All the 4s, it’s day 44 of my (definitely, maybe) futile one-woman crusade to keep real images popping up on your feed rather than AI.

Today is St. Martin's Day - Old Halloween! 🍂
Marking the end of harvest/ start of winter, it is a time for bonfires, lantern processions, feasts and wine.

Query me your raw, angry books. Give me your stories where characters explore freely their powerful & strong emotions without shying away. I'm currently reading IMMORTAL DARK by Tigest Girma & am obsessed. Next is FEMALE OF THE SPECIES by Mindy McGinnis. Then BABEL by R. F. Kuang
It’s Day 31 of my futile one-woman crusade to keep real images popping up on your feed rather than AI.

Your monthly reminder:
Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs you to tell your truth through your words.
