How much I love you is honestly a testament to how much I hate myself.
Statuses
Being an indie author be like
Being an author is hard. Cause some days you just wanna NaNo but then you have to schedule like 400 days worth of promotional posts, beta a book, look for a PA, and summon the devil to keep your sick ass awake to do all this shit.
5 Things that Influenced Me As a Writer
1. POLITICS
2. LACK OF MULTI-RACIAL OR QUEER MCS
3. URBAN FANTASY HAVING ALMOST NO DIVERSITY

@Amazon and their Review Gatekeepers
It is so fucking frustrating as an indie author when people have been reviewing your book but Amazon is like naw fam, I don’t feel like posting this.
This has been happening to me so often that fans (not just my writer friends, actual fans) have reached out annoyed that their review is still not listed on my book page.
At this point, it isn’t even that Amazon is deleting them. Like, I haven’t even SEEN them. Amazon is legit just not posting them at all. What the fuck?
These are people who actually purchased my book, read it, enjoyed it, and want to post a review. Why is Amazon doing this?
It doesn’t make any sense. Like I’m not paying for reviews, I’m hardly even begging my friends to review it because I legit know they won’t.
These are legitimate fans of my work like post their fucking reviews Amazon, you coward.
Writing Be Like
Girlfriend: Hey can you write me a short smutty moresome with 3 girls and 2 guys?
Me: Sure! I’ll start the scene right before the sex happens so it won’t take too long to write.
Me: *40 pages later* Oh, fuck.
