So I did the thing before I chickened out (or came to my senses) and threw up a GFM as a stop gap measure. I hate doing it more than anyone will hate seeing another fund raiser.

wanna throw in that comments are especially valuable right now. not for lame algorithm meanings, but because they're the most likely to make the artist feel good. i've seen a lot of artists quitting because they don't get any meaningful feedback, so they don't see a reason to bother posting. (1/2)
✨ HOW TO: support artists for $0.00 ✨
- leave a like!
- repost their work - more eyes!!
- comment on their posts! (an emoji goes a long way!)
all of this means so much to artists and helps immensely!! just a reminder that support does NOT always have to be financial 🥰🤍✨

Maybe it’s because I’m a state legislator, but I’m worried about the under reaction here. She didn’t spend the night on the House floor. She’s being DETAINED AGAINST HER WILL BY REPUBLICANS UNTIL SHE FOLLOWS THEIR ORDERS. This is 🦇 💩

And while it is another expense, most domains are pretty cheap.
Indie Author Pro-Tip Of the Day: Have your own domain.
I know it seems intimidating & yet another expense for your author business. But it is invaluable. You need to have your own plot of digital land that you and only you control. This is especially important for ✨ Backmatter ✨

Murder by Memory is out in 9 days! But if you want sapphic stories right now — and who doesn’t? — you can also pick up a whole historical romance trilogy with bi/pan/lesbian heroines, plus a novella with a Christmas poultry show. And an m/f paranormal romance duology with demons. And more!

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).
Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).
Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
