My book sales this month are beyond abysmal and disheartening. Honestly sometimes I feel like I should just stick to promoting and forget publishing. My resources page and reviews get way more engagement than my own books. Hard not to consider just throwing in the towel on them.

I know I've said it before, but right now I feel the need to say it again because of a conversation I just had with someone. You are valid, no matter your sex, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and all the other things that make you *you*. You have the right to live, and be loved and happy. ❤️

So, I managed to write 1200+ words yesterday with two 20-minute writing sprints. Insanely faster than my usual pace! The scene I'm working on right now is from the previous draft and is therefore mostly editing, but I may have found my new writing routine.✍️

It's upsetting to see people refusing to accept the simple fact that people can change. "We just want them to be held accountable." But what if they already took accountability long ago and apologized to the people they've hurt? People aren't allowed to be human anymore, I guess.

So, I found out I've been following someone I legit do not remember ever following. I checked their posts and couldn't find a single reason why. Either they've changed their account, or it's some kind of weird bug. Or my finger somehow slipped on the "Follow" button and I never realized it.

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but you matter. You're a human being too. Spread love. Don't give up. Seek help if you need to; don’t isolate yourself. It’s okay to not be okay. Don’t listen to that stupid voice telling you you're worthless. You have value. You are loved. ❤️

Apologies for pretty much posting only my snipfics on here. I've decided to heavily reduce my time on social media for a while. I post my writing from time and time to share it with my followers and mutuals, but that's mostly it. Again, sorry for the lack of activity. Hope you're all doing good.
