If a reader clicks "buy" on a ebook, they own that book the same way a reader buys a hard copy of a book. The idea that readers are only leasing ebooks when they clearly clicked the "buy" option is asinine. Buying though doesn't give the right to pirate the books out. It never has, it never will.

Just a few of my furbabies!

How's everyone's writing today? Good, bad, non-existent today? I'm trying to convince myself to work on edits for Turning the Tide, but I have yet to succeed. Oh well, it's still early. On the brighter side, I'm about a 100 pages away from finishing. #amwriting #amediting

I need to work on my novel, and here I am wasting my time away. I think a nap may be in order.. Maybe then I'll be able to actually focus on that instead of doomscrolling.

In my Warriors novels, not to be confused with Erin Hunter's, there is an ancient evil god who tries to force people to worship him or face destruction. Good thing there are several supernaturally gifted teenagers willing to fight against him to protect them. (1/2) #booksky #books #reading

If a national protest occurs regarding Tiktock, and the right to free speech occurs throughout major cities in the US, I won't be surprised. One thing I did learn that's a bit comforting is that other countries where it's not banned can still view content by US members.

I get that the Tiktok ban seems like it's not affecting everyone, but for the millions who use Tiktok and have made a brand for themselves, it being their sole income? It's a big deal. Let's also take into account that if the US Govnt can break one of the US amendments, it'll break others to

Heard earlier that there are people complaining about ideas being stolen, when it turns out they're just complaining about other authors writing under the same theme. Books about dragonriders, vampire hunter books, humans with magical powers are themes and can be used over and over by any author.

The government's ban on Tiktok is taking away free speech, something our amendments allows us to do under the first amendment. This is a complete outrage. constitutioncenter.org/the-constitu...

It's hard to believe that I'm still working on the final edits of my sci-fi Turning the Tide, a novel I began in 2012, with the cover purchased between 2020 and 2021. I want to finish this novel so bad I can taste it, but I think a part of me is afraid to, and there's no reason for me to be so.

I'll never understand the need to donate money to billionaires for their campaigns when there are people who are less fortunate who could use those donations a whole lot more.

I wonder if the water's cold?

I keep hoping that someday soon, my art will vastly improve..

Why does it feel later than it actually is?

Because of a broken foot, I'm off work for the next four weeks, and that's going to hit me hard financially, particularly when I have bills to pay and animals to feed. I have books available on Amazon, but unless I get a ton of sales, I won't make much money off them. This is going to be a struggle.

Funny... I injured my foot in late November and the hospital diagnosed it as a bad sprain when X-rays showed no broken bones. Fast forward to today and an ortho doctor had an MRI done on the same foot that's been causing me pain since then, and it's discovered that I actually fractured my foot.

A criminal reelected President is now hiring criminals to help him run the country. This shouldn't surprise anyone, but should concern everyone.

I'm gonna let you in on something that you might not know about. For nearly six years I suffered from depression after being wrongfully accused and lied about on Twitter, and from the constant deaths that occurred in my family one after another. I've been to a therapist, a psychiatrist, even (1/5)

So, I'm trying a different type of calming collar; this one is purple colored instead of white, and unlike the previous collar there's a distinctive smell to it. I'm also trying hemp for cats on him, as well as moved the feliway diffusers away from the windows. Fingers crossed this helps calm him.
