I’ve made a discord server that’s exclusively for sharing social media/blog posts related to books 📖 no chatting, just keeping up with books and helping fellow readers and authors share their content when the algo doesn’t shine on them 💖

This morning for the art forum, I recreated the upcoming Sando cover with 2 free phone apps 🎉
No AI used. About 25 minutes. I did need a chip clip to pin my hair in the photo.
To procrastinate more, I made a similar one with different colors angles.

Today’s experiment for the create-your-own-cover channel on the art discord:
Making a photo look like an illustration
Also turning yourself into an elf…
Do I write or read about elves? No. I am elfed out. But there will always be room in my heart for Lord of the Rings.
Time: 30 minutes

I was looking through my photos for something else and found this. I feel like I have a talent.
Idk what use it is or how to apply it properly to marketing, but it’s something 😅
I feel like I should be trying to sell this concept to an exterminator lol
“A long time ago, from a country far🧵

Adding another book to the TBR this morning after reading the first 6 chapters from the sample 🔥
No, it's not a SPFNO book, and I intended to only read one chapter, but y'all know I love Mad Max and this is giving Mad Max 1.5 level of apocalypse: civilization is in the process of collapsing 🧵

Much like the Oxford comma, the vocative comma is basically useless (imo) until it’s not 😅 and when it’s not, it can lead to mixups!
This comma needs more attention, and would probably get it if it didn’t have such a stuffy name. I think this one seems more fitting!

I made a similar post this morning on Twitter, but from a different angle 😂 I think that the adoption of exclamation commas and question commas would make the distinction between tags and beats clearer. Still, CMOS says no 🥴
I’ve never had much of an opinion on the two spaces issue though 🤷♀️
