So much has been happening in my personal life. I feel disoriented and overwhelmed and hopeless, and I don't foresee an end to any of it. I'm so sorry...

Let's be honest, I'm not good enough to earn anything from my writing, even if the technical things work out. No one's going to read it, and if they do, they certainly won't enjoy it. I've had it proven to me time and time again that nobody likes me or anything I create. I should keep it to myself.

I found three different typos just from skimming that I somehow missed over countless sessions of editing. Should I give up or publish it anyway? I've already sent it out to get the copyright approved, so there's no turning back now, unfortunately...

Quinn, without a doubt.
Jean has a difficult time with self-love just like Quinn, but at least they can accept the love that others give them. Quinn, however, feels as though they aren't deserving of love because of lifelong guilt over things they can't control.

Demarcus was, briefly. His parents kicked him out a little while before his first year of uni, so until he could move into the dorm, he was on his own. He managed to get financial help from his extended family later on, even though they live far away.

Complaining post. Might delete later.
I really don't like the situation I'm in...I can't afford to have someone else help me with Intertwined, be they a beta reader, an editor, a designer, what have you, and going the traditional route is simply not an option.

Writing Tip:
As a writing exercise, try making up your own fictional term. It can be anything from your fictional world (noun, verb, etc). Then, try to use it in a couple of sentences as a trial run. See if it actually sounds right, or if it just sounds like nonsense.

Intertwined is effectively about two non-binary weirdos (/affectionate) and their respective friends and partners experiencing The Horrors. This bodes extremely well for Jean especially, trust me. :) I'm normal. :)

No tricks only treats today and the best one—you all! Fr a lot of writing places on the internet are cliquey and homophobic, just straight up terrible. But even tho our writing fam is small on here, it’s the best one around. So!! My lgbt+ writers, tell me about your books!! 📚

The thing about my OCs that's good to know is they are all flawed I don't write perfect characters. I don't write perfect societies. They all have issues & problems & things that don't make sense. I love writing flawed characters & seeing how they grow from those flaws or how they bring them to ruin

A gorgeous little Marsh Tit looking straight at the camera. These lil cuties are currently red listed in the UK and need our help to recover their numbers. Creating more wildlife corridors will help them tremendously!

Sorry ghost traditionalists but haunting people while you’re still alive is just better. Like I have this friend who borrowed a book a while ago and never returned it, and the other night I followed him around his house opening his kitchen cabinets and booing him, and you know what? Got my book back

It was perhaps one of the worst months of my life, but I pulled through, and I managed to complete my first book!
I'm sincerely hoping for the best for the future.
