I'd like to hope I can pin this somehow.
I've been seeing an annoyingly common trend these days among younger artists. Don't DM people to ask for a commission. It's really bad form, not to mention impolite. If someone loves your artwork, they will ask you. Post on your profile, but don's spam.

Ever since connecting with her Elven kin, Laurëa has fallen in love with belt pouches. Rose teased her, asking if Fanny Sacks were back in fashion, but the Elf loves them.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

What is something your character always carries with them?

In a purse, a bag, a secret pouch, a pocket?

Is there something they never travel without? Why?

Receiving meaningful reviews really helps writers know their work is going in the right direction. Please be kind and offer honest, meaningful reviews - or even critiques of an author's work. While write as much for ourselves, how you feel about our work is important.

Taking care of myself because life really does go on.
You’re not going to be stuck forever. You're not going to be hurting forever.
You will love. You will heal.
And you will move forward.
Everything will be okay.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"
