I've been seeing these book or story promotion graphics like these for a while, so I decided to make one for my Asian-inspired romance fantasy web novel, CELESTIAL PROMISE! 🍁 (Also up on my Instagram: @dimsumwrites)

Well, I finally posted a new thing to thank my supporters on
‪@tapasapp.bsky.social‬ with a doodle!

#webnovel #tapascreator #romantasy #WriteSky
A screenshot of Tapas premium writer Dimsum's announcement on her Tapas profile says: Hello, everyone It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, but here’s a doodle of my main couple in Celestial Promise, drawn by me! We’re almost 90 chapters into the journey! Did you know that Celestial Promise is my 1st series? I’ve written many stories, most of which were short stories though. I have much to learn and, since my late undergrad years, been taking steps toward writing more seriously. Most readers will not know what Hmong is. It’s okay. To be brief, Hmong is an ethnic group that originated from China and one of China’s many Miao people. Some of our ancestors resettled in various parts of Southeast Asia, with millions of Hmong/Miao still residing in China. My great-grandparents were among the last waves to leave & make their home in Laos, and I grew up with Hmong/Miao folktales from my father’s side. According to my father’s relatives, reincarnation in Hmong Shamanism depicts Hmong people choosing to reincarnate into different forms, shapes, and diverse identities whether it’d be a cat, a different culture, different gender/sex/nonspecific, & etc. I come from a long traditional line of proud shamans as well. Thank you all for the support.

I think I've done okay so far, getting by without feedback but it's not like they talk about this a lot in undergrad nor did I have MFA friends to talk about this with😭

For my next book, I'd like to ask some friends & see if they'd like to be my alpha readers lol #indieauthor #writing #WriterSky
