I’m now on Patreon!
I had some bad news this week, which means my publishing plans have had to change - I’m going it alone!
I’ll still be editing Indie Bites, don’t worry, but for my own cozy fantasy novels, novellas, and collections, I’ll be publishing as Witch Hart Books.

This is absolutely crucial advice. Read it. Read it again. Repeat it to yourself. Do not allow yourself to be overloaded. OVERLOAD IS A DELIBERATE TACTIC.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

lmao that's more or less exactly why my coauthor and I pulled the trigger on writing our romance novel
I think if you’re a young person (or an older person frankly) considering some kind of creative project, the state of the world is more or less “fuck it we ball” like, you might as well

This is a helpful thread of advice about blocking, the whole follow back weird drama and a lot of other stuff that is escalating.
1. Block block block. The nuclear block here works - blocked accounts disappear from your timeline and your mentions disappear from theirs. Blocking anyone who behaves badly to anyone is a great way to avoid bad vibes taking over. Be aware that blocks are public and can be seen via 3rd party sites.

I don’t want to get famous writing, I just want to know that my stories connect with people. Make them laugh, think, maybe feel something. I want my books to be useful to people because I love people.
