Your worth as an artist is not tied to lack of sales. Your lack of sales is, however, tied to the fact absolutely none of us have any money. You're NOT a shit artist. We are ALL broke, my dude.

Quote of the day : Them: Where are you from? Me: Ireland! Them: Oh, such a beautiful city! Me: ... Me: ... It's a country... I know it's small but.... 😭

If you happen to find this crappy doodle in a Tokyo bar, take a picture of it and send it to me, I WILL SEND YOU A SIGNED BOOK. (To be clear - one of my books. Signed by me 😅)

Sometimes I get asked why I write. The truth is that I have a genetic condition where my body produces too many stories and so I have to drain them out with ink.

🥰

The joys of getting older... I used to wake up feeling better and more refreshed than when I went to sleep. Now I wake up with backpain and tiredness 😭

Oh no! The pitfalls of naming a character "May" only to try replace all with a new name!! #writerproblems

Now to edit the WIP and change the entire setting to another country... And all the cultural changes that entails... Why did I do this to myself again?

Woot!! Excited for this to see the world! 😀

I'm going to hold your hand while I say this...read my books. No, stop trying to pull away. Why are you screaming?? They're good books, just calm down and read them!

So tired... Instead of sleeping later on account of the nonsense that is Daylight Savings, I woke up even earlier 😭

World book day and Amazon makes all the books go poof. I can't help but laugh at the irony

Important terms for World Book Day Abibliophobia: fear of running out of reading matter Tsundoku 🇯🇵: letting books pile up without reading them Librocubicularist: a person who reads in bed Déjá-lu: you’re reading something you have already read Bibliobibuli: someone who reads alot/drunk on books

Had a very surreal moment today when I challenged a scammer who'd approached me in an underground parking lot about how his story didn't line up Sorry buddy, but finding plot holes is like half my job

So truuuuue

According to my handy-dandy Writing Progress Excel Sheet I created just before the pandemic, I have written more words this month than any other month since 2020. Now to many more months like this one!

Face reveal. Wrong answers only.

I have one word for this and it's "Ew."

Oh to be as happy and fulfilled as a cat in a box.

There are days when the muse strikes and then there are days when every word is a battle.

Omg the irony 😭

What if we just... Left the Internet and all moved to a new world wide network that doesn't have an ai infestation yet...? Don't mind me, just daydreaming over here 💭 Next up - picturing pest control but for gen ai 🪳

It's crazy, some companies start borderline stalking you when you end your contract with them in an attempt to convince you to come back. I've gotten a call around 8 am every day for the past week from the same company. Next they're gonna stand on my lawn...

Finally getting the resolve together to actually edit one of the projects in my ever-growing first drafts pile. Now to try and not get distracted...

I love how ‘art-nerd’ is used as an insult here. Yes, I am an art-nerd. I live the life, I own the t-shirt. It is written through my DNA.

"built in 1999 (...) for no apparent reason"

This discovery today made me unreasonably happy 🤣

Today's the last chance to get these beautiful friendship centred stories!! 🥰

Only a few hours left ~~~

You want #romance today? I gotchoo ⬇️ itch.io/b/3515/valen... Extra tip: "Devil Deal" is a cozy romcom with a supernatural twist in which the devil is hellbent on setting up the FL with one of his buddies from hell.

MRIs are weird. You just lay there staring at this hunk of plastic that makes random disconcerting noises for ages while you concentrate on not moving and have no idea what exactly is happening

We are SO CLOSE to our $1000 goal! Get your friendship stories while the bundle still lasts <3 itch.io/b/3486/frien...

Readers, beware: my next book is chock full of em dashes. You can try to pry them from my skeletal hands as I continue to compose sentences that ask for—nay, demand them—from my cold and bitter grave. From the heart of hell I will spit em dashes at thee and cackle all the while.

That moment when someone tells you about two books that sound exactly the same and you realize that the one you're writing is... not a million miles away 🫠🙃 Back to the drafting board!
