I have a shop! You like cats? Cute art? I got you covered.
Im honestly so tired after everything, and today is my last permission to do nothing day, and I don't think I have the energy to do a good promo. I'll see how I'm doing tomorrow.

I'm shopping online for gifts, and it's almost impossible to find actual products. Etsy is a morass of AI-generated images. Amazon is worse. I have to assume they're all scammers, because otherwise, they'd have actual photos of real products.
No on asked for this shit. AI is a curse.

Editing takes a LOT of cognitive energy, but I love watching a story get tighter and sharper...not to mention hitting a word count that will let me submit to more markets.

The wonderful @beckylejeune.bsky.social suggested I start working on the next book in a series, and I am having SO MUCH FUN drafting plot and character arc notes. Each of these books expands the scope and reach of the story - broader world, higher stakes - and things are about to get serious!
