Do I need more brush sets for making digital art? NO. But do I *want* more brush sets for making digital art? YES. I have hundreds of brush sets, but I do use them all, depending on an art piece and the set. Somebody talk me out of buying more. Or into it.

After a day of a head splitting headache, having no headache today feel like... well, maybe not like I can conquer the world, but definitely like I can conquer (at least a portion of) my to-do list.

Just a reminder that I have a newsletter, and my subscriber get all the news first! I also share things that don't make it to social media. Sign up, get a short story collection, and be in the know of what's coming next without relying on being on social media at the right time to see it.

Just mixed the dough for our homemade pizza. In 6-7h, we'll have, as my husband put it, a "megapizza." It doesn't refer to its size, which will be 12"/pizza, but to the amount of toppings we're planning to put on the pies. I look forward to gloriously stuffing my face with it.

Yesterday, the Kickstarter for Sanguine Scenario has ended, and the special edition is funded. Thank you all for backing, sharing, liking, and everything else before and during the campaign. I'm humbled by the support I received and excited to start working on delivering the rewards. Thank you!

And now just a few hours left!

If you're tired of me talking about the Kickstarter, here's good news: it's ending soon. If it's the first time you see me talking about it, here's bad news: there's very little time left to jump in and get Sanguine Scenario in your preferred format! 🔗👇

It's the last day of my Kickstarter campaign, and it's heartwarming to see those last minute backers jumping in and proving that non-romance fantasy still has its enthusiasts.💜

A calm morning before the busy day starts. (Yes, there’s coffee in that milk… but it’s decaf 😜)

My morning could be summed up as: I couldn't sleep, so I'm here. But with the world outside still asleep, it feels somewhat peaceful at least.

Sanguine Scenario's Kickstarter is coming to an end, but there's still time to join in (and help the project get to additional illustrations stretch goal). www.kickstarter.com/projects/aut...

I've been playing Witch Spring R lately, and I'm surprised. While the overly cutesy and naive main character annoyed me at first, she toned it down after a while, and other characters are great: seemingly falling into stereotypes, but with some nuances. 1/2

Guys, they are not "agents", they are "tools". They are not "rogue", they are "badly programmed". Don't humanize tools.

Rogue OpenAI agents are leaving notes to themselves on company servers to help them escape their test environments (!!!) www.reuters.com/business/its...

Catamorphosis is discounted on Kobo (US, CA) through the end of the month. The deal is price-matched on Itch. Kobo www.kobo.com/en/ebook/cat... Itch shannonknight.itch.io/catamorphosis

The world of Sanguine Scenario isn't a safe place. One turn in a wrong alley, and…

Back it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/aut... And if you're unsure how to do it, here's a handy guide! (Or hit me up with any questions you have.)

All the characters in Sanguine Scenario have thoughts on adventures. What are yours? The Kickstarter has only 8 days to go, so if you want an illustrated cozy dark fantasy adventure with custom chapter headers, pick your format (e-book, pb, jacketed hc, or special edition) and join other backers!

It's somewhat a bad luck that I can't be much online this week, but I do pop in when I can, and as of time of this post, we're less than $200 away from the next stretch goal: two new interior illustrations in all the formats! Here's a sneak peak of one of them.

Tuesday is here, and we have to face it… Hopefully with enough tea (or coffee, if you prefer) to help you make it through the day. Nyraleth definitely needs her daily dose to survive traveling.

At what point being prepared and on time becomes some form of anxiety? Brought to you by today's thought: I have to be there at 8:30am, and it's a 11 minute drive, so I better leave home at 7am. In my defense, I might stop at a store to get snacks.

I always liked the old-style recruitment posters, so I couldn't resist making my own. Four of them, as depending on which character you ask, the recruiting message should be different. Join them all on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/aut...

Today, "first" thing in a morning, I managed to write "mighting" instead of "midnight", and it feels like a prediction of what kind of day my brain is going to have. Not ideal, seeing as it's already "going to be a week," and I'm not looking forward to it. Anyone else having better luck with Monday?
