Yesterday I added almost 1K to Forest in a Shadow Box again. 🦋

Favourite bit from *that*: the scene where Machaon’s grandparents buy him his special tea (ADHD medication).

I wrote 1K words for Forest in a Shadow Box today, and reached 35K (officially longer than Draft 0.5)!

Favourite bits:

This is a tough time of year for me financially, so I’ve decided to see if there’s any #WritingCommunity interest in my premade ebook covers. They’re $35 apiece, and I’ve done my utmost to avoid using any AI-generated resources in making them. Find them all here:

Forest in a Shadow Box fact of the day 🦋

Machaon’s grandparents speak Occitan (not called that in-universe). It’s commonly spoken in their hometown.

Apparently there are 12 bolts on the full thing… but they still displayed it to look like 8.

And considering she’s never denounced the notable white supremacist segment of her fanbase (and I’m pretty sure is actively friends with a few), the doubt does not contain much benefit.

I'll be honest: Everything is weighing heavily on me right now.

It's not awesome about worrying whether you and your family members will be able to pay bills.

All I can do is remind everyone that I make cute, quirky art and write strange stories:

In Forest in a Shadow Box (Verdantland Trilogy 2), I’m diving deeper into Kenorian history and politics. Highlights:

• Philosophies around altered humanity
• The downfall of Kenor’s aristocracy
• The religious origins of its “don’t talk about things you don’t like” culture

1. this is true

2. Itchio reviews are, unfortunately, only for the creator's eyes. if you want to write something kind for other potential player's to see, please make it a comment on the game-page instead.

no I don't know why it's set up this way but it is.
You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch?

The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive.

Being nice is cool. Keep it up.

This could fund by Halloween.
This is going to need help from someone with bigger reach to fund. It could fund so quickly!

Again, it's for a South African small press owned by a Black woman editor and activist. Translations of stories about gender, trans acceptance, corruption, loss, and masculinity.

It's so worthy. 🙏🏻

I'm a big fan of Terese and I can't wait to read all the stories in this book. Canlit and Canspec should get right behind this. A speculative anthology filled with Black writers from Canada?

Let's go.
Congratulations to Guelph MFA alum @teresempierre.bsky.social on the release of #ASTHEEARTHDREAMS (House of Anansi), out now!

Edited by Terese Mason Pierre, this groundbreaking anthology of speculative fiction uplifts the spectacular imaginings, reflections, and hopes of Black writers in Canada.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.
