A marketing graphic with a soft pink background and faded foliage. The main text reads: You have called us and we wish to respond, but you are tainted. We can give you what you desire. Do you accept? Followed by a broken heart gem. The bottom text reads: Available in paperback and ebook. Free preview available at sarahclowder.com The cover, at the center and to the left, is for Fools Rush In by Sarah Clowder (art by Amanda Robin @robinade ). It features an older elf woman sitting slouched in a red chair with a ruby necklace. In one hand, a goblet of wine is spilling into a grinning puddle, the other holds a sword with the same broken hearted gem as the graphic.

And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.

The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

Mining all my old romance art, for an B+W zine-artbook-thing.

Yet to find out exactly how much greyscale the printer can do, but it’ll be a fun restricted challenge regardless!

Wife: Man, I can't even imagine being 6 ft tall
Me: You couldn't be 6 ft because you'd get motion sick!
Wife: So THAT'S why I'm short! I've figured it out! I was made short because I'd get motion sick!!!

Women want one thing *, and it's yucky.

* retirement. Please let Leslie retire. Let her finally have a nap.
The cover for Fools Rush In, art by itsrobinade . It has gold filigree along the edges. The text from top to bottom reads: Book 1 of the Fools Trilogy. FOOLS RUSH IN. Sarah Clowder. The image features an older elven woman sitting in a red chair with a goblet spilling wine into a smiling puddle, and a sword with a glowing heart at the hilt. Behind her is a foggy background mostly concealing a large vault door.

Picture of a bright orange t-shirt in close up to see a very colorful frog surrounded by brightly-colored dots in an abstract pattern. The frog is basically dark brown but is covered with dashes and dots in bright colors to form pleasing patterns.

a lot of internalized isms come to the fore when the conversation around artists being paid and piracy comes around. blockbusters, videogames, official merchandise for overculture releases and the internet excites : an independent creator asks for $9 dollars for an epub and people recoil.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting next to Green, who has curled up into a tight ball, looking miserable. Green: Would you still love me if I never got better? Blue hesitates a moment before answering. Blue: What a silly thing to ask. Joining Green on the floor, Blue wraps himself around Green, who doesn't seem as sad anymore. Blue: I would love you even if you got worse.

Photo of a 30x25cm wide painting with a black wolf in it. There are colorful ornamental frames with different shapes going around the sides. There are squares, dots, stars and flowers. In the middle on a dark cyan background there is black wolf standing whose head is split in half, in a non gory way. There is a tall red flower growing between the halves. The background also has some other similar flowers and stars. The wolf is staring at the viewer with piercing yellow eyes.
