ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?
It's literally called Library Extension.

“It takes a special energy, over and above one’s creative potential, a special audacity or subversiveness, to strike out in a new direction once one is settled.”

The older I get, the less I care about pleasing the algorithm. Some of my favorite artists don't have tens of thousands of followers or hundreds of likes, and they still make brilliant work! So I'm gonna continue to make whatever I feel like making and share as much of it as often as I want. 💁♂️
