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

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"
