What if Beyond The Mark became a web comic? I’m exploring a profit-share project where all earnings (if any) are split among the creative team. artists, and colorists, would you be interested in joining? Tossing the idea out there, not sure yet if its viable yet! :) #Comic #Artist #Webtoon

Seeing Beyond The Mark sitting at 4.2/5 stars with 37 reviews honestly means the world to me. Every person who's taken the time to read, rate, or leave thoughts-you've helped shape this journey more than you know. Thank you for being part of it.💙 #Booksky #Fantasy

Big thanks to everyone for the kind words on Beyond The Mark! A lot of reviews mention it feels like D&D, definitely not what I set out for, but it's awesome to see people having fun with it in ways I didn't expect. Guess that's just how all creative work goes! #dnd #fantasy #rpg

The new White House TikTok comparing immigrants to Pokémon, set to the official Pokémon theme, is one of the most revolting things I've seen from the Trump administration. It may look trivial, but "gamifying" I.C.E. is putrid. It turns real human suffering into entertainment. I'm done with 2025.

My added cost to my business after tariffs, import fees, and shipping issues is 200,000$ annually. This is for a small collectibles business. 😅 R.I.P. to small businesses in 2025.

Do any authors here hop between projects? I want to pursue another idea I have, but I also was to continue Beyond The Mark. 😭 #Booksky #Author

US is using loopholes on imports to stop Canadian small businesses: if a USPS label is printed outside US soil, it won't be allowed in. A new hurdle for Canadians shipping into the States. It's absolutely wild. If you import to the states and the tracking starts with 94. You're out of luck.

What was the best job you've had and why do you miss it? #flashback #work

I first thought finishing a draft would feel like climbing a mountain. Instead, it feels like reaching a cliff and seeing 12 more taller mountains in the distance. #booksky #art #writer

Life keeps testing me... My brakes completely failed while driving; not once, but twice in 2 months. Is anyone else this unlucky? 😅 On a totally unrelated note, if anybody has a car for sale in the Montréal area, I may be open to hearing prices . #luck #2025

Reached 50k in my first year. Honestly, with everything going on in the world it feels hard to "celebrate." But I truly appreciate every one of you for being here. Thank you. #booksky #bluesky

There are no winners in the direction we are racing towards...

I've had many people ask for Beyond The Mark back on Kindle Unlimited. What's everybody's thoughts on this? F**k Amazon or submit? #booksky #author #kindle

Every year, I make a Bucket List for myself. So far, I've done 5/8 for 2025! Instead of New years resolutions, I always recommend this option. Having multiple goals per year gives you time to pivot and work towards more rather than being confined to one. Let creativity go at its own flow.

Being a writer with a bad memory means every "short break" from writing turns into a full reread of my own work. The upside? My first draft gets endless quality control. The downside? I've basically read my own book more times than anyone else ever will. #Booksky

For any Americans, remember this is your final chance to buy items worldwide (minus china) under deminimus (Section 321). Starting the 29th, everything from a plethora of countries will be subject to tariffs, whether it's $2 or $800. This will COMPLETELY change E-commerce for the worse. #PSA

I have a question for you all. I've noticed that many of the reviews on my book contain minor spoilers and at worst read like a synopsis. 😅 For those of you who read reviews prior to purchase on a book, is this something that is common or bothersome to a reader? 🤔 #Booksky #reviews

After over 10 years of running a small business, it’s wild to think how great it is to finally have things figured out... With the one exception of it all going out the window on a daily basis whenever a new tariff comes into effect. #Canada

Recommendations for what to do in London tonight? Preferably music adjacent. #travel #london

There's always a point when traveling, where the body gives out, and the exhaustion sets in. Today is that day for me. Take it easy and listen to yourself. Cheers from Paris 🥖🥐

Much walking in the upcoming days! #Rome #Travel

Off to Rome today, may not get back to all messages! I'll be posting each city I go to with a couple highlights. If you have any recommendations for Rome especially open mics or night life drop them below. 🥰

With any media honestly. 🙃

Support small business, especially when prices match or beat the big guys. As owners, we sometimes sell at cost just to stay in the game, while giants do it to crush competition. Our goal isn't domination, it's survival. #SmallBusiness #SupportLocal

Thank you for all the Europe recommendation! ❤️ Found many hidden gems. I'm going next week, and I have a final question! Open mic recommendations? Would love to play there. Venice Florence Rome London Paris Madrid Any of the above!

