I forget if I ever posted this particular kandi bracelet, but it had to be done (and is one of my favorites).

GUESS WHO'S IN THE MOTHERFUCKING HOSPITAL

The good (?) news is that it's not life threatening. I have a condition called Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) where my body decides that my blood platelets are the enemy and must be destroyed. Normally what this means is that I get a few mystery black and blue marks on my body and frequent bloody noses. Well this past week it got Really Fucking Bad for the first time since I was a toddler to the point where I immediately had to go straight to hospital to get pumped full of fresh platelets, hemoglobin, and then an extensive steroid treatment. So like, not the afternoon spent writing and baking blackberry cobbler like I had planned.

Anyway, I'm mostly writing this to let everyone know that my normal update of To Observe Soft Flesh will be delayed until I the nice nurses and doctors ensure my body won't continue to fight the blood that IT'S MAKING! YOU MADE THE BLOOD, BODY! GET IT TOGETHER!

That's right. I've been struck down by the Ao3 Author Curse. My hubris was my undoing.

The good news is that thanks to my disability I have some good health insurance, I know there's going to be some fun expenses in the future like the taxi ride home, new medical supplies, and food since I have no idea what condition I'll be in when it comes to cooking. So maybe consider picking up a copy of my novel or one of my novellas? It'll help me out and you'll have something to read until I get back!

I'll keep everyone updated if there's any new developments. Now it's time to drown all the many, many beeping machines out with the Project Hail Mary audiobook.

Thought this magnetic nail polish application turned out especially well, so actually bothering to post it. This one is ILNP Adrian and I haven't compared it directly yet, but I feel like it's sort of like Zero Degrees but without the extra holo shimmer.

Hey do you self-publish, or do you go with a publisher? I'm currently tryna shop my first novel around to publishers and if you've got any suggestions or advice I'd be super super thankful!

I primarily self-publish, although A Coup of Owls has published one of my novellas, and I've been in a few anthologies!

A Coup of Owls are great, of course - I would definitely recommend also maybe searching for queer publishers on Bluesky, especially an appropriate List of those taking novel submissions.

[sucker-just]

It's so cool that you can self publish and be carried by Libby (my little library basically a world away has a whole two pages of your work). Do they like make an offer or something?

[johannestevans]

When you self-publish via Draft2Digital, your books can be stocked through Smashwords, Apple Books, Kobo, Amazon (although I publish to KDP directly), Barnes & Noble, etc. My paperbacks are also stocked in Waterstone's because they're published through Ingram via D2D.

After you decide the shops you distribute to, you then have a choice of library apps to distribute to - Hoopla, BorrowBox, Vivlio, CloudLibrary, etc.

Unfortunately, all of them except Hoopla, I think, autoreject erotica, but everything else I publish I make sure to make available in library apps if I can!

I am also more than happy to make eBooks available (in ePub, Mobi, and/or PDF) available to smaller-run trans and queer libraries, like for book clubs, social clubs, etc! They just need to get in touch by email, and I'm always happy to donate books to good causes like that.

Kind of a wonky picture, I know, but I thought it would be fun to post the kandi bracelets I made, based on Project Hail Mary. The first one ended up too big from the long text (but I had a Vision and was not going to change that), so I made a pair of Grace and Rocky bracelets for stacking with it.
