Made With Human Intelligence In a world dominated by ai, it's nice to have something human made.

I originally made this design to use in future books, but I decided to also add it as a shirt design. So, support a human author/artist and get a "Made With Human Intelligence" shirt. #merch #humanmade #indieauthor #artists #supporthumanartists

New skill unlocked. Guess who learned to rebind books. The original cover for this was flaking and I decided it wasn't worth it to waste a perfectly good text block. So my favorite copy of "The Hobbit" has been saved. #bookbinding #books #rebindingbooks

It's Not a Competition, You Just Want Validation Yes, this is about gen ai...

Not sure how many people will be interested in reading this, but I've been writing some articles about my thoughts on ai in the author space and especially the Coral Hart situation. Give them a read #writing #writingcommunity #authors

Saving an Old Favorite - Learning How to Bind Books
Saving an Old Favorite - Learning How to Bind Books YouTube video by C.A. Haan Writing & Bookish Things

Been learning how to rebind books so I can save my old books, but it's mostly so I can rebind one of my copies of "The Hobbit" that's flaking on the cover and I didn't want to mess it up...so I started with a different book. #bookbinding #bookrebinding #books

Now that I've published my horror short story "Late Night Knocking" to KDP, I decided it was time to give it a new cover. When in doubt, sometimes just taking a photo of your bedroom door, adding a color filter and vignette, and then some text is the best cover. OG photo vs. final cover below

The link to the updated ebook for "Dark Pine Tales of Terror" is now in the taplink. You can always find the taplink in my bio. More places to find the ebook should be popping up on the page soon. It's still publishing to some platforms, so please be patient. #books #indieauthor

I made a handful of posts on Threads about it, but I learned how much people don't like pdf ebooks and why they don't. I was shown how they look on screens and I decided to unpublish the original ebook of Dark Pine to make an epub version instead of the pdf.

Important Update: I unpublished Dark Pine from KDP and put together a new ebook for it using Reedsy and published it through Draft2Digital. Once the link for it's up I'll add it to the taplink. I learned about how bad pdf ebooks are so I worked on a new epub file. It won't have the art #books

I was using Figma, but I realized when I went to publish that I had to pay for the subscription to publish, and the prices are not in my budget. I was looking into buying a domain and found some more affordable plans. So I might go fully free in Canva while I figure out which host to use.

Taking this from my Threads, but I started playing around with site building in Canva the other night. Not using any of the ai features. Just free assets and things I've made in the past for old shops. I do like the freedom it gives you to move things around. #sitedesign #authorlife

Even reading through the new first chapter I can already tell I've come a long way. I'm more confident in how I write. I'm not trying to sound like an author, if that makes any sense. I'm proud of myself for being able to come back to this story and do it justice and make it what I knew it could be

Finished the first chapter of the rewrite for my book "the Collectors" the other night. Using the last draft I wrote back in 2023 as a guide. Reading through that last draft makes me proud of how far I've come as a writer. It definitely sounded like I was putting on an author voice in that draft

Since the handle changes, I want to make a quick note that all of my art, unless it's related to my books, will be on the new @chrissytinat.bsky.social handle now that this one is under my pen name and will be focusing on writing and bookish things. #art #artists #digitalartists

I've started updating the handle on my other platforms, so it's soon going to change here as well. As I said in my previous post, this will change to my pen name and my art handle will swap to Chrissy Tina T. #updates #changes

Forgot I didn't update about it here, but I'll be combing this handle with my art one. So that will become Chrissy Tina T. And this will be changed to the pen name I'll be using for my books moving forward. #updates

As part of combining my art handle with the hub handle, I've started moving things over to the art ko-fi. Just moved my wet ink Procreate brush. I've also decided that I'm making it 99 cents with this move instead of keeping it free pay what you want.
