#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

buy art, talk about creative works, boost creator's works and ways to pay them, be passionate about creative works. Reblog that art, tell that writer you love their work, give them money if you are able, make their comms and patreons and such visible to those who can pay if you are unable to.

Had a spam request on Instagram today, gushing about my Spirit Seeker series and how much she wants to draw the spirit world, after I captured the theme of loss & grief so well...

Girl, the only thing the nature spirits in that series are grieving is the progression of climate change! 🙄

Happy #TeaserTuesday! There's only 5 weeks until WWW Weather? 😁 Here's one of my favourite sentences of the book.

“Earth magic steadies air mages. Earth magic in an air witch is like binding a stone around a bird’s neck. It’s cruel.”

You can pre-order the book here: books2read.com/wyldwitch1

😱 Guys, it's done!

A few incoherent thoughts:
- biggest book of the series (only barely, though)
- there's an epilogue
- I cried
- several times
- but I also pumped my fist in the air and led a revolution... or well, let Alix lead one. 😁

Pulled off an absolute mad writing/prep day, alternating a scene of writing with a big prep job. Managed my goal of 6.5k and only have one task left now, which I'll get a good chunk in at least.

Now up to the finale of the second act. Even with going away tomorrow, PG9 feels possible now! 🥰

My writing day so far...

Made it into flow state
Had to leave for 3 hours to sit outside a birthday party
Made it into flow state
Had to take other child to dentist
Didn't make it into flow state until ages in
Dinner...

Oh well, 1.5 hours left in this day. Let's go! 😅

It's done! I've plotted the heck out of the second part of Ghosts of the Revolution. Finale, here we come!
How I know it's the finale? Just look at this not-even-complete cast list for chapter 36. 🤪

A screenshot of Plottr from Chapter 33, which takes place in "Public" with a very long list of characters, among them several historical figures as ghosts, such as Marie Curie, Victor Hugo, Catherine de Medici and many many more.

Finally had a bit of a plot flow - sorting all the puzzle pieces into order. Got access to 12 more chapters with only 3-4 to go after that - but I'll figure those out tomorrow. 😴

#wipwednesday a good, steady week despite being bogged down by too many side quests and growing pressure from the looming con week 😬

BUT I'm officially out of plot!
