Hi everyone! Happy to be here. My win of the month is that I finally have properly printed copies of my book! I even did a photoshoot with "the muse" herself

Okay let's do this - Oct 1 - middle grade horror books you should read DAY ONE

When i decided i wanted to write middle grade, I knew I needed to read some modern ones and this was the first book I picked up. It was incredible.

Happy October! I decided to combine the #KidLitArtPostcard for this month with the first week's prompt of the #ABLArtFest - Fall Festival!

Orange-toned children’s book illustration of a family at a fall festival. An older man sits on a haystack and plays pumpkin chess with his grandkid while a couple cousins watch (one about to bite an Apple cider donut), surrounded by pumpkins. A parent with coffee looks to the side with a worried smile as their child presents a pumpkin that is about as big as they are! Underneath is text that says “Kris Easler, rep’d by Jen Rofé, kriseasler.com”

flawless work I think

José A Nieto @jas094.bsky.social · 13d

@realgdt.bsky.social 100%!

The guy does crazy good work with so much heart and wholesomeness, wrapped in darkness and a bit of sadness too

I recently watched the shape of water and I fell in love with the villain, the fishman, the gay friend, the angry friend and the horny protagonist

I try to do it online, sending emails to whoever crosses my path. That has not worked so far. I usually send my portfolio page

joseanieto.com

But as of late I've been sending the blog I made for my book as well

See what sticks

Yup, I feel you. It is so tiring to get rejected all the time... The competition is fierce, but if it was easy everyone would do it...

If I could I would do something else to be honest.

Either way, we gotta push through if we want to make it!

I think the most common dream is to create something that would give you a steady income for the rest of your life without having to touch it again
