Most publishers (there are always exceptions) decide whether or not to buy a second book (or a third etc) based on how the previous book did. So when you pirate a book in most cases it’s less about the money you just stole from both author and publisher it’s about the future book you just killed.

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed. There was a shimmer - a demon appeared. "Curious. What ritual is this?" "I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!" "I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

I was minding my business, eating my dinner and watching videos, when one of my book covers flashed on the screen... a negative review on my FYP. Just for me. How nice.
Sometimes, when I text everyone I know and no one replies, I assume it means I died and am now in limbo but no one bothered to tell me that either.
Really dragging my heels on this final round of dev edits. I'm ready to say goodbye to these characters... but I'm also not.

I'm on a quest to find writing inspiration in media outside of 80s and early 90s romantic comedies, so I've been watching more things. Over the break, I binged two seasons of Resident Alien, watched Alien Romulus (twice!), and made it through 1/2 of Beau is Afraid
Anytime anything remotely positive or hopeful happens in my career, something immediately comes along to smack my writing confidence right back below the earth's crust. Like, don't get too comfortable!! Never forget that you're meant to suffer!!
I'm pretty much cooked on this app. I almost never like posts. Even if I *do* enjoy it, it never occurs to me to click that heart for some reason.
Okay, so who added me to a starter pack? How did you even find me??
There are seven items on my to-do list. I updated one page on my website and am now taking a four hour break. Thank you.
First post is me hoping to get MCR tickets in four minutes 🍀🍀🍀🍀
