Never read 'The Turn of the Screw' despite it being terribly important to the horror genre... I *have* it on my shelf just haven't read it. Maybe I'll do that this weekend >.>

Friend, "I need to talk to you about marketing." Me, after laughing horribly, "I can't help you." It seems the world outside my internet bubble has wildly different ideas about how I'm doing.

#WealdandWen cover and I made it. >.>

Haven't made a sale since February and that amounted to just over a $1. So, if you need me, I will be crying into my keyboard as I keep writing anyway because I don't really have any other options.

I love writing things nobody wants. Just...delightful. (yes I am looking at submission guidelines again please kill me)

"I have to finish this short story to submit it places." Brain, "Here is a whole new one instead." "...this one is weird, we've established no one wants weird." Brain, "But...but...eldritch horror? Haven't done eldritch horror!" So I have a new story...

Dunno if this counts as a 'meet cute' but it is how they meet, so...have some #Hitch today, #WIPSnips

I need a day spent in a place I don't have to clean, void of any responsibilities, where I can just snuggle in blankets with my husband and talk about dumb things that make us happy. Might fix me.

#WakeandGlaer today, #WIPSnips with some confusing nonsense, not at all worrisome, do not mind the threat of oblivion hinted at in these words. >.>

Mitra has never had the need, or desire, to clean anything. Faerai is fairly neat but I wouldn't call her fastidious, it's more a learned order for the sake of convenience. Delgrij is particular in grooming, but his nest was 'lived in' at best with only the shelves kept in any semblance of order.

Barely done anything today. Why am I tired. What garbage is this.

There is an appointment. I cannot function because there is an appointment.

It's the last day of the Narratess sale! Grab THE CHAMOS PROJECT for $1.99! books2read.com/u/mdBDo5

He told ChatGPT he was a nazі іncel who wanted to dіe, then asked how many people you’d have to shoot at his school to get on the news. ChatGPT helped him pick his ammo, pick his target, pick the best time for the massacre, and then told him how to use the gun. Then he did. youtu.be/IbG-JGdGniY

Traumatized monsters are traumatized by more monsters as they seek to destroy a starving darkness.

'Alleged' and 'motives unknown' for articles about the man who burnt a warehouse down, filmed himself doing it, and expressly stated his motives during is certainly a look. Can't have people *getting ideas* now. A capitalist utopia sure looks a lot like a dystopia to the working class, doesn't it?

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉

Solemn in his divine form 🌘

Today is my birthday! And the best gift you could give me is to share my artwork 🎉

I was expecting the number to decrease with all the wallowing but it is larger now... Is it fun to watch me suffer? I mean you're in the right place if that's your thing, but it's a little jarring from this side.

Cry randomly and sleep intermittently throughout the day is certainly a mood. Wish it weren't my mood but I can say that about most.

Played a bunch of Spiritfarer so I could cry over things that make sense. Unfortunately this did nothing for the self-loathing so...still...working on that. Not sure how to treat that. Is there a pill, a salve, some kind of cream?

Too broken to hype myself, The Critic's Jay Sherman take it away...

I don't know who I woke up as but I don't think I like them very much and I hope they go away soon.

Walk did not fix the weird mood I woke up in and more sleep won't either...on account of I slept too much already. Love the ripple effect of missing any dose of medication, truly, it is a fun game of "who will I be today" for like the next month (at least).

I dunno if I'm touch-starved or the mood has hit 'everything feels extra' and it's turned the thing into a safety blanket but my skirt is gently caressing my legs everywhere I go and I am never taking it off. If I die on the stairs from getting tangled in my own skirt, know I died happy.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Was watching Pandorum, wondering why it was so familiar. It's because I watched it when it came out and did not care for the ending...or the whole second half really. It's one of those movies that's great so long as you're not paying attention to the plot. Terrible plot. Otherwise a good time.

1k new words in #hitch, and I have slammed these men into a tree...but not...not the way I normally-- It's a normal tree. They crashed. I am fine, really.

I did not stress eat a 25 piece chocolate bar. You did that. How could you.

Things I am/should be doing: *Writing the second book of my horror fantasy series *Writing two separate standalone horror romances **designing/drawing covers too *Writing short stories for submissions (3 in progress) *Writing and recording a horror podcast *Writing story for a game **all art too

I have so much to do my brain's decided to do nothing at all. So helpful.

I'm too crazy to work, not cute enough to sell my body, veins too broken to sell plasma, and no one wants my organs...and they're tired of me offering. All I have are stories. So...how the hell do I sell those? Seriously, my methods clearly aren't working I dunno what to do here.

I'm guessing it's a sign of the autism everyone insists I have that I don't like faces on my wall. Edgar Allan Poe is up there because he looks like a sad cartoon. Most though...no. I feel I'm being watched. I have trouble looking for art refs for candid things too, always feel I'm intruding.

There are too many streaming services. Everyone apologize to Blockbuster. Maybe if we ask real nice they'll come back and we can burn these pretenders to the ground. Except Shudder, it gets to live. Don't take my indie horrors I will bite you.

Cat thinks it is breakfast time because I am awake. He also thinks screaming at, hitting and biting me will get him food. Not a smart cat. I'm going to put him in a box.

AAAAAHHH

Guess what just went live?! Hidden Report is officially out! You can get it on my website at www.celestialrose.studio , or you can find it at places like Smashwords or Barnes and Noble! #hiddenreport #yaoi #bl #mlm #booksky

What's worse than writing no words? Writing 1k words of something entirely new that you have no idea what to do with! (I am disappointed in the gif results for 'fuck me')

My desire to write My need to recover otherworldly horrors from worldly horrors ( •_•) (•_• ) ( ง )ง ୧( ୧ ) /︶\ /︶\

Husband went to bed early. My tired ass wishes for snuggles...but I have been waiting for bread to rise for hours and finally put it in the oven so I cannot go lay down. This is a silly problem to have, but it is mine, and I am mad about it.

Today’s #IndieApril spotlight is Vincent Lore, author of Friend of the Damned and Lock the Last Door! Give them a follow at Vincent Lore [Coffee] and be sure to check out their website, ko-fi.com/A0307Q3

From #Beliegered we have...stuffed, because it's all I could find. It is about food though, so, not naughty. >.> (this book is so close to finished I am trying to get back to it)

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

No, really, lookit. You might find something you like. >.>

Thx Mary! Still chipping away on the sequel to WENDIGOGO. If you dig wintry horror with gore, snark, cryptids, cannibalism as social justice, & nerdiness, check it out! Recently went thru a sensitivity read as well. books2read.com/u/mv5BzX or graythornpub.com

Thank you so much for this! Excited to connect with more people. I don’t have a specific project to promote, but folks can sign up for my newsletter at agangevine.com

Fed cats, cleaned cat boxes, rode a mile on elliptical, started laundry, washed dishes...need to make more coffee...put out stuff for bread to bake later, checked news, screamed...why still tired...opened three different manuscripts only to close them again...still tired, why am-- I forgot to eat.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
