This is actually a smart move. Self-publishing lets you keep creative control, and offering spaceship art or orthographic turns your 3D skills into unique fan experiences. It’s more than just covers, it’s a way to deepen engagement and create extra value. Definitely more galaxy-brained than risky.

I really relate, writing like this, almost compulsively, usually means you’re onto something special. Keep following that drive; the words themselves are already a victory. If you ever want to chat about the process or just share ideas, I’d love to DM you

Sorry to hear about the Hell Pig re-release, Anthony. These things happen, but the book already has a strong reputation. A self-published edition could be a great way to bring it back on your own terms.

Love how each marker tells its own story, the dragon, the kraken, the griffin, the pegasus. They make the map feel alive

Drafting my next chapter intro the old-fashioned way, by hand. It’s a great way to reconnect with the rhythm of the story before moving to the keyboard.

Some experiences shape us in ways words can only trace. Research becomes reflection, and reflection becomes art. Every poem is an echo, some return to us, others fade into the quiet sky.
