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:

Had a go at a sketch tutorial for bodies I did back when I just started studying drawing. Quite proud of it though I rushed a bit and I’m not sure why the body proportions feel off even when I try to fix it but it’s definitely
Better!

I don’t see my characters as being live action. I see my stories as animated. Something like The Mighty Nein, Invincible, Pantheon. That’s why my stories always have a slight ridiculous edge. Because animation would carry that better.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! Feel free to come back to this one if you're busy today (or claim this is a work thing and use it to hide in the bathroom for a few minutes—I'm not judging!)

Fan-cast 1 character (or more) from your story. Doesn't have to be a modern celeb!

I’m just trying to draw eyes that match

Cannot wait for this to be animated. I just hope they don’t rush the story to squeeze the whole arc in one season cos it’s gonna be tough to fit it in 12 episodes

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.

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.
