I’m trying to get better at writing stuff like this more often. I’m not sure how I will market my books when I get closer to publishing, but I know one highly recommended method is newsletters or blogs. I have ideas for that when the time comes, but listen, I also have a diary from 2004 that I update monthly or every 3-5 years. In short, I’m consistently inconsistent. π
I just updated my author bio page to include alt text. I love the existence of alt text and want to use it for everything I do because if there exists an easy way to include everyone, we should do it. However, I am human and very bad at keeping up with things. My consistent inconsistency bleeds into my instagram posts like this.
As for writing, I made a new copy of book two draft three. I make new copies when I write a whole bunch and rework a bunch of scenes but am too afraid to delete the scraps. So I make a new copy with the old one remaining with the scraps in case I need them later. This new copy of book 2 draft 3 is titled “LISTEN UP DUMPSTER TRASH WHEE 7.28.23 B2D3” because I am elegant and have complete faith in everything I do.
I have no idea what I’m doing. π
Okay, that’s slightly a lie. I wanted to make my MC demisexual like me, but I don’t think it is going to work with the outline I already have in place. So, I’m making notes 75% of the way through to undo all the stuff that wasn’t working later and just trudging on.
I do still have the determination to make a demi MC someday, but Selenia doesn’t want to be changed like that. You can’t force your sexual orientation on your children, guys. They will tell you what they are and you can’t change that. Also, you shouldn’t. Unless their sexual orientation is eating people. Probably redirect that one. Idk.
Anyway, you’re beautiful, and STOP LISTENING TO THE WORLD WHEN IT IS MEAN. You are in control of your life, at least a little. Start taking steps toward light. Put yourself in the way of good, even if you don’t believe good will find you anymore. Keep finding different paths that good travels down so that one day it will have no choice but to run you over like a semi barreling over a plastic bag. Also, stop being a plastic bag. That’s bad for the environment. π
I love you! Have a good! β€
