thinking of cover ideas for what I'm working on. I just had a cool one, but then had to go NO because Sol is already in a very similar pose on his cover and Albireo is basically a star personified (they are just called angels in this one). I don't want to retread it. I might draw it though anyway.

okay I've finally devoured all my ice cream (don't judge me), I'm a little less grumpy, I might as well do some writing bc I had to take today off work for something that didn't even happen. (I get to work tomorrow instead. I'll be grumpy about that tomorrow)

My PayPal balance is -$30 USD and I need to be able to afford bus fare to get to work tomorrow the 28th. I get paid on Friday. If anyone could share/send $35-$40 USD so I can actually be able to pay for getting to work tomorrow, I'd be really grateful. ko-fi.com/ezraarndtwri...

Hey gang. We wish we had some kind of exciting announcement leading up to the launch of our bundle, but circumstances beyond our control make us unsure if we will launch on time at all. The story isn't new for most of you - it's unfortunately the continuing erosion of service from @itch.io 🧵

I redid the opening and now it's not going to bother me going forward. Writing! It's exciting, I swear, I just make it sound boring.

I'm not going to redo this opening chapter until I'm done typing it all up, I say, as I open the doc and begin redoing the opening chapter.

thought of a better opening to this story, but I want to finish typing it all up before I commit, so notes at the back of the notebook so I don't forget!

Some early reader thoughts are trickling in for WHEN YESTERDAY ENDS! If you need an outside opinion (bc I am bias & think my book's pretty neat), check these out! When Yesterday Ends, my cozy fantasy about confronting your own yesterdays, releases July 28th! books.earlronove.com/whenyesterda...

Errant Wings is in bundle #4 with such good company!!

Hey heroes, The remastering of Hero's Realm has been a passion project simmering along slowly for the past 9 years, and - finally - I anticipate it to be completed this year. The Patreon updates that had been on the backburner will be restarted for this final push www.patreon.com/posts/soft-r...

Pre-gaming Pride Month with a Queer Anthologies rec post! I used to not enjoy short stories because I get too attached to characters and have a hard time letting them go in such a short time, but I've read five of these and really like short stories and anthologies now! (1/2)

The Crane Rider's Tale is a queer Chinese fantasy game where you fly passengers around a medieval town... but there's a serial killer among them! Our campaign ends on May 28th, which means there's less than 72 hours left to back it!!

I did it. I finished typing up a chapter. 👏

I'm really excited to show you more of my game 🥰

I open the doc to type up the next chapter, but here I am, re-reading and editing the previous chapters. This is why I start by writing in a notebook. I am just drawn to rereading what I already wrote! (I can do that in a notebook, but it's not as fun since it is MESSY)

With a curse that must be broken before summer's end, Ambrose quickly learns things are not as they seem and if he's not careful, he might die before the curse does him in... A moodboard for WHEN YESTERDAY ENDS! A slow burn cozy-ish fantasy coming this July! 🌿 books.earlronove.com/whenyesterda...

One week left for this!! Pick up some cool sci fi books today!

yeah btw I have several self-published short comics on my itch.io! if you're looking for something more like hello sunshine, I only have eyes for you dear and it's bitter; more like taproot, July fashion issue. something completely different? just going for a walk (experimental autobio)

So, uh, my birthday's tomorrow. Definitely would love a few paid sales so I could maybe get myself a little small treat, but I totally get it if no one can or is interested. It's tight for everyone. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Fell a little behind on review books, partly because I turned two of them into longer ones!! Tragic, that too many good reads will do that. XD Anyway, some other book commentary from my March / April reads

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

All set up at the Toronto Dark Arts Market and ready to start selling books in an hour! We'll be here from 11AM - 5PM, so stop by Ground Control - 1279 Queen St West - to grab some books!

i really like this story i'm working on and i am so excited to work on the prequel companion piece to it once it's done.

Spent the morning doodling Cyan, the main character of my upcoming MM human × fey romantasy. #mmbooks #indiebooks #characterart #digitalart

Meet Snakeskin author, Ivy Bookdragon, who’s participating in PROMETHEUS: A QUEER FUTURISTIC HORROR ANTHOLOGY with her story SPIDER IN THE WEB which brings to the page vibes of <Horror as loss of self & control over your own body>. All 🔗 in our bio.

I thought of a better way to handle a character in what I'm working on, but now I have to go and leave notes all over my notebook so I don't forget by the time I get to typing up certain parts... It's fun, though!! It's all part of the process of the story growing as you write/edit!

For some reason, there's been an uptick of downloads of Hymn of Memory on itchio. It's made me nostalgic for my first self-published book. Have you checked it out? Come for running away from your own divinity, stay for the heartbreak of memories too far gone. 🌻 books.earlronove.com/hymnofmemory

We'd like to note to all of our participants that we have not received any communication from @leafo.itch.io or member of the @itch.io team regarding Ticket 360599, nor have we noticed any change in the percentage splits on the bundles. Support may be slow due to the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.
