Illustration of a guy starting a new drawing in his room. He has a pet dragon just vibin' next to him. The room is adorned with various images, plants and paintings. There is a giant 2D-3D dragon heading the top of the window and wrapping around the room. Deawn by gdbee art/prinnay in 2025.

[Paper dragon room]
I want to draw more dragons this year, so the first painting of the year has to start off strong

Last year, my health insurance company stopped paying for my Humira. Humira is a type of immunosuppressive drug called a biologic, and I take a pretty high dose of it to control my severe Crohn's Disease. Without it, I will have a bowel obstruction, and then I will die.

Yoooo my story Florida Man got in the top 16 in the true crime genre of this edition of Writing Battle. I was super proud of this story and am really proud of the outcome too. Best I’ve done in Writing Battle in a while

My goal for my next book: world building. I want that world to feel more lived in!

*sigh*

Anyway, just create. Write shit, draw shit, build whatever you want, that's the important part.

There's no be-all end-all formula for the Perfect Work.

Just be YOU. No one can ever create what YOU create b/c it's you making it, and you are the only you.

Spoken We match exact items across stores to give you the best buying options - better than outlets, promo codes, or coupon codes.

If you’ll be shopping for any furniture/decor over the holidays, check out spoken.io - a revenge project that catches brand name retailers like West Elm whitelabeling stuff you can get for much less at budget sites like Wayfair/Amazon

(I mostly use it to avoid buying Wayfair-quality junk)

If you'd like to publish your book without enriching four entities that emerged from the bio-jelly of a thousand pulped tech-bros, you could scan this writeup I put together on self publishing Legends & Lattes, which cost less than 5k and involved human artists and editors