Creatives beware: scammers are making fake accounts to befriend you, gain trust, then "refer" you to their "main/real account" for services. It's all the same person. Stay sharp. Don't trust random referrals in DMs. #ScamAlert #ArtistWarning #WritingCommunity

Genuine warning to all Americans. They are finally starting to enforce Tariffs from China made items. What this means is that if you order a package from ANYWHERE, even for example canada, but the item is made in China, you will have to pay 25%-245% tariff on the item before getting it.

I have many new authors reach out for sales and marketing advice. The truth is, I'm in the same boat as almost all of them! Only 1% of my followers are actual readers. Don't let big numbers fool you. We are all out here figuring it out. #booksky #Bluesky #kindle

Happy Canada Day! 🎉 *Can't find the maple leaf emoji, so just pretend it's here.* #Canada

Going to Europe for the first time next month! Any recommendations in the following cities? 🙂 I have ZERO planned outside flights and hotels. Rome Florence Venice London Paris Madrid #Travel

Thank you to everyone who takes the time,not only to read Beyond The Mark, but to leave a review! ❤️🌹 #BookSky #Author #kobo #kindle

I keep trying to put out the fires in my life by starting bigger ones. Apparently, if the blaze is massive enough, the small ones stop mattering. #2025 #Business #Artist

UPDATE! 🌹🎉 I realize not many people have access to much right now, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99 Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy! #Fantasy #Author

One of the hardest parts of surviving or going through something heavy is realizing that people around you can no longer relate. You've crossed a line they haven't. But no matter how isolating it gets, I'd never wish for anyone to understand by living through what I did

Just to reiterate the point on my last status. It's the idea of 'being an entertainer' that is very difficult on me. I love the process of music. However, having to give it my all every night on a stage would absolutely obliterate my mental health. I'm not being ungrateful i'm being honest.

Trying to balance writing and music feels like a tug-of-war lately. Writing lets me disappear into the work, but music feels like I'd have to show up and entertain every day and honestly, I'm not sure I have the energy for that kind of constant presence fans would deserve as a show. #Booksky #Music

Recommendations of things or skills to learn that are rather quick, but benefit immensely in the long run? #Health #Talents #Skills

For anybody following along on Royal Road, I'll be taking a break from writing to focus on work during this tariff war. Hopefully, it's resolved soon, taking much more of my life than I'd hoped. #Tariffs #RoyalRoad

I can't tell if I'm tired, dehydrated, overstimulated, or just alive in 2025. #2025

Our import broker shut down without notice. The reason was almost all of their clients needed to close their business temporarily or permanently in response to the tariffs... This is by far the worse and stupidest reason for small businesses to face closures. #Canada #Tariffs #Usa

The last 48 hours has been filled with canceling client orders for my canada small business due to the tariffs. I'm then met with clients yelling, saying I don't know how tariffs work and they won't be hit with 125% tariff, because the "other country" pays it.... It amazes me. #tariffs #canada

Sneaky new tariffs going into effect today. If you are a small business shipping to the United States, do some reading prior on the new laws asap. #Tariffs

If anybody has advertising advice for ebooks lemme know in the comments. Feels like playing minesweeper without the numbers. #Booksky #ads #Author

Now available on Google Books! ❤️ books.google.com/books?id=5gp... #Beyond #Booksky #Author #ebook #google

Does any authors use Amazon ads? Even with professional guidance, I feel everything relating to amazon is just burning money recently... Zero results. #amazon #booksky #authors #author

I'll shut up about kobo soon I promise, however... HOW?!? I'm not sure how Kobo ranks books, but i feel something is wrong 😅.. www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/... #kobo #fantasy #booksky
