I just translated my favorite scene from my favorite book, and I think it went well. I cried. My fairy-vampire man discovered his love interest - human man - isn't immortal and allowed him to kiss his knee so starting the formal courting.

256 year old fairy: mortified discovering his love interest has maybe 40 years to live.
43 year old human: oh, this will make him quit the courting phase sooner, great.
Love writing more mature characters :D They are so wise and past the horny phase... yeah.

Millipede grooming itself like a cat. Cute.

Yet somehow people still scroll TikTok for hours and have time to binge watch shows. Make it make sense.

Unless there is something special, I don't like books that follow the very linear hero's journey with all the regular roles. Older books I already like? Yes, but new ones? Nope. That's why I made my prophesized hero off herself. Spoilers, there's afterlife :D

I liked this book. It's not for everyone, very unique, great worldbuilding and cringe spice, but I love the author's daring, unconventional style, so it's worth it. I read the first book too and today bought the second. Love the originality.

I am a weirdo, I like editing the most. To rewrite, to make better, to polish each sentence into a shiny diamond and then scrape it rough again, mixing it all together. I like it when I already have something more than a blank page.

There is an awesome YT channel called Functional Melancholic, and he is very much linking AI with the collapse of the civilization, yet... his scripts sound more and more AI :D Is that a joke? Come to discuss more. I made the subreddit.

Writing is like medicine, but a temperamental medicine that sometimes makes things worse because it requires you to add marketing, and then it makes you high, and the world disappears, but it helps. Overall it helps.

I will try to get into an asylum soon. I am going mad from feeling like a useless failure and that my books are never going to be read. I hate myself, I am apathetic, I just don't want to even... be. I draw it there. Maybe time to go back.

I am proud of my first published book and my first translation. It's been 9 years since I published it in Latvian and yes, there are things I would have written differently today, but I am still proud. I have grown.

Just watched an American being shocked that people give way to an ambulance in Europe. Seriously? I knew things were bad, but this is a conscious decision from you, Americans, not to save lives when you take them so easily. Every day something new about life in US.

#USA #WTF

I love writing. I just love, love, love writing. And i truly believe that books written by people who enjoy the craft are better.

I wish I could participate more, but even though I know US politics impact us all, a lot of times I have no idea what they are talking about. I already have enough of that total madness. Seems like BlueSky is predominantly US politics whoever I follow.

Just hanging out with a good friend today....
To paint his hands, I took probably a dozen photos of my own hands all knotted up around a Ren-Fest dagger. 😎

Is there a month for polyamory like Sapphic September? Then my dark urban fantasy would do.

I didn't know that September was Sapphic, but I do have a book to offer. High fantasy, found family and returning to her immortal cat who is still waiting :)

But what if it really was a dark and stormy night? What then? Showing, of course, but it feels like cheating, as in the end it still is a dark and stormy night.

"Zifa blessed me with no additional ceremonial at all. I blessed myself by trying to adjust my dress and realizing my foot was stuck in the ruffles of the hem."
Trying to write a dark and mysterious book. It is, overall, but sometimes...

My cat tried to translate "/%TR:Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr5" from Latvian to English. I think she is a bit confused, but that "rrrrr" part sounds like purring.

I hope he still creates something, even if just for himself. This song is about me.

I stared at Zifa. Was it fate or just a boner?

Consequences for their actions should differ for politicians, doctors, public figures and just your average someone. We have all done stupid shit. Every single one of us. Yet some actions are deadly and some are just shitty.

"Protecting children" makes me angry and scared. Nothing wrong with protecting children, but people use it almost every time they want to restrict the freedom of adults. Same as in Latvia people yell "for strong families!" when it means "kill LGBTQ+ people".

Imperfect photo of my imperfect place of contemplation, yet it's home.

Jā, Ropažu novadā.

Husband greeted me like this. No attachments for a Jedi? Nope, 15 years and going. Nice gift in my 40th birthday.
