With the first draft of "The Demon's Feast" getting along well, I decided to share a sneak peek of the book. Who's up for dark fantasy? #fantasy #indieauthor #darkfantasy #fantasynovel #sneakpeek

I originally made this design to use in future books, but I decided to also add it as a shirt design.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 video! Let's talk about my reading slump and how weird it feels for one small thing to fully turn you off of a book. #books #reading #readingslump #booktube

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
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

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

I'm feeling stuck with my YA fantasy "Opposing Forces" and am close to rewriting it. Anyone want to read throygh the unfinished draft so far and help me figure out where things went wrong? #yafantasy #indieauthors #books #authors #fantasy www.patreon.com/posts/152345...
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
I recently decided to remove my horror short story "Late Night Knocking" from Ko-fi and my itchio and published it on KDP. If you want a quick scary read, it's more like a paranormal suspense story, check it out. #indieauthor #shortstory #ebooks #books

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

With the rewrite of "The Collectors" going well, I decided to share the first chapter on Ko-fi. If you want a more dark academia vibe, give it a read. #fantasy #indieauthor #fantasynovel #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

cahaan-shop.fourthwall.com As part of the handle change, I've changed the Fourthwall name to match. I've also added a new shirt and removed the "Don't Krampus My Style" shirt. I'm keeping the Dark Pine Holiday design up a little longer, but will remove it before the end of the month. #merch #shops

Made an official video talking about the handle update, what this means for the channel, and why I made the change. #updates #changes
Giving a photography contest a shot. Please vote for my photo in the America’s Favorite Photos competition 🤩 AmericasFavoritePhotos.com/v/mfwpqt #photography
With how every platform seems to be going, Instagram being harder to grow on, here becoming very quiet, and Lemon8 being flooded with ai, I've decided to give Upscrolled a shot. Follow me there for more stuff #upscrolled #indieauthors #authors

ko-fi.com/s/fd1fb434a1 As part of the handle change, I've added some printable bookmarks to the ko-fi shop since I removed the wallpapers. #bookmarks #diy #indieauthor
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
