Dear Readers and Indie Authors,

Let's help D2D understand how we all support each other.

My 12 dollar fee is due July. I've created coupon code F7XMQ on Smashwords to lower the price to $1. If I get to $100 before July, I won't have to pay their fee.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Understanding D2D's Activation and Maintenance Fees - Draft2Digital | Blog A brief explanation of D2D's activation and maintenance fees, which accounts are subject to them, and what this means for you.

Just putting this here because it's absolutely bonkers.

Plus, I have until July to make 100$ to not pay a 12$ fee.

I have 1 book and I made my account and then wandered off to do other things, so the book hasn't been up all that long. 🤬🗡☠️👻🧂🔥

Stumbling Toward Serenity: Chapter Three Natalie double-checks herself in the mirror and smirks. “Get it, girl.” She turns up the music on her phone and dances around her room. “Fuck Avery. They haven’t bothered to give me the time of day in months.” She swipes some gloss on her lips and blows herself a kiss. “Sarah can deal with her own shit. It’s not like she’s been around.”

I’m grateful pen & paper have remained a core part of my process over the years because I’ve been turning to them more and more often lately. No subscriptions, no AI, no tech bloat. Just ideas and words.

Stumbling Toward Serenity: Chapter Two As Natalie storms out of the office, someone jostles her. She shoves back, throwing her anger at this new target. “What the hell, lady?” they shout. “Whatever, you ran into me, ass,” Natalie barks and heads in the opposite direction. She spots a boutique across the street, her well practiced resting bitch face in place to prevent another run-in. Retail therapy always clears her mind.

Why Naming Conventions Make a Difference Why Naming Conventions Make a Difference Naming Convention - Why Bother? Using a good naming format for files isn't just to keep your digital files clean and searchable, it's to help yourself and others know exactly what they have and where it came from. Over the years, I've enjoyed digital conventions, InfoStack sales, and trading stories for proofreading. In my professional world, I've become a 'naming convention' expert. One day job, I met with multiple teams to get their input on how we should rename products so they can find them fast and easy with as little confusion as possible.

Censorship is so 1984. Supporting Libraries is so 2025. Read for your rights. Give for our libraries. American Library Association logo

The right to read belongs to all of us, but rights only survive when we defend them. ALA is standing with library workers, parents, and readers to push back against censorship. You can donate to support our work at ilovelibraries.org/1984.

Censorship is so 1984, but supporting libraries is so 2025.

Excuse me? How dare you.

I'm still wondering if this is an elaborate joke. 🤔😅🤣

I thought this was a joke but Hellmanns has it on their site.

Chicago: The walls shook. Blackhawk rotors overhead. Agents stormed in—zip-tying kids, tearing families apart. ‘They treated us like nothing.’ One agent sneered: “F** them kids.”

This wasn’t a raid. It was an invasion. “We’re under siege — by our own military.” #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

YOU'RE^^

Yes, I'm a writer. I do know words. 😭

Same..like that cannot be comfortable to walk around knowing your dirty. It makes me think of a couple of exes who I always did laundry for and so glad they are exes.

There are no felines in my feed. 🥹😭
