Creating a Fiverr account / selling my writing for the first time is...a new experience I will say that.

The Webtoons Adaptation of my science fiction novel: "CHaSM" brought to life by @balcearts.bsky.social has begun for the Webtoons Canvas 2025 Contest www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/ch... #webtoon #webcomic #sciencefiction #ChaSM #writing #writer

So apparently when the cat is incessantly yowling at the top of his lungs for no reason at all - he's actually yelling : Open the damn window woman I want my birds! Ah....silence. he's now in a staredown with a particularly mouthy crow but hey that's life. I should give them names...

It is a simple concept Cat Shower equals water. Water equals wet. Jumping in TUB equals EGAD THERE IS WATER HERE HOW DARE YOU! So why am I the one being bitched out- *you* interupted self care night kitty- did you enjoy the bubbles when you JUMPED IN? #mycatisadumbass #cat #catsky

"The way you talk is crass, you really need to change it. You'll never get hired with it and you know there's a reason it's not really featured in Hollywood right?" Me: 😑 *Adds comic character with a stronger Boston accent than I have. Noted. Challenge accepted.😁

We're not in the habit of shaming ourselves just because. When shame was used to control us growing up, we often internalize it as our go-to for getting ourselves to take action. Working to change that means developing more effective, humane self-motivational strategies.

Fact: trauma survivors tend to assume way too much "responsibility" for our feelings, reactions, & events in our lives than is appropriate. We would MUCH rather feel guilty than powerless. The trope of survivors leaning into "blame" or "victim mentality" is a pernicious myth.

First AI and now entitled Boomers are ruining my Monday. That bitch's nasty stunt last week has now landed me in hot water for overtime because I was stuck working late because of her. Oh its just a small bunch of edits: BUILDING A PPT FROM SCRATCH?! Oh today's just going great.

FUCK AI

Anyone who is wondering what the issue is with AI and replacing certain things in the work force- AI has screwed me to the ground this morning. AI does not understand time zones and distinctive meeting times, oh no it's a mindless "efficiency" machine that does not have human finesse.

Going from a place where I was lucky the laundry room was working / not taken up by the the neighboring complex [ gotta love no security ] to... Hi everyone we have breakfast for you! - is... a trip xD A good one! But a trip nonetheless

Me: Working and minding my own business happens to look to the right *distinctive black curly Q sticking up from behind the kitchen Island* Me: *sigh* Shadow get out of the sink....I'm not turning on the faucet Cat: MEOW! *MEANIE!* Just a typical day in the life of a Carrie #Cat

Concept- Teaser Poster for C.H.a.S.M. with @balcearts.bsky.social I am exceedingly proud of this poster won't lie. Graphic Design is a hobby of mine. Plot Summary in Alt text! :D #Webtoons #webtooncanvas #sciencefiction #webcomic

Also : I guess I'm back in Townsville because... spite is a helpful tool to get a stubborn muse's blood flowing. Do i already have a plot? Yes. Is it outlined? Yes. Is it trying to salvage that train wreck of a leaked script and trailer. Also yes. IT HAD POTENTIAL DARN IT Also yes it is Reds

Oh this is gonna hurt isn't it? Oh lord. Between this and IQ 84 I'm gonna be a mess in this reading month.

It is definitely a hot bath with bath salt and bubbles kind of night I'm so stunned I'm laughing.

Oshawott sitting in his pokeball

Its official. I'm over Corporate. I can't do it. I'm never going to be able to return to that toxic mindset ever again. Like... I'm just stunned right now. How did America turn into this toxic world culture? And why did we let it happen in the first place? Was it really just greed?

I think I've hit the "routine" stage of new job. And it's fueled by only two cups of coffee?? What is this? Is this... a healthy workplace? ....it is sad I am this shocked by this realization. Holy crap my last job was toxic. Oh my god. #working #coffeethoughts

writing action scenes to angus mcsix like:

Get praised to the moon during a meeting. Me: *goes on break immediately after and is now hiding* Gotta love the imposter 🎵 And now my cat has the zoomies as he runs around like mad until he decides to go back to sleep. Ah... happy Tuesday

Update: Never mind. I don't matter. He wanted to have his daily chattering match with the birds and the window wasn't open. Cats are weird

The cat won't stop yowling and you're trying to work. Check list: Food. Check. Water. Check Litter. Check. Toys. Check Conclusion: Attention. Why do i try to work. Seriously

Three scripts down - and now I rest. He's got the right idea. #writinglife #writing #CHaSM

To whoever leaked this trailer though. The Powerpuff Girls fandom thanks you for your sacrifice.

I am almost 80% certain "Mayor Jojo" is a badly disguised Jared Shapiro from the 2016 disaster and this is a script taken from those failed scripts of which there were many. I'm going to need to process this because my only thoughts are more or less loud obscenities at the moment.

Just watching the CW leaked trailer. Next time you want to make a show of a beloved IP. Please make your "Oscar winner" writer [ gag me] watch the source material and not the bad failure of a 2016 remake. Seriously how do you manage to screw up " THE POWERPUFF GIRLS" ?! HOW

How is it that Comic editing is somehow more stressful than novel narrative editing. Maybe it's the project itself and yes it's my baby of many years but good lord my anxiety is PEAK. That's it back to fic I go and retreat to- no need for "perfection" there! #writing #writerslife #CHaSM

So apparently I LIKE to cook - i just never knew how but now I'm learning and it is an BLAST. .... I dunno what's in the water around here but damn I like it.

My apartment is coming along smoothly but I still don't have a home for my Crater Crew plushies - they're still in the box. Maybe I just get a curio cabinet at this point, they can live next to the creepy glass cats my elderly aunt insisted I take.

Fanfiction I swear is the most indulgent hobby imaginable. #fanfiction #writerslife

The way this cat just plops himself in *just* the right angle so I can't open my own tablet without becoming a terrible monster who dared disturb the fur baby. Whelp guess I'm going into this boss with no guide🤣 #catlife #cat

for anyone who needs to hear this: it's not weird to share your creations & hope that they resonate with someone else

you ever want to watch five different things all at the same time but you want to watch them all equally and cannot pick one over another so you end up either watching nothing or watching another non-difficult comfort show for the fiftieth time while still wanting to watch the other five

Quote repost your art that has stars💫🪐

In this age… especially in America right now, it is a struggle to simply keep going. We are bombarded daily with dread, anxiety, and horrifying news. It’s imperative that we cling onto things that give us joy. Do not let anyone berate you for enjoying something because it’s important right now.

Coming in 2025 @balcearts.bsky.social #writing #writer #webcomic #webtoon

To go from a fanfiction writer with a pen name to seeing my real name associated with the writing project I've worked on since 2020 based on a dream i had when I was FIFTEEN. This is surreal.

Its the sequel / lost Pokemon Z it looks like. Okie dokie, so why are there johto starters. If it's a direct sequel to XY and we know it is definitely post gen 6 because AZ has reunited with floette.. SO WHERE DID THE JOHTO STARTERS COME FROM!? I am confused. Intrigued i guess but confused.

So did we finally get confirmation a new "stadium" esque game is on its way or did I mishear that? Ima pretend I did so HELL YEAH BABY! ZA looks... how i expected it to lol. But POKEMON CONCIERGE SEASON 2 YEASSS

Balancing a novel, three comic scripts and promo drafts for said project all at the same time : Thank God for the invention of coffee in ancient times. Translation: Balancing a full time job and independent writing career is hard. 🤣 #writing #writersky #writer #webcomic #writerslife
