This is such a fun shot!

How do you mean?

I dunno why people would act surprised that Van Sciver is a homophobe. He regularly called me a faggot, this is not new information- people should leave him in obscurity like they did me

I am not promoting this *nearly enough* thanks to the crushing workload of actually MAKING the book, but!

We’re making a romcom! If you like queer characters, relationship friction, and as much humour as we could cram in, maybe you should read the preview at the link, and possibly even preorder?

When I go, I suppose my biggest regret will just be how much life I wasted on people who didn’t really care, and goals that were never achievable to begin with.

Now I focus on what I can do, and people who actually want me around :)

But lately things seem to be on the up. I’m generally speaking happier in myself. My career may never progress, or even get back to what it was just 7 years ago, but I can keep putting out little things here and there and a handful of people will read them and care. That’s enough.

I’m fine now, btw, more or less. But when I was hitting the lowest of lows, and I mean really dark thoughts and places, seeing how few of the people I thought had my back and cared actually did really didn’t help. I still get little blips of low even now, thinking about how much I invested

When I was going through a massive medical event & dire mental health crisis only a handful of people reached out to me. It’s led me to re-evaluate who my real friends are, and what I spent my life focusing on and working towards. At 41 though, to be doing this feels like such a bad time to do so

That’s a service some offer?

Or if someone is already doing it, I'd love to hear about it. And genuine ones ideally, not the same as the endless spam emails I get from people saying they could push my book out to everyone and everywhere, if I just pay them $60 no questions asked etc etc. Those have really increased lately

But I certainly don't have the budget or regular income to cover hiring an agent full time. Plus that all detracts from my writing time (which I'm already kinda struggle with as I've been getting back on my feet).

I think someone could really clean up if they brought out something like that.

to do, I think it could really corner the market, especially in the indie book/self published comics space.

I've never been very good at it, many of my own social posts all kind of sounding the same, and I've never been able to get my head around metadata no matter how hard I try

If there was like a subscription model for a marketing agent or group that you pay so much per month, and they will just handle basic marketing and social pushes for your work, it would be so helpful. Like, even if they did the bare basics, or tiered options to measure how much work you want them

Like, on Reedsy, I can find plenty of people who can suggest deeply involved marketing campaigns and plans, or create an ad run, or documents a plan of action for the creator to do, but they're often not very cheap and still relies on you (who may have no experience/skill at marketing) to do it

Lately, I've been thinking something I'd really love to have as a service to utilise as an author/creator would be some kind of subscription model I could sign up to that has someone else handle the marketing/social media posts about my books etc. Is that a thing that exists?

This time, I opened the door to the changing rooms, almost smacking him in the face. I said sorry and then offered him to pass. And he did the same. We wound up actually both finally taking the others offer at the same time, meaning we passed each other almost chest to chest in the doorway πŸ˜‚

Okay, this is weirdly becoming like a meet-cute now

Remember a few weeks back when I talked about how I nearly, quite literally bumped into a twink at my gym, so close we almost accidentally kissed?

Well it just happened again. With the same guy

Just learned this, and I’m devastated. Our interactions were brief, but having loved his artwork, having him play a part in The Pride meant so much to me. I cannot believe he’s gone, he was amazing

Non-Player Character Russell 'Rusty' Sparrow never amounted to much in life. Everything he'd aimed for seemed perpetually drawn out of his reach and everything he did just helped other people, like he wasn't even the main...

New chapter for Non-Player Character, and it means the end of Act One, and the adventure truly about to begin

Just what is the problem with existence?

At what point are we allowed to admit that Trump is a puppet of Russia and Israel?

- but she is the most incapable, anxiety ridden, scared agent I’ve ever seen. I understand the choice to make that her personality, and that works, but making her an FBI agent investigating national security threatening bioterror is the most unbelievable thing in a game with zombies in it lol

Watching a RE: Requiem play though (I can’t play these games myself, my anxiety makes me struggle to get through them, but I can watch them fine), and I’m sorry, I cannot understand the narrative choice to make Grace an FBI agent. Not only does she seem to have got a high level gig in just 8 years-
