Ranger, my foster fail, offers editing support. Generally he likes to paw at my laptop and add extra characters where they don't belong. He's an Australian Cattle Dog x Malinois x Dutch Shepherd mix, so he's kind of an asshole.

Wow! This is stunning!

Scythe & Sparrow was great! The entire trilogy was funny and clever. And now I want a pet raccoon...

I really enjoyed Rook & Rebel. Wolf.e by Paisley Hope is another great MC read that I enjoyed. And Ashley Munoz has some great ones, but they aren't quite as dark!

All my other social networks are filled with people like me in #marketing and #publicrelations, which is fine but I'm so pumped to broaden who I follow beyond my profession.

So far this reminds me of Twitter of 2009! Community and conversation 💜

I am childfree with a dog so intelligent that it's scary. I foster failed this guy. He is 50% Australian Cattle Dog and 50% Malinois x Dutch Shepherd. I'm not sure who thought mixing these breeds together was a good idea because it wasn't. He could solve an escape room faster than I could....

Love this! I always say "progress over perfection."

I'm a recovering perfectionist and I've learned over the years that I can't perfect something that isn't yet on paper!

If you want some recommendations on the easier tutorials to start with, let me know! LMA doesn't sell paint anymore so I could recommend a simple palette of paint too.

I love watercolor because it challenges my perfectionist tendencies! Can't control watercolor!

I have the same problem 🤣 I asked for stained glass materials for Christmas and I impulsively bought a Cricut last summer.

They have an atmospheric landscape digital kit on their website that uses a limited paint color palette if you like this particular style. Less colors = easier to learn.

I am informally writing a romantasy. I started writing at the end of October and I'm writing daily (so far) ... Sometimes like 2 sentences and sometimes for 6 hours.

My goal isn't to finish by the end of Nov though. I have a weeklong work trip and I want to focus on quality over quantity!

Thank you! I learned through tutorials offered by Let's Make Art. I only started painting in 2020. Before that I never felt I had natural artistic talent. They have a ton of free tutorials on YouTube if you want to try it out!
