I really hate setting work/career boundaries with the knowledge that I will run myself into the ground if I go beyond that point, which means declining opportunities that would enhance one aspect of my life and destroy the rest. Then hating myself for declining because I'm disabled.

I love doing extra work for my day job that will go unnoticed, unappreciated, and/or completely unused. Shout-out to the dev who got laid off a few months back. I remember when he found my documentation on a jank setup I created and thanked me for dumping code snippets and such there. I miss him.

Happy holidays from one of the main antagonists of my next novel MAKING MONSTERS, the demonic gang leader Corpsetoucher! There's no better way to introduce this character than posting a stunning and absolutely wild holiday artwork by the amazing @martinabelli.bsky.social 🖤 (1/3)

THIS, a thousand times THIS

I can't do math. Today is actually the 5 days until BE NOT AFRAID's release. Have a trope map instead of another seraph (he's coming back tomorrow, I promise, he's just degrading his quality further). books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

Regarding the fun IngramSpark price sheet debacle yesterday: someone noticed that revision fees were removed from the sheet. A sales rep at IS posted the only potential silver lining in this mess on Threads, tho I absolutely suspect IS will announce this much later to win back favor. 1/

Five more days until BE NOT AFRAID's release! I'm too tired to say anything witty about the seraph or to find a snippet. If you like goodies (prints & bookmark!) and are interested in a bookplate, don't forget you can still get that on my ko-fi until release date! books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

It's probably more important than ever right now to support indie authors by buying direct where you can, mainly digital. I offer discounts on my physical books via IngramSpark direct links on my website to try to save you a couple dollars a copy in the US (and some books in the UK).

If you see your favourite indies, especially those who are wide or avoid Amazon, raise their prices... We all just had two emails in less than 24h: - Smashwords is cutting down its royalty rates, especially at lower price points - Ingramspark is raising most of its printing costs again

Look at all these beautiful titles by talented indie authors. There's 64 for of them, and they can be yours for $45! This bundle is on sale from December 1th to the 15th, so snatch it up before it's gone! 💙📚 🌈📚 📢📚 itch.io/b/3409/end-o...

IngramSpark ruining my day with price increases again. I did a quick calculation for one of my books and I can eat the cost because it's minimal with the buffer I have in place, but I have a feeling I'll need to bump up prices in another year or two to actually be properly compensated 🫠

Trying to redesign my professional portfolio site is torture because I never know what theme I want to go with so it just never gets done. That and wanting to make it cool while knowing it won't be practical and then starting an inner battle. 🫠
