Results for this Draft2Digital's July (which includes the Smashwords Summer Sale) are in. And... I will be pulling my book from the platform. Even when free, there wasn't enough traffic to remotely justify the upkeep cost. Authors can't go wide if readers don't want to.
I see people ask for indie author romance self-recs, but I never mention my THIN book cause people usually don't want... - F/F lovers - Fat love interests - A melancholic MC - Suspension of reality that isn't fantasy But if you want something different, then check out my book!
Thank you for the birthday wishes yesterday! I didn't mind the rainy weather; my first time it ever rained on my b-day, which was nice, since I could stay inside and have hot tea. As an author, I could say I wish some people read my books... But I'll be good😆
Happy birthday to me. It rained! Okay. Hear me out. It is the first time in 40 years where it actually rained on my birthday. In Vancouver. AKA Raincouver. Is this a good thing or a very bad thing?
Someone just reminded me that I liked one of the worst characters of a show that no one remembers, and I actually drew a (old) picture of her. This is Jewelia from Shadow Raiders / War Planets. One of like, two fan arts on the entire internet. Anyone remember any of this? Just me?
Reason why I don't get any writing or art done. Because I am a jock.
Few hours left. Free ebook. Last time this offer is being made on Smashwords before the book is pulled from their platform forever. www.smashwords.com/books/view/1...
Beautiful Dreamer
15-year-old Ruta finds herself trapped in the Sleepverse's Citadel where her many Selves gather at night; a place that no Dreamer has visited before. For her Selves, the Citadel is paradise. For Ruta,...

Last day tomorrow for the Smaswords Summer Sale, and the last time my Beautiful Dreamer novel will be participating. If you'd like to read my work, this is your chance to get a free copy.
To all the Nigerian bots trying to "promo" my work. I write LGBT books. Which, last time I checked, a lot of LGBT things are highly illegal in your country. I don't support people who want to hurt me. And if your morals are so low you'd sell them for 50 bucks, you deserve your place in the fire.
Gotten to the villain lines in my audio book editing. Holy crap, I love doing villains. Chills.
I'm nearly 40. 40 years of the same sideline dismissal and even active removal from communities. The ArtStation thing stings super bad. I'm an artist. I went to art school. But I'm rejected. It's not in my head. This hurts. I can't cheer for people behind a wall. Nor can they cheer for me.
Just discovered I am shadowbanned on Tumblr, ArtStation, and Threads right now. This is fine...this is fine...this is fine. THIS NOT FINE!!!
look what I got in the mail! JK. I was super excited. guys were expecting a Charizard since the Customs form said Pokemon on the side. Sorry, but this is my Mewthree (inspired by Mewtwo). Loved the end result and she looks great in my house.
When you are weird and want to celebrate the things that make you weird but it makes people uncomfortable...and no one claps. Somedays I wish I wasn't that special.
For the first time in my life, it looks like it might actually rain on my birthday.
Got called "Legendary" and "Hot" today, respectfully. Thanks for taking global warming so seriously.
I don't know if any other authors, artists, and creatives feel this way, but I was a little nervous and even a little sad knowing that the figurine for one of my cherished characters is likely not going to one of her super fans. I'm grateful to have outside reach, but I feel like I let people down.
Whoever wanted the colored Mewblade figurine...it has been claimed. Wrapped up, tarrifs paid, shipping out on Monday. The 3 matte black ones are still available on my VLK249 ko-fi, but the color one is gone.
Mewblade has abs of steel! (Bronze.)
it has been barely two days and I already had to get a sign... Giant statue spoiler alert tax in case anyone was wondering why.
Mewblade - Letum Falcifer "Death Carrying A Scythe." Decider of Fate, goddess of entropy. Mewblade is a Genetic Reaper Legendary Fakemon, a Mewthree. She is based after the Pokémon, Mewtwo. The statue was designed in to inspire my pursuit to understand an entropic universe.
I still can't believe Mewblade is now in my house. My weird Pokemon dreams have been filled; my tribute to my favorite personal character in statue. Will talk more about her later.
Look what came in! Mewblade in da house! (More pics later)
She's here! She's here! My girl is here!!!
