One of my first online writer friends has passed away.
Words can't describe the grief that's consuming me.
Matt was such a kind, gentle soul, always ready to help out with a supporting hand.
And he was so creative, guys. Always a fresh story in his mind.
Gods, I will miss him.

I'm very sad to share the news that our lovely @chaoticauthor.online has passed away. His ending was peaceful and surrounded with love but came far too quickly after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
I've known Matt for years. He was a warm, gentle, generous, all-weather friend. I miss him.

I have social anxiety.
Paired with a low self-esteem, it's a wonder I ever go out to events.
But I do, even though my head fills with bad thoughts, that no one wants me there, that people find I'm boring, fat, ugly or a nuisance.
I still go, hoping I'll connect with someone, who sees me.

When an exiled bard’s plan of vengeance goes awry, she must team up with a reluctant band of misfits and investigate the cause of a deadly mist spreading across the Icelandic-inspired continent in order to get rid of a violent curse placed by the mage she once protected.

A BALLAD FOR DIRE STRAYS
In order to get revenge for her friend's death, exiled bard Lore Talis has to team up with a band of deadly misfits & cross a dark mist that poisons the minds of whoever enters through it.
Like her corset, it'll be a cinch, right?

There's three rules to surviving as a nightrunner: don't get comfortable, don't be a hero, and don't be unlucky.
Corado's about to break all three.

I hate being impatient and impulsive.
Those are my two demons I fight against every single day.
I know I'm supposed to be working on other stories but it's hard when you're waiting for feedback for the story you've finished 😩

The fear of mirrors and how people feared it'd either take your soul or the mirror self would take your place.
Add that to selfies in phones as they're practically mirrors and watch social media shrivel to nonexistence 😈

I worry about losing our autonomy to something more sinister, which can be found in both new technology & old tomes, even nature.
As long as we don't lose ourselves, we'll be fine.
I'll stick to the old ways, rooted in folklore because there's always some truth in there.

Not receiving any item of clothing during Christmas which stems from our Yule Cat folklore. The gigantic cat would eat all the children who didn't get new clothes.
It doesn't exactly invoke fear in me now but I still keep up with the tradition by giving clothes
