I literally had to bully my artist friend into taking my money and getting to work. I know she hates AI slop as much as I do, and I can't trust internet ppl. I was over here asking her for her days off work so I could hassle her when she was free to do the arting. Got me a couple covers out of her.

Beautiful product placement in a book? Oh... It's for another book. Well that's alright then.

Actually, our freezer decided to shit the bed, so my art budget became new refrigerator budget over night.
I got no money for art now, but I still refuse to do the ai slop thing. Gogo gadget ms paint cover!

That's rad!
I find myself lacking both a space dragon, and a jellyfish space ship. I got the blue-eyed redhead though.

I made some dude reading this cry with only the first five chapters. There's 6 chapters available now, and the 7th will be out this afternoon.

Fuck I hate AI. No wonder the last season felt soulless.

Yorna decides to just leave the planet she was born on because she doesn't want to get drawn into local politics. Ends up involved in galactic politics instead. Shit like that happens when it turns out you're the Space Dragon Scion.

I will use some shit I made in paint before I use an AI cover. As evidenced here. www.royalroad.com/fiction/1470... In my community magazine contest entry on Royal Road.

Sheena's pissed at Lucas for refusing to pay, and sneaking in. She's even more pissed at Rex for getting both of them caught. Bethany paid for their badges afterward, because she wouldn't wanna Con without her crew. The Nuphidri Keeps getting complements on her cosplay, but she's just an alien.

I have found someone I am currently working with. Sorry. I'll have 2 more books later this year, so you might have another chance to snatch me up for a cover then.

The humans are using magitech, High-Sci-Fantasy. The 'hero ship' in the story looks like a Jellyfish. Imagine if the Millennium Falcon was a Jellyfish.
The dragons were created by ancient wizards in the golden age of magic. Flux, the HUGE red one on my paint version was made of martian stone.

Nice work! When I do that much in a day I usually feel pretty cooked at the end. I hope most of them didn't suck and survive the editing process. I wrote 7800 words in a day once, but everything after about 5k was just... trash. Straight in the bin.

So much more writing than reading... I still read a few books, more unfinished books than published ones. Working with other authors.
This last three months I have only read one, just been in a dead sprint to write this book. Not a lot of time for reading. But the book is done. It's out on RR. Free.

Noooo! How will you grow your magic powers if you keep removing your magical level ups!
(I get and do the same, but I shouldn't be trusted with powerful magic)

I was thinking about joining SFWA this coming year too. Now, no dues, and probably never gonna happen. I have recorded who is on the board and as long as one remains, I will not join. I suggest everyone else stop paying dues as well until the board has been fully replaced by humans for humans.

I've got a short story that's basically spraying fresh cut onions in people's eyes, and it was an absolute joy to write.

A single step back in the right direction, but you basically threw any trust I had in you guys off a cliff. Gonna be a few thousand steps to get it back. Tall cliff.
Still in camp, 'the whole board resigns, and we get a new one that wouldn't have shot itself in the foot because the LLMs said to.'

I hadn't even realized you could sell books on itch... and I kinda got the feeling that the people on itch are more my crowd.
Thanks!
