This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

I actually struggle quite a bit with boredom due to trauma, but I have found ways to allow my mind to go into low power mode so I can allow the swirling thoughts to come together in unexpected ways. I get a lot of ideas for my novels while watching streamers play video games.

Graphic with the book's cover art as the background and a snippet of the Kirkus review: "Ashing-Giwa has created a world run by imperial technocrats who bleed their planet dry of its resources at the expense of their poorer neighborsโ€™ lives. Although the technology sometimes feels indistinguishable from magic, the novel is deeply rooted in science fiction, and it never strays too far from those roots.... A bold and refreshing new SF adventure from one of this generationโ€™s writers to watch.โ€

A comic page depicting a scene from the book 'The Crimson Moth' 
As follows: A panel of a woman's hand reaching out for a wine glass, then a panel of a man and that woman - His hair is short and styled back, he's wearing a suit, she's wearing a red gown, her long straw blonde hair styled in a semi-crown-braid, a few curly strands falling over her face - looking at eachother as the woman drinks wine and she asks 'Hunting anyone in particular?' - He replies 'Perphaps.'

This article hits home. Iโ€™ve started bringing a comfortable chair to the kitchen when cooking, moving upstairs to my office earlier in the day, and, most importantly, asking for help when I need it. The shame and guilt are still there, but Iโ€™m trying to accept my #chronicpain every day.
