I struggle a lot with Trans Day of Remembrance because of the mass shooting here at a TDoR gathering a few years back.
But I think a lot about Vera Blossom's prayers for all trans girls: to survive, to love, to find happiness. And I repeat them myself every year at this time.

I’m not promoting smoking, but I do enjoy a tobacco pipe while writing. Some of my favourite scenes were written while peering through a thin wisp of smoke. It helps me channel my inner Tolkien. I find it particularly helpful in tavern scenes lol.

Absolutely agree! Sometimes even the published ones teach you.
I’d argue my first published book, Dragonkin, is my weakest. I think I’m a much better writer than I was when I published it in 2021, and I regret not hacking that thing to pieces more and rewriting more. I was too attached to my first

I absolutely get how hard it is to write a book when you know your skill level isn't high enough to pull it off the way you want... but the way you get better is by writing more books.
Here's some of my learning novels that never got published.
1. Endangerous: killer manatees attack during a storm

There are people who say “I would sell my soul to write a book that good” who aren’t willing to write the four or five shitty books that stand between them and the good one.

UPDATE: This years been tough. Life’s thrown me some curveballs. I lost someone very important to me earlier this year. But I’m back, I’m here, and I’m coming back to the indie author game swinging!
I’ve got two WIPs on the go and I’m chugging along at them again.
I want to network, meet new indie

a one star doesn't mean someone didn't read your book and it doesn't mean it's a bot and it doesn't mean you have haters. it means that they didn't vibe with your book. that's it. and that's okay. stop letting goodreads get to you. it's for READERS.

I grew up being told monopolies were illegal, only to watch singular companies buy up any competition until they own their own industry
Monopolies are bad for growth, creativity, progress, innovation, and the ability to have options.
What they're great for is absorbing competition and increasing profit margins at the expense of people.

Day 3 - Enchanted Weapons & Armour
In Enayra, armour and weapons are often enchanted to increase their durability. Swords can hold a sharpening for longer, and can better resist chipping or breaking and can even cut through things that normal swords couldn't.
