Unsolicited writing advice, no. #103876: Never worry about whether what you write "matters." It matters because you do. And one day, someone else may read it and understand that they matter, too. This is how we build a world, one connection at a time.

I've seen a few people mention (one to me) others before and now today that libraries are advocating free stuff/not sales for the author. Libraries don't acquire books by magic. They buy copies with money. It can be hundreds/thousands of sales. People pay taxes to use the library. Nothing is free.

FYI, Amazon will no longer enable the downloading of ebooks to exterior devices starting February 26th. Here’s a tutorial on how to download your ebooks off of Amazon. You can use Calibre (free software) to reformat the kindle books to be used on other devices. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2DQuRqn/

Happy Tuesday, #readers and #writers! With a new book out, I'm currently: * Writing a catch-all blog post that discusses how to best support me as an indie author & poet. * Updating the press kit * And much more! Thanks for your patience! #indieauthor #booksky #writesky 💙📚

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

I go out into the Wilds and, honestly, take a while to figure out what speaks to me. At first, I'm scared and have no idea if anything will speak to me. And then, I find a pretty stone that shimmers when you hold it up to the light. It gives me hope and I carry it wherever I go. #writingprompt

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

I think I have to go with Bram Stoker's "Dracula," though Alexandre Dumas' "The Count Of Monte Cristo" is a close one XD
