I still really love these 2 concepts! Might revisit these someday... #booksky #fantasy

The temptation to just self-publish Goulinn and get the book out there right now is gnawing at my soul. I've had the cover staring me in the face for months.
I'm only a month out from starting to work officially with the publisher. Just gotta be patient... #booksky

Today I said goodbye to one of my best friends of the last 16 years. Thank you, Magnet, for sharing your life with our family.

Still one of my favorite arcs in One Piece. Light-hearted and fun while also revving up the real danger of Alabasta.
And Zoro being a badass in Whiskey Peaks never gets old.

@hiss-graphics.bsky.social made a graph describing the relationship dynamics between each pair of characters in Goulinn and I mean... I don't think I can argue this. I think this is just facts.

This is one of those questions I want to answer in ridiculous detail but it would spoil so much. The short answer is: how driven they each are in their own ways and why.
I cannot wait until this book is in print so I can start telling you guys about them!

Absolutely incredible new fight @monsterhunter.capcomusa.com ! The Wilds / FF collab brought an amazing fight. My friends and I wiped to it all night but darn it, we got closer with every hunt! I'm running it back again tomorrow but props where they're due - that fight is AMAZING!

The publisher expressed interest in picking up Goulinn! They're not accepting submissions until December though, so it'll be a little longer than I'd planned on before I can start sharing this story with you all. Still, exciting stuff! #booksky

If you have to outsource your communications to the people closest to you to an unthinking, unfeeling machine, you no longer deserve to have people close to you.
Actually fuck that, at this stage, you're no longer people.

Got some more roughs for my book's art back from @hiss-graphics.bsky.social today! I'm not sharing most of them because they're spoilers, but I just... I had to share this.
Being an author means I get to put scenes like this in an action-adventure story and you can't stop me! #booksky #bookart

Never thought I'd be a "fear of failure" kind of person, but the closer I get to publishing my book, the more I want to push the deadline back.
I think I've got too much of my self-worth wrapped up in my work. But it's what I've got.
This old sketch of Ruby from @hiss-graphics.bsky.social gets it.

I'm ok with this. A little Naruto-heavy but at least it's the only two cool characters from that franchise.
