Thanks to @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social for reminding me of this Ursula K. le Guin quote.

Couldn't agree with this more. I don't think I've talked about it before here, and rarely do in other circles, but I struggle with chronic fatigue and it's so easy to feel guilty for resting or being limited in how much I can do. But this. This is important. Rest is important. Look after yourself πŸ’š

For me personally, setting a price on my own work is a huge struggle (oh hello imposter syndrome!) but discussions like this can definitely help! So if anyone feels comfortable sharing and talking about this, definitely let Juliana know! πŸ’š

ICYMI, I wrote a novel! It's a comedy fantasy about a lesbian werewolf and vampire detective duo who get embroiled in a conspiracy involving gangster witches, toll trolls, a divinegoose, and more as they hunt down the elusive God Thief. Check it out at www.blackwellwriter.com/products/wol...

I watched this earlier today and I honestly can't recommend it enough! It was an absolute joy to watch!

Outside of mapping, I have discovered the joy of making cute things with crochet. This was my latest creation that still makes me happy when I look at it, even if it's far from perfect. What other creative hobbies do you have? (Body was made from the Chibi Basic Body crochet pattern by Crochethea)

Not gonna lie, this week has been....challenging. However, I've finally gotten started on my first lil map of 2025 and that feels pretty good. So here's a lil sneaky peek at the current WIP. Hope you're all looking after yourselves as best you can out there!

I've already been pretty hyped for this game, but learning there is a Solo Supplement has raised that a fair bit! I once dreamed of making a mapmaking exploration RPG, and then Three Sails Studios came along with this and I couldn't be happier! Can't wait to get my hands on it!!

Spotlight on the cartographer who worked on Tolkien's Middle Earth and D&D's Forgotten Realms As that person constantly flipping back to the maps when traveling along in a story or game, thank you for your passion Karen

What helps you get the gears going again after a holiday break? My energy, motivation and inspiration has been sorely lacking this past week or so. (Having a cold sure hasn't helped, but that's pretty much gone now, the struggles remain though)

I'll be making some maps for my #ttrpg soon. QUESTION: Are there any vector graphic/brush packs/ map kits I can buy to help make that process faster? ** I might just end up free handing it, based on what I find, but never hurts to ask. ❀️ #cartography #fantasymaps #scifimap #astrafauna

my goal for 2025 is to level up my pixel art skills and build my up my portfolio! oh, meet Jim. Jim's going to serve as a base template I can use to experiment with characters and learning animation :D πŸ‘€ what's your art goal this year? #PixelArt #Aseprite #DigitalArt

Happy New Year folks! I hope you'll all find some peace and joy in the year to come, and keep spreading a little light to fight the darkness. πŸ’š

I hope you'll have some good times with your friends and family in these days ✨ Happy Holidays! Francesca

This week will be busy with the family, so just want to take the opportunity now to wish you all a Mappy Christmas! ;) Whether you're into Christmas or not, I hope you have a wonderful week full of love, peace and joy! πŸ’š
