Just realized the problem with this WIP scene is that I need to write the opposite

Thanks to @offbeatworlds.bsky.social for the concept art banner for Mac and Zoe! Exactly how I pictured these two as I wrote That Guy That Invented Magic. Now to start my #author website layout.

Just reminded of one piece of advice from my sixth grade art teacher β€”
A good artist knows when to stop.

As a #writer just starting to look into my publication paths, most disappointing to find is a whole industry built to sell wannabes services. Not a few things, but a LOT. Any many are quite expensive, given the #author ROI. I don’t pretend I’m revising a bestseller, but I’d like to break even!

IDK if author logos should be a thing or not. Anyways, here’s my Celtic Chameleon

#MWW25 was my first ever writer conference and thinking my main takeaway was that everyone I met was a writer, because that is what we do, what we are supposed to do. The difference was only where we are on our author journey.

Thinking how my #writing excuses have evolved-
At 50 I wondered if I waited too long to start an author career.
At 40 I felt like a phony.
At 30 I was sure that I needed some schooling.
At 20 I had nothing worth writing about.
At 10 I liked to write short stories and my friends liked to read them.

Your YA mental health talk was honest and helpful. Only wish it could have gone longer!
