I mean I definitely hope once I get out there more by attending more local events that'll help, but right now I feel p stuck and am just gonna stick to my online events. Also yes, yes! Inarora's Excursion is out :) It is a middle grade though and MG's a tough sell, but I love my story

I love being an author. (I'm just venting into the void. Plus side, I did have 1 in person sale LOL)

filters literally add to artwork, not take away. And the fact that ppl actually are out there touting that it's the same as gen ai is asinine

Hey, I can't believe I have to say this but color re-balancing or filters on digital artwork is NOT the same as using a generative slop program that steals from artists. Glad we had this talk

Tsukiya & Hiiragi are forced into Root against their will after Danzō approaches them at the udon shop. Danzō leverages w/e he can against them to force them to join. Nothing is off limits & Sakumo & Kakashi are unhappy about it. archiveofourown.org/works/919110... www.wattpad.com/story/415707...

I'm prob gonna back off social media a bit, even for my books. I'll still drop promos and such but I don't really see a future for selling middle grade online right now. I do better in person so I'm gonna put my focus and energy towards in-person events.

I get almost zero too which makes me wonder if my dad just has his information lost somewhere. And he unfortunately used to have to answer his phone a lot because he had to use his phone for work. IDFK what happened but it's annoying 🥀

Astrid ON HIATUS | INARORA'S EXCURSION Out Now! @seraphrdm.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Robo-calls/scam calls/etc are just plain evil because they bombard my dad's phone every fucking day. He ignores them, blocks them, uses the iphone filter, uses the scam shield with t-mobile, and it still comes through. Actually evil.
