I’m begging novel writers to hire an artist for their covers. At least someone who can do graphic design at a minimum. I see the worst book covers on here everyday and you’re all doing such a disservice to yourself to put in the effort to write a whole book only to turn people away with a bad cover.

Writers, there are SO MANY unique ways for your characters to have side effects or overdoses from medications, compounds, and the natural world.
Don’t just make stuff up. Ask your friendly neighborhood doc/toxicologist for ideas to add some flair and realism

Your daily horoscope:
Today you will feel like a dentist - working in the dark, filling little voids, and cleaning up after others.

Goodnight from Jack Hurley, still taking helpful directions from his dead wife as he pushes their Vauxhall Victor F towards Burwood. Goodnight from Chas Foster, fixing newspapers to the windows of his shed so no-one can see him making illegal sprite traps. Goodnight from Hookland.

Happy Tuesday! We had an amazing sky this morning 15 minutes before the sun came up before everything quickly dissipated into gray. It was a tough choice in coffee shop voting but this one took it. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Hey new illustrators! If you're creating a picture book w images that are a full (2-page) spread, be mindful not to put anything important in the gutter. (aka the middle, where pages connect to spine)
For ex: If the main character is dead center in your image, he'll be cut in half by the gutter. :/

Any self-identifying liberal who voted for these instinctively authoritarian pieces of shit should hang their head in shame. Genuinely worse than the Tories on basic legal freedoms.

It's never too late to learn something new.
It's never too late to read dusty books of dark magic.
It's never too late to weave a cloak of moss, feathers, and thorns and become the horror that haunts the forest north of town.

I am not going to dive into the back and forth on piracy. I have a side, you can guess what it is.
But I will say one thing: if you get the books from your library, you're still not paying for it and the author does get compensated.

The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but I think we can all take at least some solace in the fact that libraries, cafés, bookstores, bakeries, museums, and Oxford commas exist.
