Heyo! I'm The Legendary Hero BraveLeaf! I also go by Ayanda, a black, and low vision (Keratoconus) author with a desire to put diverse faces at the front page of stories I tell, and every page after. I grew up wondering why people like me weren't in the media I consumed. I want to change that.

The Prologue and first chapter of Magical Girl Overtime Volume 6, 'Arisu's First Day at School', have just been released! They're available in all the usual places! With a new cover by @lili-mdoki.bsky.social! linktr.ee/mahouza #yuri #magicalgirls #webnovel
The cover of Magical Girl Overtime Volume 6.
A witch with blue hair, cat ears and a tail in a black robe falls from the sky, above a dense forest region, chased by a red-haired catgirl witch in white who looks just like her.
They are both charging fireballs and about to unleash them unto each other.

I was 100% not prepared to the whole moderate to severe pain this eye disease brings. The snow storm has obliterated my eyes...but I still write on

Well I had a thought and then whoops new chapter. This makes up for me not uploading as much as I wanted to last week, and gave me a chance to disassociate for a few hours! #RoyalRoad #WriterSky #Chapter #Writing #AuthorSky www.royalroad.com/fiction/1482...

I want The trauma my characters carry to feel real and charged, I struggled for years until I started putting two characters with conflicting pain in the same room. It felt natural in a really vulnerable way. Anyone else have strategies to make depth feel earned? #WriterSky #BookSky #Autjors

I finally edited today. I did a chore i was procrastinating on for ages. I should be proud of myself. The self doubt that lives in my mind is voracious. It feeds on every achievement, every moment of joy and demands more to consume. I'll be damned if I let it win the war. But tonight...u got it

I feel ready, ready to just confront the world and all of my problems, ready to change and be enough for myself. I'm tired of looking in the mirror and thinking so harshly of myself. Writing characters that embody confidence has made me so strangely motivated.

Whether you draw, or paint, or compose, or mix - whatever form of art you choose to create, make it exist. Bring it to life. Create it in a tangible form that can be enjoyed. It need not be perfect. It might need work. It might serve as practice. It might even remain unfinished. Just create. 😁

On days where I just can't muster the creativity to write or draw…I'm thankful I can still edit.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.
A screenshot of WhatsApp:

Ash: Sebastián, I have one very pressing question.
Sebastián Di Martino: Let me know
Ash: Are jaguar soft?
Sebastián Di Martino: They are very soft (two hearts on the answer)

I got my first comment on my royal road novel the other day, and gosh, it was initially pretty rough to read. But I was so happy at the same time. Someone cared enough to write that. It means the world as a new author. #writing #author #royalroad
A comment reviewing the first few chapters of the story I wrote. It's got a decent bit of criticism baked in.My response, in which I thank the person for actually reading it, and take their criticisms into consideration.Part 2 of my response, where I explain my decisions in hopes of retaining a reader.Their response to me. Apologizing and complimenting my story further.

Ok, being low vision and running into those wacky-ass captchas is crazy sometimes. I'm not a robot, I'm just disabled. Please stop coagulating words into a series of monochrome spaghetti and just let me click on the elephants instead of the lamp.
