UPDATE OH MY GOD I FIGURED IT OUT

S. Morgan Burbank @anotherindiewriter.com · 10h

My main issue I'm running into is that I don't really want to run a debian based instance if I don't have to, but it's also the only kind that natively supports Synology's Drive Client...because I do not care to learn networking in the short term

If anyone would like to pre-order the book, it's at the links below. I got encouraged by a couple of folks to share it, but my brain isn't there, so this is the best I've got tonight.

One of the hardest parts of promoing my novella is that it's a trans self-discovery story. And despite recognizing who I am, I also don't feel like I belong as much as trans/enby authors who have been writing for so much longer and so much better than me. Their books deserve love.

How stressed am I today? I'm doing a fresh install of Linux on a computer in our house JUST TO CALM DOWN BEFORE I SLEEP.

Objectively, I do know at least two reasons (not counting imposter syndrome) why I'm struggling with this. But alas, social media is not made for societal exploration or trauma discussion

I don't know why it's hitting me so hard with this particular piece. Maybe it's because I'm asking people to pay for my work and that makes it feel like I'm trying to say I belong and I don't always feel that way? idk

I'm gathering a list of folks I'm going to recommend people read in advance of my book coming out -- just as I did when my previous books came out. But if you wonder why my marketing of my novella has cratered the last few days, this is most of why.

Oh man...just one song for Alana? How about one song that works for all three of the main characters of Project Tasman, Alana, Quinn, and Brielle together? www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8yF...

I can't wait to absolutely crush people when they realize what two of those are in the context of the stories they're in lol

Yes I had a whole 5 post thread originally. Yes I accidentally closed out of it instead of posting. Yes I screamed loudly enough to startle my spouse.

HELLO WHEELHOUSE QUESTION

Why yes. I make playlists for almost EVERYTHING I write. Kotov Syndrome had its own list, Woodpusher did, Opus does, Project Tasman does..even book 3 of the Azaes Realm series already has one started

Blackbird @blackbirb.bsky.social · 1d

#LateNightWrite Welcome back! I’m in a playlist mood tonight and about to make it everyone’s problem! Do you often make playlists for your WIPs or characters? (spoiler: if you don't, you're about to!)
