If you're on the fence and want someone to peek at a pitch, or have any questions about the press, let me know! I'm not sure I'm going to pitch to this one but I would love to help get some new folks into the press <3 If nothing else, pitching helps you get an idea together that you can write later!

Duck Print Press is absolutely legit! My ofic self has published two short stories and a novella with them. So if you are interested check them out (and read(!) the rules ;) )

okay, more importantly than the fanfic: I actually fuckin opened A Glimmer of Hope and read through the first three chapters. A bunch of go, but still. It's a start.

I really need to try to carry the momentum far enough to do the rewrite of the second book.
...I think I have a plan?

1. Get brain in write-y mode by doing an AO3 prompt meme fill

2. Dig into my clean-up edit of A Glimmer of Hope so we can fiiiiinally republish it.

Cause this isn't just a "me" decision! I'm a damn good writer! Selling my books will earn the Press money!

I wanted to do another ink piece for a while and seeing all the hype for the new Nurgle Warhammer releases got me keen to paint a Rotsword Knight.
I think this is one of my favourite things ive painted in a long while!

uh. idk, is it appropriate for me to post my fanfic on the Press account??? It's always weird trying to draw the line on what's appropriate to post re: "this is my only Bluesky acct and therefore my personal acct" and "this is an acct associated with my business"

Well, I just wrote almost 3k words in under 80 minutes.

So, as out of practice as I am, I can still do *that*, apparently, lmao.

Indie bookstores are run by incredible humans who actually care about the world and people around them, who open their doors to those who need it, who speak out against injustice and demand better.

If you need somewhere to be today, your local bookstore is waiting to welcome you with open arms. 💜
