Last Ex-Mas is now on KU! 📚 Angsty Romantasy author ✨ Vampires and fae to the front of the line #authorsky #readersky #booksky 🇵🇷📚
Pinned
I didn’t do ARCs for Last Ex-Mas. It was written, edited, got the cover, formatted… And hit publish.
I wrote it in 2023, it was done with around January 2024. I’ve written 3 more novellas, 2 more novels. Working on my third & I’ve published like none of it, barely done any marketing.

My professor just told me my paper lacks professional communication. As in something is lacking in spelling or punctuation.
They want me to use grammarly. What? So you can flunk me? Claim I plagiarized?
I rather drop out.

Amazon preorders can’t be rescheduled more than a month from the og publication date. Also, when you do try to reschedule or cancel it you get a nastygram about it. Dont mind me while I curl up and cry.

When I walk home alone at night, I walk in the middle of the street against traffic so I see cars coming & so I don’t get pulled into an alley.
Sometimes I sing so people look out the window… So someone is watching me. Or their ring cameras see or hear my last location should I disappear.

I didn’t think I had an opera version of Prison Song in me but it bloomed and now it’s here. I’ll be figuring out how to explain the sounds of every instrument to someone for the next week.

Not everything in my pink house is pink.
I have an orange cat. A blue couch. A black wardrobe. And a green apothecary kitchen where I make cookies from scratch.
The pink house welcomes not pink.

I took a trip with some bookish discord friends to 3 museums in order to write some scenes I left TBD in my works in progress. I can’t imagine a better way to write. We basically visited a fae castle, howls moving castle and a vampire museum. Today may have been the best day I’ve had in a long time.

I don’t have a lot of pictures with my friends but I’ve framed their pictures and printed some of our text exchanges for my office. Normalize telling your friends you miss them even if you saw them last week.

As someone who’s procrastinated publishing before, I find myself sad & anxious over having to postpone publishing a book for health reasons? It’s just by two months but I feel like shit. Any advice?

The biggest form of revolt is carefully choosing how we spend our hard-earned money.
Let me be clear: support indie authors however/wherever you can

I’m past asking questions and giving the benefit of the doubt. If I’m under the impression you’re defending that salute, I’m just unfollowing. There’s nothing more to say. If it’s a misunderstanding then let me be in the wrong but I’m not making time for wondering anymore.
