Illustrating swords from scratch is so fucking fun because ye olde autism brain goes “Hey, you know what be fucking sweet? Slapping together various geometric shapes to make something Alucard might threaten a mouthy Belmont with.”

Not sure when/where it arose, but the perpetuation that indie books warrant no lower than 4-stars is actually damaging. This is a business; there are no participation trophies. Reading is subjective; readers owe us nothing, and they certainly don’t owe us glowing reviews for a book they didn’t enjoy

Somehow, VULTURES turns 7 years old today, and what a ride it’s been. Massive shoutout to @nickborrelli.bsky.social who gave me my first review way back when. It’s something I’ll always cherish.

“Grief is wondrously monstrous. It is the implement by which we come to live in lies.” Like…I wrote that a year ago, but it’s been haunting me the last couple months. It’s been a long several years. Some days are exceptionally exhausting. Depression sucks. Wish my mom was here.

Will always tell newer authors to just keep at it even when things are slow. But god damn it, some times the slow days make me want to punch myself in the face. It’s crazy how quickly you gain and lose traction.
