currently pulling myself back together after a sort of creative burnout by consuming large and producing small quantities of #fanfic
Some links etc downthread.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Naming characters and places in your book is tough, but remember, there's a hockey player named Ivan Ivan and a province named Newfoundland. You don't need to overthink it.

You don't need AI as an indie author, you need community. You need people who can help you when you're burning out (and vice versa, importantly). Trade labor with each other, beta read for one another, connect with editors and cover artists. Teach & learn. Help promote one another.

Wolf. At age 8 or 9. I feel like that’s entirely a me thing, though.
Name 1 movie from your childhood you were way too young to watch.

As we start romanticizing art & community again, can we also romanticize writing as a communal activity instead of a elitist loner one?
I write best with friends. I love sharing messy WIPs. The most rewarding part of writing is getting to see other people's reactions to what I've made.

I recently played and reviewed A Normal Lost Phone, if you are curious about it!
Here is my review:

I think these queer games are getting delisted because the company is going out of business, not related to censorship?, but still worth picking up!

I have a lot of books in the Smashwords End of Year Sale! It's likely this is one of the rare last time I drop books below $2.99 there (they will be lowering royalties next year) so if it's your store of choice, now's the time!

I guess a #tea #adventcalendar is as good of a thing as any to use to get used to this format again!
Day 1, Ceylon black tea. Nothing special but not bad.
Even tho I get why companies only make one format of calendar, having 25 days still kind of bothers me (as a Swede) :p
