Sure! Unfortunately I can’t afford commissions currently, but if you like the stories and feel inspired, I’d love to see what you come up with :)

I wish! Unfortunately I’m not much of a visual artist (yet), nor are any of my current audience
“Sa” and a dog named Rinty are the only characters visualized in my 2nd edition, which has chapter page images

self-published 5 "books" total. 2 versions of a novel, a play collection, a short story book, and a poetry collection. I've delisted 3 of the books, and I'm republishing the novel and play collection as new editions :) I'm also publishing short stories to my Substack and Kindle Unlimited soon

The morning routine is enough for me to do my minimum daily goal, along with keeping my daily "streak" alive. Then in the afternoons, I try to make more time for work, and the sticky notes and affirmations I'll use any time of day if I'm feeling a little off :)

Definitely routine. I make myself do what I told myself I would, by putting it first thing in the morning 😂 as for mindset shifts, I do that a lot too. I have sticky notes and affirmations :)

A lot of writers struggle to delete what needs cut. But if you can do that, you’ll always have a leg up. Great work!

Awesome work! Reminds me of a saying, “if the path ahead of you is paved, then it isn’t your path” :)

On the 11th, I'll post the beginning of it here and on my Substack. Anyone who wants to read the rest can get it by DMing me, and it'll also be available on Kindle Unlimited shortly after :) I'm very excited!
And yeah, it's totally just a harmless prank... nothing to be afraid of... r-right? 😅
