The Brandon Sanderson kickstarter is freaking awesome. It's so inspiring seeing what an author can achieve by putting out high quality books and building a fanbase. True goals right there, and he's a great guy to boot.
Isabel buried everything *she* wanted, loved, and was so that she could be what her Abuela told her that her family and town needed. She was never given a chance to figure herself out. The others all at least got their own voice and some understanding of themselves.
Everyone saying that Isabel was a bitch completely missed the point of her character. She had it the worst. She sacrificed the most. She was going to marry and the bear the children of a man she didn't like - all for her family! She didn't even know who she was.
@AskWorkspace So I cancelled my subscription to Google Workspace a month ago. I just received an email that you'll cancel the subscription in December *maybe*.

It's hilarious that Twitter - the site that's been in international news so, so, many times for dragging people & actively working to destroy careers & lives - is going on about how FB is the devil.
Really? You think the Twitter algo is saintly? Look around.
- To make my friends happy.
Growing up I always told crazy fantastical stories when my friends were going through a rough time. My BFF was having a really rough time, a normal story wasn't cutting it. So a book was born and I got hooked.
Now I write to make strangers happy.
reasons authors start writing
- that need to create the books you want to read
- want to SPEAK without being interrupted for once
- a book made you cry so you will softly take revenge by making other readers cry
- imagination won't shut up so writing it is
- because spite
@GoblinWriter My 'outlines' are usually somewhere around 5 lines.
Open with heroine being badass. Rabid brownie!
Meet LI. Snark ensues.
Start the plot - intro evil dragon drug lords.
Middle subplot? LI family also evil?
Boss fight. Dragon kaboom.
Wrap up with a ribbon.
