I think it was when I turned in a manuscript and the editor came back with "This is fine as-is, I've got nothing substantial apart from minor quibbles." Still charged me, though. Expensive praise.

"Hey LJ why do you follow so many people? You should have more followers than people you follow." I follow writers, artists, and sex workers. I unfollow if I don't like something. Writers, because of shared interest. Artists, for a pretty timeline. Sex workers, for their non-work posting.

Update: I reported the comment to the Royal Road moderation team. They removed the nasty comment, removed the bad faith rating, and blocked the hater from doing it again.

God damn it, *this* is how I find out someone stole my work? And they got *paid* for it?!

Hooray, got my first ever true hater! I was wondering when one would finally make themselves known. I feel kinda bad for them, though? It's glaringly obvious that my work made them feel inadequate, and they went looking for a way to put me down while affirming their intelligence to themself.

When one of my loudest advocates is an award-winning author who I didn't know before she read and fell in love with my writing, I know I'm doing *something* right 🧡

I keep seeing this sentiment along with that one Vonnegut quote, and it's like... do you think we treat words like a magic spell? No, they do have tremendous power. Specific to Vonnegut, the Vietnam cultural protests changed how the US wages war and put a dampener on Afghanistan and Iraq. 1/3

Pretty sure that some of the sex workers following me don't exist. As in, their content is AI generated.

I've been sick, and woke up in a cold sweat this morning realising I forgot to schedule my chapters. Done, and before the 1 pm deadline, but bloody hell...
