Just got a really good review for one of my books. I am honestly just excited people care enough to write them even if they are 1 star. Cause i wont know much about public opinion if people are scared to write the bad ones. It feels good in general to get one especially when it is a good one.

173 pages into one of my final before my editor gets it edits. Just waiting on one maybe two of the test readers to finish but it should be quick fixes at that point if i get a start on it now. Y'all are not ready for this new book but you're getting it anyway🤣

Trump's handling of this situation should be treated as one of the biggest scandals in presidential history. There is blood on his hands.

8-ish years ago I got strangers to pay off $300k in “lunch debt” so kids who were being punished for owing money could do things like eat, go to prom, and, walk at their own graduation. In the 20 years I’ve engaged in social media, I have never received more hate for anything else I’ve said or done.

Other than working on something new for my seires I'm finally digging into the WIP. At least three test readers have sent it back. Think one more is on the way. Probably two and that's it. So I'm using one to edit now and shall update as more info comes. It's just time to push on and be proactive

Neurodivergent and ND-adjacent friends: As I become more and more comfortable with neurodivergence I find myself trying to carve out a little calm for myself, and a place the Internet is failing me is reliable sources for stim toys. Anybody got suggestions?

Working on something that requires poetry. Rereading my shit has me all in my feelings. Like I was actually not half bad during my poetry phase.

Trying to be more intentional with my artist self. Dunno how it's going to work out but I'm just tired of finding excuses for not putting my all into it. Not finding the time, and being in the vicious cycle of bad mental health and fitness health choices. We'll see what comes of it.

So, if I get all my short stories from fifty pages to 76 I can literally use the same template for all of them. I can't predict the length of my poems so that's up in the air but the first two landed on 76 and only two more three more are under 76 pages so who knows. I might get lucky.

Just here adding poems and previews to the back of my books cause they are two short for D2D print. I'm not a big fan of back matter, especially in ebooks, however my books are for real 45 pages long and not 20 or so pages with the other being all marketing material at the end.

So i need to find what to tac on to the end of my books to reach 64 pages. I am not a fan of back matter in shirt stories the length of mine... however my 50 pages is all story already. Its not a 20 page short with an equal amount of end matter. So i can be okay that it's a full short story.

About halfwayish through my edits cause there was an area that wasn't too dense with corrections from the editor. Yaaay me. On the other hand, the page i stopped on is the complete opposite, which is why i stopped. Was not awake enough for that🤣

My stuff is still free y'all. And the audio is free on KOBO only and if you bitch to amazon cause you don't want to shop anywhere else they'll price match the free books. Someon did it for book two so it's free and at least three people bought it. At least that is the assumption I'm making

I notice editors, i say editors cause I didn't use to see it a lot before, have some singluar thoughts placed on one line alone. At first five years or more ago when I noticed this I thought it was wierd, but I get it. I actively choose that if the sentence is powerful enough to stand alone it gets

It is such a fallacy that more rights protection embedded in technology means less innovation. Genuinely innovative technologies preserve and advance rights. Regulation can orient better innovation and fix developers' priorities.

Just lost an ear bud in my underwear and was turning around like a lost puppy wondering why the sound as i turned the colume up to hear it was evading me when the first one i found in seconds and i knew where the other one flew too🤣🤣🤣 clearly falling asleep like ill find it later was a bad idea.

Fonna try to get back into reading and book reviews. I'm always triggered reading these days though so i have to figure out how to make that 'negative' energy work for me somehow or i might never read again.😓
