Self pub folks: have any of you heard of or used Blurb for printing? I'd not heard of it before and am looking to hear about anyone's experience with it :)

I might experiment this week...not sure how common it is to link music videos? Then again, I did join the indie book continent of the site; I'm sure there's an indie music archipelago if I go check 😆

I'm still thinking about what I want to use bsky for aside from the obvious (books) and I'm thinking using this as a place to put music/currently listening as well

It's ADHD awareness month, and The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle features my ADHD chatterbox of a protagonist!

If I had a dollar for the number of times while querying that agents called him "a lot" or "too much" (whether praising or complaining about the voice) 🤣😅

A graphic for the ADHD awareness month bundle, featuring 22 books on an orange background. Text reads: ADHD awareness month fiction by mostly ADHD authors. Most with 1+ significant ADHD character(s)

Would it be ideal to have finished my website (up and decent as of last week, in fairness, if under construction), and otherwise done all my publicity things before now? Yeeees but pshhh, why let that stop us.
