LOOK AT MY OCS

[ilumel]

the senator from auresha has the floor.

[cavaleriesix]

Hey why didn't this guy write more. Doesn't he know this is my favourite book

[daisywords]

What I will draw: portraits, characters, OCs, pets, landscapes, etc.

What I won't draw: NSFW, furry, mecha, unrealistic body proportions, anything else I'm not comfortable or confident drawing

*I'm also open to simpler lineart/sketches for a $15 price. A complicated painting with a detailed background and/or multiple figures would be around $100. A simple bust portrait like the example on the bottom left would be $25. I will give you a quote before starting.

I primarily do digital art, but I'm also open to traditional drawings/paintings, in which case materials and shipping would factor in.

DM me for more details/if you are interested! Payment is via paypal.

Blacked out and wrote 2 pages tonight WTF

MY SILLIES!

[onomatopiya]

i’m graduating college in a month and i think i’m handling it super well actually (transcript under the cut)

When I was little I smiled wrong in our family photos

Squinty and too big

Gums showing

Which kind of fucked up the look

So my parents coached me on it until I got it right

I came out to them twice and both times it was by accident

My tongue slipped and I

I actually have a slight stammer

And I guess I didn’t learn my lesson the first time

So my parents coached me on that too

I went to school for business so I can tell you how a deal works

My parents are proud of me

No one worries about me

And they’ve become sympathetic to our neighbor’s trans kid over time

But thank god that isn’t their daughter

In exchange my senior photos are on our counter

Concealer layered over ugly

With a smile like bared teeth

There is a girl holding that stupid diploma and

I don’t fucking recognize him

To be honest I don’t think I’ve ever been a brave person

I lie down and take it

I don’t plan on telling them

Maybe they’ll figure it out when my voice is deeper and my grin looks real on my face

But I have to get there first

[cavaleriesix]

Teehee

@ettawritesnstudies spotted in the wild!!!!!

Oh! That's so weird, why is my book on eBay???

Edit: after googling a bit I think this is a drop shipper? All the listings are super marked up from my regular list price, so what's probably going on here is if the eBay seller gets an order, they'd buy a copy from me off Amazon and then keep the difference for themselves. Kind of ridiculous but there's nothing illegal about selling second hand books so whatever.

Crazy you got an ad for it though!!

[ettawritesnstudies]

If you want to buy Runaways from a reputable source:

These are all the retailers I sell through! (Includes Amazon, B&N, Apple, Bookshop and a bunch of others)

This is my Ko-Fi shop where you can buy a signed copy, study guides, stickers, and short stories directly from me!

If eBay wants to do my marketing for me all the more power to them I guess djdkjdkd

[daisywords]

alya portrait bc I've been neglecting my girl

[ettawritesnstudies]

Runaways is Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAA

First, forgive me for shilling my wares: eBook and Print copies are available everywhere and signed copies will continue to be available on my Ko-Fi shop! It’s been so surreal and exciting to hold copies in my hands and send them out to family and friends.

If you read my story, please consider leaving a review on one of the following platforms. Reviews are a huge deal for authors (especially indie authors like myself) because they help boost our ratings in the algorithm to reach new readers, and they help convince new readers that the book might be worth reading. You can always copy/paste your review between the different sites so it can be super easy.

Amazon – Goodreads – Barnes&Noble – Storygraph

Likewise, word-of-mouth marketing is super helpful. If you want to support Runaways, tell people about it! If you know someone who’d love a story about sisterhood, betrayal, faerie bargains, and redemption, then send them the links.

In case you missed my earlier announcement, I’m doing a live stream TONIGHT with a special guest!! My very own sister is visiting for her fall break and she’s going to be joining me on YouTube for a live reading of the first chapter and a live Q&A!! If you want to ask me or my sister any questions about the book, being a writer, or our sibling shenanigans, be sure to tune in at 8:00PM EST on October 31st! If you miss it, the recording will be on my channel as a VOD.

Finally, I just want to say thank you again to everyone who’s supported me in these past weeks. It’s so surreal and gratifying to call myself a published author today. This has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid, and so many people have touched my life to bring me to this moment. 5 years ago, I could never have dreamed how each “God Moments” would nudge so many kindred spirits across my path. At the risk of writing a whole new Acknowledgments section, it’s touching to think about how many people have taken a chance on my imagination. Thank you.

Welcome to Faerieland.

Happy consumerism day lol

If you're back Friday shopping today, consider shopping small and supporting a writeblr indie author! I haven't figured out how to actually run a sale (and I'm hosting family so I've been a little busy this week) but it would mean the world to me if you checked out my book! My 11 year old sister can confirm it would make a great gift for any young readers in your life.

[ettawritesnstudies]

Ooooo bookshop.org also has free shipping right now! If you're looking for indie book recommendations, I have an affiliate shop. If you order anything through this link, I will get a small cut, and you can also pick your favorite indie bookstore to get a portion of the sale!

Your wip’s protagonist is stuck in an elevator with other people. What are they doing?

Panicking— tight spaces are not fun

Wildly pressing every button

Chatting up everyone to pass time

Staying quiet and waiting patiently

They have an emergency plan in place for such situations

Taking out food and having a floor picnic

Cracking jokes, annoying everyone

Daydreaming or journaling

Reading the book they brought

Trying to bust open the doors with brute force

Trying to climb up the emergency shaft above them

Jumping up and down to scare the others

Reasons why you won't like my novel HOLIEST

I love my she!!!!!!!!!

[cavaleriesix]

Um what if I gave Felice a motorcycle

[ettawritesnstudies]

If I edited/compiled my last 5 years of writing advice blog posts into a book would you buy it?

Yes! That would be so much easier than digging through an archive.

Maybe, depends on the table of contents and price point

No, that's what you have a website for, write a different book instead

OP button only

This is kind of what I'm looking at right now!

Total word count is around 43K words currently but I haven't revised any of the posts yet, I could see it getting up to 50K. So a short and sweet little reference guide! Maybe $10 for a paperback if I set up my page count correctly and KDP gives me a correct estimate or a cheaper ebook?

[ettawritesnstudies]

if you vote please rb for a wider sample size!

[ettawritesnstudies]

also tell me if there's a topic that's NOT currently on the list that you'd like to see me cover in the final book to fill in a gap in the themes
