Gonna hope this one stays light and goes away quick !!

Me too!! Took the afternoon mostly off but if it won't go away I will stick to very basic menial work and extend play time until it passes :/

Posting an update that's like "I think this will be done by Friday!" only to get hammered by a head cold 😓

An arrow trope image where several elements point to a central cover. The cover features a masc person and a child stand in a city street with their back to the viewer. The child is pointing towards a flock of birds swooping through the sky. The entire cover is in tones of blue, and it is clearly set in winter. The surrounding information includes: the evil scientist who betrayed ols community, fixing what’s broken / aftermath story, three arospec leads with messy relationships to romance, the chaos of a six cats household, may contain Baker Thief characters, the gender feels of choosing a body for yourself, fantasy city and spring traditions inspired by Quebec City

A brilliant engineer must work with the scientist who trapped thousands in small gems to save them, but to do so, they will need to learn to trust one another—with the science, with their loved ones, and with their confused aro hearts.

My return into epic fantasy with big politics and cool magic. And before I touch that, the conclusion of my Nerezia series. Lots of more immediately urgent work sadly

It was a lot of fun, though I am enjoying the sudden silence (i think i have a head cold coming...)

Oh my god that truly takes fortitude 😂

The cedar waxwings!!!! They're a personal favourite too

My nephew just came over and we did the most 5 year old things in Minecraft then built a trapped dungeon in my fancy gaming table with my minis and the sheer joy on his face will carry me through the week, if not month 💜

yes I spent 20 minutes reminding myself how to make secret doors or hang a painting in front of a hole 😂

No work this morning, I have to be a very cool aunt and show my nephew cool minecraft things :3

If you're an indie author: a lot of converters will put a fixed line height in your css and that stops ereaders from changing it

Current ebook doesn't allow for line spacing :( i like my reading a bit airy!!

The hallucination alone is a dealbreaker, obviously. But I was much more disturbed by the effect it had on my own sense of communication. Words are for connection. If you continually threw a rope into the darkness and no one caught it, you'd begin to think there was something wrong with the rope.

The only thing better than one book is MOAR BOOKS which is why you should check out this #ItchBundle full of #IndieBooks by Canadian authors!

not quite sure yet how I do it either tbh 😅 There's like an interactive game and a translation project not even listed in there.

novella release in February, anthology in March, novella again in May, anthology kickstarter in June... novella in October... anthology from June maybe in november??

it's a whole year to be sure

it's March, the month I was supposed to be moving website hosting and building a direct shop and etc.

but of course I look at the month and I know with absolute certainty that it's not happening

Which means it's... probably... an August (?) thing?

It's March, which means next month is #IndieApril - a month where people all over the internet commit to buying and reading only #IndieBooks!

To celebrate, we'll be spotlighting one indie author per day - and you can apply to be one of those authors RIGHT NOW using this form:

generated exclusively because it would irritate the Wagon to no end 😇

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

let's go ! now can we all... ? make it country wide

They know what's up

She wants one thing and one thing only: to be left alone. too bad there's an over enthusiastic teenager who needs her XD

An image with a dark blue background, and the cover for a new “Queer YA Fantasy Short Story” available only on itchio. In which… A group of magical teenagers recruit a grumpy war hero to climb a sacred mountain and hold a now-banned ritual. It has a determined Sushine Trans Girl and an Aroace Grumpy Vet".

The team: teenagers with misfunctioning magic
The plan: climb Mt. Kuhri to celebrate the now-banned Keyhole Festival
The "ace in their sleeve": a grumpy war veteran ... from the war they lost

Perfect!
