Oh, I’m sorry, you thought because I have written books I want to sell them? No! Don’t be silly. I just put them on the shelf to look intellectual. Well, I guess you could too:
#TheDamsel a.co/d/frKFpqq
#FoolsBlood a.co/d/5gEv7Z2
and a bunch of short stories and novellas ko-fi.com/imagine/shop
He could be on to something. Books are so quiet. It’s like they’re up to something.
It is my belief people who listen to audiobooks do so because regular books are very, very quiet.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

When will the Dandadan anime adapt the 300 IQ story?

My MC was the villain all along and didn’t tell me until I was 50% into the draft. So now at least I get to introduce a chosen one to stop her, except the MC is just gonna corrupt the poor naive cinnamon roll
I am back for #MelsNoWriMo and see you had fun without me. Yay. That's the plan.
So for today, was there something in your story that caught you by surprise? A plot twist, character trait, the Spanish Inquisition?

I have done it (it being the first draft of a bonus short story. In the All Vamps, No Stakes world). Anyone want to beta read a super weird story? Like zero draft crazy?

Yea give me free money. I mean, artist grants now.
Writing is hard work.

Writers should be able to make a living even if they don't have a full time staff position.

Authors especially should be able to make a living off their books they've sweat and toiled for.

All of this shows further why our capitalist system is unsustainable and unjust.

At this time a year ago I was at about the same place as I am now with my two manuscripts that I half wrote in the spring. I need to get on with them!
at this time a year ago, having just sent my editor (at last)(after two deadline extensions) a full manuscript (and having told her she didn't even need to read it bc I'd just had An Idea), I sat in this coffee shop and started drafting the version of THE LORD OF THE WOOD that's finally going to pub

Hugely underrated ending! Absolute perfect banger for this show. The anime collab video is fire too.
EDs, First Place:
Dandadan Season 2 ED: "Doukashiteru" by WurtS
YEAH OF COURSE IT'S THIS! Dandadan just does not fucking miss. Frankly this may be my favorite of the non-insert songs for the entire show.

I'm one to talk (reading the Dandadan feed instead of doing my shit)

Why does it look like Nayuta Chainsawman??? Haha *dead* (also definitely need to wrk on balanced eyes
Ok. I feel better now (after yesterdays shit show) tried to practice the stylisation and the simpler features. While keeping the essence of the character. This is the first time I’ve stylised from a photo ref (inc)

This is a very important post
As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead!

So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

The old Internet is out there. I’ve seen it! Eyes gleaming with hope and a golden horn of freedom! It’s just buried under a cascade of corporate AI generated slop.

I can't believe some of you fools doubted Dandadan in this current arc
Dandadan is working on a layer of subtext that most series would be too cowardly to do

I am always putting twists on every trope. That’s how I write. My debut novel #TheDamsel was a twist on the superhero who just wanted to be normal. I made a whole world of superpowered robots with a society based around worshipping a helpless individual just to have the MC make sense. I love it

Anti-tropes: what are some tropes that you've purposefully avoided in your WIP? OR, are there any tropes that you've put a twist on?

There’s possible proof of life on Mars just sat there, on the red planet, in a test tube just waiting to come home——-and Cheetoh McRapeyface cancelled funds for it

If you’re planning on shopping during Black Friday what the fuck is wrong with you it’s a general strike. But yeah if you’re gonna buy anything buy from indies because not a cent will go to corporations and oligarchs
If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

What if trans people were their preferred gender in their past life and they’re just not ready yet? Weird cosmic thoughts.
