May I recommend Platinum Donkeys - it's a recent release that has that old-school gonzo energy. A fun change of pace from the modern books where everyone has been to therapy and then there's too little conflict

I self-published a little ebook and it was very positive - I set up the file on Reedsy for free and published it through Amazon's KDP. The most important thing is to tailor your expectations carefully - your book will not sell on its own. But the publishing part doesn't need to be hard or expensive.

The young leads from The Secret of Moonacre face off in a forest. The girl is wearing a red velvet dress in a medieval style with an L embroidered on the cuff. She also wears a long blue ribbon tied around her neck. The boy has kind of a medieval outfit (pants and a doublet, maybe) but with lots of leather and extra buckles, and he's wearing a bowler hat like he's out of A Clockwork Orange. Around his neck is a choker with feathers sticking like 8 inches off of it (possibly a hawk? Tim Curry has a bird of prey in this movie that spies on people, and this boy is that character's son).

I have a special place in my heart for The Secret of Moonacre. It's a silly movie that doesn't totally make sense (unlike the book it's based on), but Tim Curry is in it and the costuming is all over the place, in a good way

I mainly describe images for braille books, where brevity is very important. In this app, I think if you set it up in a way that people can bail out early if they want, it's cool to give lots of detail (even if it's more than the sighted person would register).

I took a workshop about descriptions, and one tip was to start with an overall description and then add details - then a person gets the idea quickly and can continue with the description or move on. Another tip is to give visual information but let the reader interpret for themselves.

I think this is a good step for any problematic blank page. A placeholder summary of a scene is better than a blank page you can't move past

Team late night groceries over here. Grocery stores open after 9pm get so quiet!

At one point Netflix said they would provide audio description for all of their original programming. I assume they're still doing this.

Anne is great! I love how Charlotte was like "being a governess might be totally worth it" and Anne was like "no, it definitely sucks"

My dog rests a paw and his head on my leg, and looks into the camera.
