With Independent Bookstore Day coming up, I just wanted to send out a reminder that Barnes & Noble is NOT an independent bookstore and should NOT be where you go to celebrate that day.
Should probably update my pinned post at some point, huh
I'm glad my plan to focus on just one social media platform instead of trying to spread across three has been working out. I've had a ton more fun on Thr3ads the past month than I ever did on Tw1tt3r
I've got 2 of my next 3 manuscripts in my email already. I'm going to have a busy next few months, and couldn't be happier about it
Seeing a lot of authors I thought were respectable using AI to promote their books. Truly disappointing.
Authors, PLEASE stop ghosting the freelance professionals you reach out to! If you're no longer interested in hiring our services PLEASE tell us so we can move on and fill the slot we were courting you for.
Today is Trans Day of Visibility, and it is important for us LGB's to remember we wouldn't have gotten to marriage equality in 2015 if it wasn't for the decades of fighting led by the T's. Community doesn't throw each other under the bus. Stand together.
Note, any changes made in my rates will NOT effect any projects that have deposits paid before July 1st. So if you like where my rates are now and have been thinking of hiring me for your project in the future, the time to get on my books and get a deposit put down would be now.
I know last year I said I probably wasn't going to do this for a while, but I think I'm going to have to raise my rates again this year. I'm not sure by how much, but any changes will go into effect on July 1st.
Been wondering why I've been smelling smoke the last couple days, then last night remembered that half my state is on fire right now and the federal government is silent about it
If I ever spell the word rhythm correctly on the first try I know I need to go buy a lottery ticket because that'll be my lucky day
Oh hey, the vampire book crossed the 10k word mark and I didn't even notice. Coolio
When I'm not playing Pokopia and Metroid Prime 4, I'm editing sci-fi and fantasy books
I really want to start writing the werewolf book but I'm not even 10k words into the vampire one AND still have a whole ass Norse fantasy to finish
The client book I'm editing right now is so raw and honest. I'm really enjoying it. It's definitely going to be a hit if its audience is able to find it when it releases.
Thank you for your input.
Buying Pokopia was the dumbest thing I've done in a while because how am I supposed to work when I could be playing Minecraft with Bulbasaur?
Was supposed to drive up to see our nieces and nephews today, but the weather said nope. Super bummed since we haven't seen some of them in almost a year.
I get zero engagement here and I don't know why.
How bad will my business suffer if I delete my twitter? I already struggle to get clients, but maybe one less social media to manage would help me focus more energy elsewhere.
A last minute reschedule is leaving me with availability for April. Jump on this while you can!
I have an opening for line edits in April
Info on my rates in the pic below. Reach out if interested in a consultation. Free sample edit available on request
Good morning. Am working on editing a debut fantasy for an ambitious client. Enjoying it. Will of the Many inspired, elemental magic, and gay. It's hitting all the right notes for me so far
Me: There is not anything Nintendo could do to make Metroid any cooler than it already is
"Hey, so Samus is psychic now."
Me:
I consider it part of the greater metro area. Don't know if anyone else does 🤣
Broke down and finally bought a Switch 2. This thing better be worth it.
This post broke containment on Threads and got me over 40 new followers 😳
Guess that means I have to finish writing this book 🤣
And the werewolf spin-off I'll be writing will take place in a fictional version of the state park I worked in when I opened my (now closed) bookstore
Fun fact: the gay vampire story I'm writing takes place in the Omaha metro. Yes, the zoo will feature in it as well.
