Well the thing is, if you COULD write for an audience and guarantee a living, we all would. But even hacks starve, so you may as well do your own weird shit.

What the heck are Microsoft Rewards? On second thought, don't answer... I don't care, I'm just mystified why they think I have a "Microsoft Rewards account" at all

I don't promote my hardcopy editions -- they're more a stealth upgrade (added content and such). So it's a treat when I have a month where they contribute real revenue!

Just read Hungerstone by @katalicedunn.bsky.social Flat-out fabulous❤️Great writing filled with gothic stylings like "a pall of rain slakes across the dirt, churning it into mud; the weather has turned wild and violent"

I'm warming up for my next writing project by reading books with similar age protagonists. I just finished Shut Up, This Is Serious, a YA book (not speculative) by Oakland author Carolina Ixta. I started just curious about the voice, but I read the whole thing! Great book 🎉 amzn.to/4pGHgF6
