I decided to frame and hang my old GTX 1080 on the wall!

There will be no more driver updates for it after October, and I wanted to do something to honor this tech that's been the backbone of my creative hobbies for the past 10 years.

Rest well, buddy. You did good.♥️

In the flaxing vale, the sun dithered in the clouds, gobbly-wobbling its way to the tall grass where the #conundrum grew.

One petal, flushed into a quarrelsome tea, carried one to confusion, where words mixed themselves into places they did not belong.

Tuesday was going to be interesting.

THIS IS THE WEEK! Enduring Marks premieres on YT at 4pm ET on Oct 1st. ALSO, join the cast & creators on my Twitch channel at 8pm ET the same day - @skrubasauras.bsky.social, @vog-persona.bsky.social, @shalinetsuruga.bsky.social, @wordsbyparker.bsky.social & me for a watch & fun talkback afterward!😍

Switching up the release schedule for Renegade’s Shadow this month. The art reveal for the Lockwood Family will be first, then Episode 9.

I'm excited to release this one, partly because y'all haven't seen the artwork yet, also one of them shows up in Ep. 9. 🙂 And you get to learn more about them!

Just 2 1/2 weeks until "Enduring Marks" premieres! Join me for a new immersive audiobook series coming to the Ardent Melody Audios YT channel on Oct. 1st. Feat. me as Ilani, @skrubasauras.bsky.social as The Narrator, @vog-persona.bsky.social as Vullian, & @wordsbyparker.bsky.social as The Sergeant.

I'm old enough to remember when a newspaper #article could rightfully be called nonfiction. The 4 Ws were the backbone that held the story upright. Nowadays, opinions and propaganda rule the media. It's all on the reader to discern where truth ends and fantasy begins. Good luck to us.

Since hoodie weather is back in season where I live, I thought I'd mention that the Words By Parker Merch Shop has some nice ones. 😁 (I have two of them and they are great. 😎)

Eventually I'll be releasing some Smoke & Mirrors merch. Just haven't gotten it ready yet.

September 2025 Goals - erm, I mean Schedule! 🙂
One change to note: Saturday morning livestreams are moving to 8 am Eastern Time (ET).

This is part of where I get really frustrated. We've lost the main focus, which is the work, the art of acting. The art of storytelling. THE ART.

Do the work and stop chasing fame & fortune. The money & recognition might be nice, but it should not be the reason why you're a creative artist.

Peanuts by Charles Schultz from August 27th Panel one: Snoopy leans over his typewriter atop his doghouse and pecks out the words, "It was a dark and stormy night." Panel two: Snoopy sits up, staring off into space Panel three: Snoopy sits facing away from his typewriter, feet dangling over the edge of his doghouse's roof, brow furrowed in thought. Panel four: Snoopy glances at us, the readers, facing the typewriter again, and thinks, "My new novel is going badly..."

Good morning, friends. Sometimes the unknown can be scary. There are times where that is true. But I want to focus on the unknown like in the song Into the Unknown. If there’s a drive calling you, why not try it out? It might not work out or it can be the best thing for you

Since I am terrible at self-promotion, I think maybe I should share that there is a wiki for my stories and universes. Especially since some folks did not know there was one. ☺️

(Renegade's Shadow is linked from the main page; Endgame and Smoke & Mirrors will be eventually)

Got some new merch in the mail this week! 😁

There's such a stupid amount of talent in this community. Catching up on catalogues, & the passion & skill in these performances & scripts...🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

Please know that, no matter your subscriber count or engagement, you should be VERY proud of your art, my friends. Gods know I am.

The bear gripped the pencil awkwardly, letters wobbling into life. He wanted words instead of roars, sentences instead of claws.

He wanted to be understood, not feared.

Once, he’d #pummel trees in frustration; now he scratched meaning, slow and tender, into the waiting paper.

If you think you're above playing background or bit parts, then maybe you should consider a career other than acting.

Listening to some of my past work, trying to help gear myself up to dive back in. I miss actively working on projects.

Still proud of this pilot episode for my steampunk series. And I get giddy thinking about all of the plans we have for the rest of the series. 😊 😎 🎩 🧐 ⚙️
