I’m floating outside your window at night like a vampire, tapping on the glass, but it’s just so I can ask if you remembered to leave a review for the indie book you just read

Being in a perpetual state of autistic burnout is crazy because if you handle it too well, everyone perceives you as being totally fine and it gets much harder to advocate for accommodations or explain why it's not feasible to regularly repeat an activity you managed to just barely tolerate once.

Most POV characters in 🏳️🌈 dragon riders WIP have either thought about revenge or revenge is a big part of their storyline. The only one this doesn’t apply to is Kel. He’s too busy trying to make sure the last heir to the throne doesn’t get killed. Not because he’s still in love with him or anything..
How does your MC feel about revenge? Is there anybody they want to take out? Do they think it would be satisfactory? #WritingPrompt

I will never use AI for my covers, editing, translation, or anything else. It is not only useless to me as an author, it is actively hostile and harms every skill related to book production.
If you're an author against AI used to generate writing, you better back everyone else in the chain too.
