The more time goes on the more I just want to open a small publishing house. I just absolutely could not do it on my own, I'm more of a creative type than a businessy type and the amount of money needed to start it is more than I can currently fathom. But it's a dream nonetheless.

I've gotten such an incredibly small amount of time to myself since getting my puppy that I may be going slightly insane. There are other factors at play too and I will be fine but today is rough. I love her though!

Saving up to get a paper guillotine and paper scorer bc if I just get those I can start making greeting cards! It's like $30 total for what I'm looking at. (Yes I know I can make due without them but it's really hard on my hands and body overall)

As an autistic women I've already had a problem with autistic men getting away with harmful behavior because they are autistic. The excuses people will make are ridiculous. Autism doesn't make you hateful, evil, or anything like that.

I may just go hardcore into the book aesthetic posts and stuff while I take my time to write my next book. I feel like it would be fun and give me something to do.

Advice to
#authors
whoโve yet to publish: If you have even a thought you want to use a pen name instead of your name, do it. Because if you want to change it later, apparently not even you getting ๐ threats is enough for goodreads or kdp to make an exception to their policy & delete your legal name.

I literally don't think I could trust a professional ghostwriter to write my ideas how I want them. Letting AI mess with my work is gonna be a no. (And that's just my opinion on top of the harm it does to creatives and the environment)

You know you've been sick when you have a good day physically and you question if you're actually feeling better or if you're just manic and it's masking your illness.

I am really dealing with the fact that as much as I want to, I may not complete the Topians series. It's based so much on my health struggles and the first book was written during a short period of time when we thought everything was going to be clear.

So excited to see what happens! In person events tend to take a lot out of me and since I live in the desert southwest, most book events are a long drive

Iโm sorry for being so annoying about this but sales are really low this month and I really hate that I havenโt been able to get our authors as much exposure as I want to. Today is the last day to order this monthโs boxes and Iโd really love to show our authors a bit more love.

I will be making a FREE PDF guide to making your own book covers... However, I also want to make an affordable online class for authors who need/want more help. What would you pay for a class like that? Comment your thoughts!

I'm going to be honest. I'm kind of in a, I need to make some income season of my life and sadly publishing books usually puts me in the red. It's one of the reasons I haven't self published for a while and probably won't for another year at least.

This year I may not publish. But I will actually finish a book, editing and all! That's the hope at least.

Looking into making a Udemy course for book cover design and social media for authors and... I may be WAY out of my comfort zone rn (I've only ever taught a lecture in person and it wasn't about design). Anyway this may take a year but it will happen eventually.

Working some this snow day. Made a new canva template for my Kofi. I decided yesterday to make my workbooks $5 and my social media templates $1. I want to make them accessible to as many people as I can while not disregarding the work being put into them.
