How I feel: fuck gen-AI

So dangerous to casually know a writer. They might use your name to commit atrocities in their book. Naming characters directly after friends is too close, and coming up with names is a hassle... I apologize to my old regular customer who's a sweetheart but I named an antagonist after 😅

Website is LIVE! lapislove.ca

Exploring new coding things!! I can't code myself much but I found out I *can* understand editing certain elements in it hehe

Not gonna edit it but thinking about how Soul Piece would be reallllly good with the main character having been reborn, if I knew about that concept 10 years ago the first version might have had an understandable rather than way-too-intense beginning

Adding a written playlist of character songs for my book and uhhhhhh how do I have this much Ed Sheeran when I've never listened to him casually outside of recommended songs about content pining? Also found out I have a couple artists a couple of times, never noticed in the last 6 years of this list

Sure I can make all my OC's houses in Sims but can I do it in Webkinz,,,

Making website, making making website, take an embed and I load in in the website, (This post might also show up on the website lmao)

Not sure what to do with myself while beta reading is in progress so I'm setting up my website! After a week of research, I figured out what to do and how to do it. Now it just takes time.... and a domain once they stop lying that the ones I want are available lol

Editing done, Soul Piece has been sent to beta! I'm trying my hardest not to jump around from being so excited! Release date will be June 1st~

Fun fact about my book: I rewrote it 3 times, and a character that only appeared the 3rd time as a result of me liking him from an AU of mine ended up bringing with him a giant plot point and many opportunities for the main ship to get closer

Wrist do not start acting up now

Spent half the day looking at website building sites, only to be mostly disappointed. The options were full of AI, coding, or made my computer crash. "Why can't I find one like Carrd? I like Carrd," I kept saying. In the end I realized: just update Carrd and use it as my official author page 😅

That feeling when you make some placeholder names that are only alright and then after a while you're like "fuck, those are their names now" because there's too much association at that point,,,

I just found out folks are out here charging people money to join a webring? So just to be clear, membership in our wearing is 100% free, we just check to make sure members fit the theme and add the code!

The rough feeling when you have an entire tragic history for an OC but it's the circumstances of their birth and no one actually tells them about it and there's no way to wiggle it in to the book 😔 I don't need to wait to be interviewed, I'll interview myself and infodump once it's published lol

Edited 4 chapters in the past 24 hours! So excited to release this to my beta reader hehe

Character has issues with their father? In the playlist I bestow unto ye: Perfect by Simple Plan

I am so on track to publishing June 1st like I'm hoping for ❤️❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈

Finally figured out how to use Instagram in an author way without needing to use pictures! I *knew* most people wouldn't just download a background image, edit with text, then post it as its own thing.. Had to read an article on how to do it on Insta though 😅 social media is not my strongest point

It looks promising that #soulpiece will be out June 1st!!! I've been editing like crazy, and it's amazing to see just how much I've evolved as a writer since initially 'completing' it. I'm very excited to bring y'all my very first official published book! #bskywriter #author #upcomingbook

Every time I finish a chapter edit I can't help but sing another one bites the dust lol

Reminder to self: It doesn't have to be perfect! Someone out there will like it and it's better than never releasing it at all!

If I give up and fall asleep before finally getting this one chapter edited please smack me with a fish thank you

The thing I should be concentrating on most are my fricken final edits for the book on the verge of being published!!! Why am I doing literally anything except that 😭

I've officially started on this! Finally settled on their circumstances ❤️

I know I've had a bunch of different story ideas again (which is a great sign about my health) but I'm so stuck in a book I read 4 times already and keep thinking about writing something with similar simplistic living vibes. Rags to riches unconditional devotion hardworking partners with cooking

New story idea about a specialized clone..... Been adding on to it every night to fall asleep and I feel like I've got a decent concept out now

I'm on another reading binge but omg I'm holding myself back from starting writing yet another new story. Please finish one book at a time first!!

Btw this is what my book ideas look like when I quickly jot them down with and without solid titles. Wonder what I'm always thinking about 🤔 🤔 🤔 #omegaverse #wips #writing

Hehehe #stereotypicalomega may be pretty much done thanks to a burst of inspiration...

Finally began final edits for #soulpiece again!! Chapter 4 down, and after chapter 5 I know it will be a lot easier 💪

Guess who finally arrived!!!

If you want to get a little cry in, here's a #mangarec 🥲 very bittersweet story about a man who moves in to help out his late brother's widow. It is omegaverse but not explicit in the least

Aw man not *another* story idea right before finally calling it a night?? I haven't worked on any of my WIPs in what seems like ages and I'm ready to have another baby?? I think I may have to adjust my sleep schedule to actually get some work done..

How is it that I keep getting so distracted I forget the thing I need to do first and foremost: final edit of my first completed book!!! Aaaa

Doing research to name top tier battle mechs and there are so many good ones out there. Learn something new every time I sit down to write!

My brain: Intergalactic mermaids with bug-like exoskeletons to withstand the elements of space, they often use giant space turtles as shields, let's build a society for them, Also my brain: *forgets the word for cheese*

I was trying to brainstorm intergalactic enemies and natural phenomenon and stuff and asked my wife what is evil and aggressive in the ocean because I like thinking of space as a giant ocean.. Her reply: "me when I get there"

Still not over my OC Tyler/Tiger. He's such an upbeat idiot afraid of nothing and I love him so much

Naming OCs for books: Terrible. Takes ages. Depletes my cognitive function. Naming characters for DND: Easy. Done in a minute. Always interesting and unique. No brain power used. ?!?!!??!???! Took me 2 hours to decide on Bastian for a main character and 2 seconds to decide on Anemone for DND
