Um, I really don't like or want to do this, but I'm in a bit of a unstable position right now. I just need enough to help with things like soap, detergent, and other small utilities. Thank you very much for any help and your time.

Heyo! I'm The Legendary Hero BraveLeaf!

I also go by Ayanda, a black, and low vision (Keratoconus) author with a desire to put diverse faces at the front page of stories I tell, and every page after.

I grew up wondering why people like me weren't in the media I consumed. I want to change that.

The cover of Magical Girl Overtime Volume 6.
A witch with blue hair, cat ears and a tail in a black robe falls from the sky, above a dense forest region, chased by a red-haired catgirl witch in white who looks just like her.
They are both charging fireballs and about to unleash them unto each other.

I was 100% not prepared to the whole moderate to severe pain this eye disease brings.

The snow storm has obliterated my eyes...but I still write on

Chapter Seven - Ties that bind - Eldyr Chronicles Act 1 Altrean Carsus I never imagined something like this. I was at my deskβ€”a desktop with three monitors, next to a laptop I'd typically take with me. The office aboard the ship was small compared to the...

Well I had a thought and then whoops new chapter.

This makes up for me not uploading as much as I wanted to last week, and gave me a chance to disassociate for a few hours!

I want The trauma my characters carry to feel real and charged, I struggled for years until I started putting two characters with conflicting pain in the same room. It felt natural in a really vulnerable way.

Anyone else have strategies to make depth feel earned?

Im so glad you found the cause at least. My husband has infrequent fainting spells when his anxiety is high, so I know how scary even just one instance can be.

Only 2 DAYS until Fate of Yggdrasil's new chapter drops on #Verbals! That will end off #Janurary, and be a perfect time to start the #anime inspired #Urbanfantasy #Lightnovel series, it's TOTALLY FREE! #writing #Indienovel #Booksky #Friday verbals.io/chapter/d1a0...

I finally edited today. I did a chore i was procrastinating on for ages. I should be proud of myself.

The self doubt that lives in my mind is voracious. It feeds on every achievement, every moment of joy and demands more to consume.

I'll be damned if I let it win the war.

But tonight...u got it

I plan to get him tattooed on me as my first tattoo when the day comes, I wish I could properly explain with words how much a stupid book means to me 😭

I just want to say that I am seeing you. Whether that's a good or bad thing I don't know because I don't know you but I really hope you can see the beauty in what you do. Creating is never worthless. Wanting to be seen is never bad. I hope you feel better.

I'm glad writing was able to fill that gap, and I hope all is well

I feel ready, ready to just confront the world and all of my problems, ready to change and be enough for myself.

I'm tired of looking in the mirror and thinking so harshly of myself. Writing characters that embody confidence has made me so strangely motivated.

Whether you draw, or paint, or compose, or mix - whatever form of art you choose to create, make it exist. Bring it to life. Create it in a tangible form that can be enjoyed.

It need not be perfect. It might need work. It might serve as practice. It might even remain unfinished.

Just create. 😁

THE LIFE OF INK Ink's mother, Drew, has always had the ability to imbue inanimate objects with life. She just never showed it to anybody before. Not until one Sunday afternoon, when she spilled a bottle of squid ink ...

Chapter 9 of THE LIFE OF INK is up

A screenshot of WhatsApp:

Ash: SebastiΓ‘n, I have one very pressing question.
SebastiΓ‘n Di Martino: Let me know
Ash: Are jaguar soft?
SebastiΓ‘n Di Martino: They are very soft (two hearts on the answer)

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

I got my first comment on my royal road novel the other day, and gosh, it was initially pretty rough to read.

But I was so happy at the same time. Someone cared enough to write that.

It means the world as a new author.

"Nobody that knows The Architect has clean hands, Prince."

A character with a personality almost as big as her powers. Ciera has done anything to learn more about where her sister is.

Ok, being low vision and running into those wacky-ass captchas is crazy sometimes.

I'm not a robot, I'm just disabled. Please stop coagulating words into a series of monochrome spaghetti and just let me click on the elephants instead of the lamp.
