Ink

CWINK Shop | Redbubble CWINK is an independent artist creating amazing designs for great products such as t-shirts, stickers, posters, and phone cases.

I'm seeing a lot of people sharing merchandise so I'll go ahead and share mine.

I'm not a good artist, but I drew a bunch of flags. I think it's funny how the uterus flag was censored.

I will make it, or I will die trying.

100 poems finished! I'll be working with an artist to turn it into yet another book. I obviously don't expect her to finish 100 pieces in a couple days. And how do I reward myself?

By making a list for more poems next week! The writing never ends.

No I know it's not bad to use the same word more than once, which is why I find my own habit annoying. I'm just constantly asking myself "how many times did I use the word nature? How many times did I use the word animal? Should I use the word kin instead of family here?"

I use ctrl f a lot.

These last 20 poems are proving difficult, mostly because of my annoying habit of not wanting to use the same word twice. There's only so many synonyms!

I got close, writing 80 by the end of the day. I'll finish up the rest tomorrow.

I should probably eat though.

"Why not use Al to write the poems?"

Then the poetry would not be mine.

"You could at least use it to come up with ideas."

The moment I use Al to write for me is the moment I stop being a writer, a creative, a human. Don't let machines dream for you.

I'm going to try to write 100 poems today, wish me luck!

Hey commissioners, a tip is a gift to #artists for their work; it is not an obligation, demand, request, leverage, or incentive to bump your commission up the queue or increase the level of quality or quantity of the art. A tip is a monetary thank you to the artist.

As much as I love the cold, I'm not looking forward to tonight's walk.

CW: Suicide

"It's like being conscious while on life support. I'm not ready to pull the plug just yet, but I wouldn't be sad if the power went out."

Someone told me I gave the best description of what being suicidally depressed feels like. Feel free to use this description if you need to.

"A job is there for you to survive while you work toward your dreams." ~Phil
"I dream about growing wings and flying around, like a dragon!" ~Lilly
"Me too! And breathing fire!" ~Phil
"Fire?" ~Lilly
"To burn... marshmallows." ~Phil
"Yummy!" ~Lilly

Sour skittles expired by 2.5 years

Got these sour skittles in one of the MREs, I'm betting they're extra sour!

Btw, this is an ACE agent about to be eviscerated by a water dragon. The ACE stands for Anthro Containment Enforcer but I'm now probably going to change it to Inhuman Containment Enforcer for a less-subtle acronym.

For the longest time I thought that my Roomies franchise (Roomies, Nomads, Collective Punishment, CP:R, etc...) would never be optioned in mainstream media because of how anti-government and anti-cop it is.

Now I'm not so sure.

Once I start making enough money to donate to non-profits, I'll research the companies before giving them anything.

There's a popular one I'm seeing in my feed today, and according to the info I can find, the execs get $1M to over $4M annually. They clearly don't need my money.

New year, hopefully new opportunities. My only goal this year is to sell a show! I'll keep trying until I'm gone.

10. I've only been blackout drunk once
11. I was sorta invited to a convention by a famous actor
12. I think about death almost every other hour
13. I've been drinking coffee since I was 12

If I think of more interesting things I may add to the list

6. I lived off the money I made in the stock market when I was jobless for nearly two years

2. I've been homeless
3. I have visited or lived in 11 states and 2 countries
4. I've had a stalker because of my books

I have an idea that might be niche but I believe would work great with your box format. Could I dm you the details?

That was a crisp walk home. Oh and my hours have already been cut down to 22. At least there's more opportunity here than in Lamar.

I figure with my scant sales, I don't have much to lose so I raised the prices on most of them (not my children's book... yet) at the beginning of the month and I just checked my sales today.

I've sold more books this month than I have in the past five years. I have no words.

#WritingCommunity

A while ago I was told I should increase my prices because "consumers believe that your lower priced books are not as valuable as their higher priced counterparts"

As most of you know, I keep my prices low to make them affordable for all. However...

This sums up the entire concept of the TV series Halial.
