The easiest way to know how my mental health is doing is to ask me how many books Iβm reading at one time. Because the answer should always be 1. Always.
Right now? Iβm in the middle of five books at once. EVEN I DONβT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
Consider yourselves warned π

When I went on submission with my debut, I celebrated by commissioning artwork for it. Did the same with the second book I went on sub with. And now Iβm commissioning art for my third book thatβs out on submission now !!! and I genuinely cannot wait to see these characters come to life π₯Ή

Traditional Publishing Truth Bomb:
* most writers don't get special editions and sprayed edges
* most writers are not sent on book tour, and if you see them, they planned & paid themselves
* most books won't hit any lists
* most books won't sell movie/TV rights
* most authors have to hustle

A meme with four images. The first is a piece of paper that says βResurrecting people is heathen behaviorβ. The next is SpongeBob looking at the paper. The last two are SpongeBob throwing it into a fire while smiling.
A couple is making out. Theyβre labeled the MC and the newly resurrected love interest. The second image zooms out to show a person standing by awkwardly, labeled the MCβs brother who was m*rdered for the inciting incident
βMy brother was k!lledβ = panic
βI worship the Goddess of Justice, sheβll handle itβ = calm
βThe Goddess refuses to launch an investigationβ = panic
r/resurrection: I tried to summon my unalived brotherβs spirit but now Iβm stuck with the bratty crown prince of our rival kingdom π« what do I do??

My spouse just said, βSo I have the kind of ADHD that makes me really funny and interesting. You have the kind of ADHD that makes you overstimulated at all times.β
And I did not appreciate being perceived and insulted at the same time π
