Bagel, the bodega cat, had a deal with the world. He didn’t change it, and it didn’t change him. Seemed simple enough. He was content to go with the flow.

Me reading a litRPG author's bio: "...has been captivated by stories of LitRPG and progression fantasy since his childhood..."
Me, wondering how this could be true when the genres are so new... and then realizing this author is in their early 20's and both have existed for 15 years: *turns to dust*

Also guys if you're a newer author, I've set up something we call launchapalooza to show newer authors how to launch. It's an official Novelizing event though some people are launching on Royal Road. Roughly 60 authors from new to professional are launching new works on December 6th!

Increasingly I'm of the opinion that intelligence is useless without the confidence to say "I can figure this out for myself," the patience to review the subject carefully, the security to be willing to try and fail, and the determination to then try again.

oh wow, the early reports are that the new Tron movie isn’t doing very well at the box office. this is wild, because the last Tron movie didn’t do very well at the box office, and also the very first Tron movie didn’t do very well at the box office and also neither of those first two were very good.

The warnings I'd give for my series are: foul language and innuendo. Some sexy stuff is implied to happen off screen for various characters and the adults talk about it indirectly, as one does around kids.
One positive: most litRPG is on Kindle Unlimited, so you can try it out cheaply!

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you
You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

One of the most noticeable differences in Amsterdam (and Europe in general) from the US is how much more relaxed and slower the pace of life is here. It's not unusual for folks to just chill and hang out at a café for hours. In the US is always a rush to eat and turnover the table.

But also writing a scene from Bodega Cat Volume 3: The battle for Staten Island reminds me how hard it would be to mount a machine gun on a ferry.

There are excellent books in these bundles. Buying them is a way to tell Itch.io that their treatment of LGBT and NSFW creators isn't acceptable.

We're disabled and queer. 🏳️🌈 We sell our writing to eat.
We launched two book sales — each has 20 books for $30. Itch bowed to conservative pressure, and hid them without warning.
