Anthony Engebretson

Two black and white bookmarks on a table. They each depict a raccoon and read “Anthony Engebretson - Horror & Fantasy author” with book titles and a website attached.

Book marks are in, now I can really advertise myself.

So private transportation is a blight on the earth and I hate car culture

That said, I’m grieving the fact that I’m going to have to replace the car I’ve had for five years

Like I’m mostly stressed about how expensive this will all be. But also I went through a lot with that little thing.

So I think I’m going to take my unwanted fantasy novel and turn it into a middle grade fantasy.

Why? Because a dream told me to

Also I know that nobody owes me anything and I’m grateful for everyone who has taken the time to read my work.

Again, I just feel like a failure and am finding it hard to find a way out

I know that all that matters is the work. That’s why I’m going to pry myself away from social media and write my next novel. But I had to let this out first.

Anyway if you’d read all this, thanks. Back to important stuff lol

I know this is a weird thing to whinge about in times like these. Not looking for reassurance or advice. I’m not sure if anyone will even see this post.

Really I just needed to let it out and get myself through this dark feeling.

I guess I just want my name to mean something and it hurts that, no matter what I’ve accomplished, it doesn’t.

Then there’s me. A few books nobody’s read. Unable to get another one published hard as I try. No platform. No representation. Nobody who gives a shit.

I know things ebb and flow but I feel like a complete failure right now.

It’s hard not to feel left behind as an author.

Like I’m seeing people who started out around the same time as me who keep putting books out there, get awards, recognition… become names.

Neurodivergence just means living in a world that is actively hostile toward the way your brain works

Only management can revoke Gretchen Felker-Martin's account suspension, but her book came out yesterday, so you can support her in other ways!

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

I am sad and heartbroken. My little son is suffering from severe chest infections, high fever and a whooping cough. Oh good and merciful people, help my child. He needs treatment. Please, I need $200 for treatment and food. Please do not leave me to suffer alone.
