Now that my polyamorous romantasy is officially out in digital form, I feel a need for a pinnable post with links to where people can buy it!

It takes one to write.

It takes two for someone to put the writing up on the fridge with some magnets.

... Ten years...?

My boss's 9 year old daughter is... Younger than the entire Splatoon franchise?

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.

Please read and share this thread.

"patrick sits down sleeps" is being searched in the Google search bar. Below, the AI overview has provided the following as a summary.
"The sentence "patrick sits down sleeps" describes a situation where a person named Patrick is taking a seat and then falling asleep. This implies that the person is tired or resting."
For some reason, there is an awkwardly large space between the text and the "show more" button at the bottom.

Progress is still... Progress-ing, slowly, on the novel draft. I work in a field that's been heavily impacted by the tariff situation, so work has been pretty busy.

I was gonna post something about my progress today but I'm way more amused by the AI generated "summary" that Google loves so much.

The most heterosexual image of David Bowie I've ever seen. Fascinating.

a magnemite is stuck to the fridge, teary-eyed. two other magnemites are trying to help him get un-stuck in the kitchen, but the freezer door is half-open; the magnet is just too strong!

Much shame about falling behind on #novelember prompts. Was incredibly demotivated by structural story revisions I wanted to do. Just had my first writing sessions where I finished with less words than I started. Will probably try to catch up on them either tonight or tomorrow.

Word count: 28.1K exactly (still have yet to write most of ch. 1)
There are a lot of excerpts I've liked from the second draft so far, but in terms of "single line," absolutely has to go to "I just look like that." Being a succubus kinda sucks/rocks, depending greatly on your preferences

14) wasn't ever posted, so I guess I'll do it here?

Lao Sha (Lǎo shā, technically) is a high matron of Infernis. she's a conniving businesswoman from hell who keeps devils working under contract for her own satisfaction. Recently she's taken interest in collecting crystallized desires.

This question got a lot harder when I changed who the major antagonist was two days ago.

Regardless, the matron of Infernis who has Vixen under contract sees her as another piece in her growing collection of workers. She appreciates her like a prized toy.

Will catch up on #novelember either tomorrow or day after. (It's already tomorrow, I stay up late)

Book is facing an identity crisis as I consider radically altering the plot/ending. Realized that my "series potential" ideas might be better off in the single book.

There are a few I could point at but the biggest is definitely

I'm not sure. I sort of just... Did? My mother's an author and I've been obsessed with storytelling ever since I was a kid. Taking several literature classes in college definitely helped me appreciate, well, literature though.

Can't believe I almost forgot. There are a lot of little satisfying things but more than anything I'm obsessed with being able to tell a compelling story of evocative experience. The kind that sticks with people, the ear worm of the mind. That's it, really.

#novelember This is hard

The setting is inherently fantastical, but that fantasy is being consumed by a gritty, cyberpunk feeling. The POV especially has a focus on the noir and there's a classic "subverting the system" vibe underneath it all. Also society

Haha yeah, that happens. Took me a long while to decide what level of sci-fi tech I wanted the city of Niflheim to have. Ended up settling for a mild cyberpunk sort of vibe
