Multifloral Kitty - Botanimal Pet Portraits [ #art #illustration #botanimals ]

So comfy. 🐾😪 If media folders were an option on this site I could make one with all the cat pics I upload in addition to folders for art. Ahh, if only #cats

what I'm saying is, I slag off publishers a lot but mate, until you've been on that side, you cannot comprehend the horror that is authors.

Happy Pride

It appears yesterday's thread on the need for better editing struck a chord. as well it might. On which [MARKETING KLAXON]: --I will be doing a self-editing workshop at the RNA conference, Sunday 2 August --I have a how-to romance guide coming out in Dec, including a whole self-editing section!

Sooo I finally wrote a project introduction post for my upcoming Spoonie Bestiary collection (launching 16th June!) 👀 Turns out I was feeling weirdly anxious about sharing this project with everyone lol. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a... #ArtistSupport #spoonie #ChronicPain #ChronicWarrior

Hi! I draw scrungly portraits of people’s cats sometimes (see my currently pinned post)! Here are a couple of examples of recent commissions:

i overdid it and now i'm overdone >:(

Happy Pride! I have books on sale! For $10, you can pick up all of French Letters—yes, the title IS a joke—a trio of queer romances (x/x, m/f/x, f/x) set in magic 1820s France and told in letters and diary entries. Gender, magic, murder, letters: feliciadavin.itch.io/letterspride...

As a bisexual THIS IS ALLYSHIP! I dont want recognition. I don't want a parade. I want the world to be more annoying for everyone.

Anyway there are still publishers who edit, and my advice to anyone being offered ✨debut✨ publication is to ignore the parts about sprayed edges and look very hard at your proposed editor's current reputation with their current authors. Because you want editing more than you want pink foil.

Do y’all ever think about how every single good day of your life is connected by the fact you didn’t go cave diving that day?

i'm sorry but what the fuck are we doing, here. like what in the actual fuck. how. critically-acclaimed writer who has won SIX DIFFERENT AWARDS is going "this doesn't pay well or regularly enough to keep doing it". what is the publishing industry even FOR at this point

Real ones remember this absolute classic by Ursula Vernon redwombatstudio.com

the book ideas that keep you up at night and are commercially questionable! the ones you feel in your bones! the fucked-up economy of publishing is taking this (and so much else) from us and it makes me want to spit!!!

was just reading an interview with a writer who said, in essence, that they have a 2nd book idea but don't know if they'll write it bc they don't know if they'll make any money on it. and this made me blisteringly sad. everyone needs to eat & pay rent but I want to read the books ppl WANT to write!

This is one of my favorite sets in my collection. Somewhere out there in the 1960s, a kitten and bird were pals. 💕

As vivid & fresh as if they'd been cut, and painted, this morning in the garden: flowers in a glass vase by Rachel Ruysch, 1700. Today is her birthday.

A little preview of the tiny filler pins for my Warped Ocean collection! 😁💕

The Shabti @megaeralwrites.bsky.social Spooky 1930s pulp. We're gonna flimflam a ghost. Dionysus in Wisconsin, @pretensesoup.bsky.social Spooky 1960s magic academia. Turning into a god? 0 stars. The Changeling @sjgochenour.bsky.social All polyamory all goblins all magical livestock all the time!

I just got my digital copy of this and read through about the first half of it on my desktop because I didn't want to wait until my iPad had charged to read it It's *GOOD* good. The art is outstanding. I need to read the novel again so I can appreciate that the adaptation work is also outstanding.

"What is [small org] doing to help and support trans people?" Bitch I ain't posting that on the internet where GB News can see it! Are you stupid??? The local community knows, the people who need help are getting it, that's all that matters. Get off the internet and find somewhere you can help too

A reminder, as we enter into this difficult period for trans ppl in the UK that most of the work that actually makes a difference in the day to day lives of trans communities cannot be posted online. Just because people aren't shouting about what they're doing, doesn't mean they're doing nothing.

It's Pride! Buy my books! They've got: - magic - libraries - Shakespeare - Madison, WI - the late 1960s/early 1970s - mythology - so your boyfriend is turning into an ancient god but you have to finish your PhD winnowingfanpress.com #booksky #romancelandia
