Mood / Inspiration board for Jamirh! I always knew that one of Jamirh's things would by "Great swordsman", especially since I technically started out by writing Ebryn, and hey - maybe there's a spoiler in here somewhere :P

Waiting for the day people start saying "if authors don't outright state they wrote their books by carving them into clay tablets, I'm gonna assume it's genAI" That is to say, I think we are about 6 months away from someone getting dogpiled for using MS Word.

Looking to escape reality for a few hours? Unfortunately I cannot offer permanent escape, but I can offer a completed three-book science-fantasy series with a supplementary book of short stories and entirely too much extra lore on my blog that you can spend hours lost in. bf.lizsauco.com/lostblades

So tropes. I've discovered no one knows what they are anymore. They've become so overused in marketing that while they are helpful for quickly getting at the vibes of a story, a lot of what you see on graphics aren't actual tropes. My hot take today is that settings aren't tropes, but you do you XD

All right, this is so in my lane I gotta make a comment, so sorry for the interruption of cat pictures book marketing, but lessgo: This is all part of a long running capitalism vs disabled bodies saga that's been going on for literal centuries because they're ideologically opposed 🧵

Amazon's Kindle Unlimited Exclusivity Agreement is predatory, coercive, and exploitative. It traps indie authors in the ecosystem and hence traps readers there, too. But over 60% of indie authors have some or all of their books available on other platforms, saying "no" to the devil's bargain.
