What I've Learned 6 Months After #SelfPublishing:
1. A capitalist economy values different things than the artist's economy
2. Your value as an artist is to harness ideas and put them out to the world
3. Don't quit

I love sharing deleted scenes. Here's one from DUSK where Theo quits his job after learning of the alien invasion in an attempt to keep his priorities straight. He's torn by his love for his work crush, Faith. #readers #deletedscene #fiction #scifi #books https://t.co/qUWSHZRD2q

My hands shook. One chance to get it right—an octopus, subtle and mysterious. Scarlet: a reflection of me I hadn't anticipated. Crimson tentacles flowing like Ariel's hair, Aries red, quiet with flair, constantly adapting yet able to disappear. #painting #timelapse #art #artist

@Nickyshearsby22 It's a wonderland!

[Kimberly Shyu @Kimposs1b1e]

My monthly #microfiction #story is up and ready for 👀. Liir is driven by vengeance, tactically outfitted for a night out, and strategically ready to combat the nefarious players who have a few things to hide.

Add your story to the post. Max 300 words.

@Molly_Macabre_ I scoured mine and thought I'd caught them all... But alas... 😆 It's a great lesson in overcoming perfectionism.

To be polite or to be environmentally conscious with LLMs: that is the question. Or... does it matter?

What say you?
