Dear #BookSky, #Booktok, readers, et al, Buying an author's work is nice. Welcome, even. But telling them how much you enjoyed it, or leaving a kind review? That keeps an author going far more than the pittance they get from royalties. Signed, A Struggling Indie Author

Times like these, I find myself strongly wishing SCP-2578 was real. (As opposed to SCP-113, which I always wish was real)

Make sure you buy banned books. Get a library card and borrow banned books. Read banned books.

Me: "I have some free time, I should write on my next novel." Also me: "My party just hit a really fascinating point in my campaign, so I should load up Foundry and create some custom items and lore docs."

Heyla and well met! My name is Opalin Hubay Pickens, though I tend to go by TheKeeper in most parts of the internet. I'm a writer with my debut novel slated to come out at the end of January 2025. I'm also part owner of a book publishing company called Phosphor Press. Very pleased to meet you!

I've noticed I tend to be more eloquent in writing the more depressed or miserable I am. My writing is going to be amazing these next couple of years.

SMT 5 drinking game: Take a shot every time Aogami says "young man" and you feel the urge to continue by singing YMCA. (Don't actually do that, you might die before you get past the first area of Da'at)

Whether or not you cared about TikTok, it gave a career boost to a lot of indie authors. So maybe go buy a book by an indie author today.

"So, you're basically a twink who does the fusion dance with a buff guy to become Super Twink and then you try to replace God." -Me explaining SMT5 to my partner

Scoring how much of a challenge each of the MCU Avengers would be in a fight against Psychostorm out of 10.

Sometimes I get bummed out that nobody is horny for my characters but then I remember Echo and I'm suddenly quite okay with the lack of horny.

So, I've decided that if I manage to hit 100 followers, I'll be giving away 1 free signed eBook of my novel. So if you like free stuff, you should follow me.

Still amazed at the cultural propaganda that results in people finding haggis disgusting but will happily eat hot dogs and sausages. Like, haggis is just sausage but fewer mystery ingredients and fillers. I bet this was started by the English back in the day.
