This might actually be the best illustration I've done? I'm so so happy with the coloring. Honestly, can't recommend "being horny for your own OCs" enough as a method of improving your art style.

Accidentally spent an entire day illustrating the protags of Community Magic book 3 instead of actually getting back into _editing_ it. Whoops.

Creating and scheduling social media posts to promote your work while also sick is a special kind of hell

I work so much harder as an author than I did when I was working full time, and make almost no money.

FYI Indie Authors, Dax has found a free distributor and the best looking single alternative to D2D we've got. Its ebook and audiobook only (not paperback), and German owned.

So relatable.

Like, do I wish that I didn't need multiple pairs of glasses? Sure. Aging is irritating. But not having to play "find the focal distance" with my phone and actually being able to see my knitting when I'm working with the tiny needles is really nice actually.

Because the friend who died recently at 49 would love to be grappling with this problem instead of the cancer that killed her.

And maybe this is being a downer on main, but you only live once! So don't let the cop in your brain keep you from making the most of the time that you have!

My dad needed hearing aids and wouldn't get them.

My mom needed treatment for depression and anxiety and refused to get it. Still hasn't gotten it.

So when it turned out that trying progressives gave me vertigo, I punched down that feeling of "bifocals are for old people" and got some anyway

Let yourself be old.

If you need hearing aids, get hearing aids (if you can afford to). If you need bifocals, get bifocals. Don't let fear of being seen as old stop you from living your life, because aging sucks, but it's also a privilege not everyone gets access to.

My idiot sons from Community Magic Book 4, which is currently out with beta readers. Really happy how this came out.

I love my traumatized idiot sons so much.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

Bsky staff is scrambling to convince ppl that today's outage has nothing to do with their embrace of ai. That's great. We should make them scramble more. The cost of replacing competent humans with AI needs to be greater on every single level for every single company.

I hate Instagram so much

I'm there because I sort of have to be, but all my algo shows me is straight content, and what do I have to do to find the gays?

Because the straight 'no spice' folks aren't going to read my books
