i'm CERTAIN you'll have answered this somewhere, but i can't find it so i'll have to ask. is there a particular way of purchasing your debut that benefits you more than others in any way? I have no idea how you get paid for your work as an author, but i know it can be a minefield with creative careers.

thanks for your time, and i'm SO mega happy that you're getting your life back now, to actually live. i'm in awe of what you've acheived in the midst of so much, with so few answers, for so long.

super fucking excited for sir cameron!!!!!

I’ve been saying “lol I dunno” whenever people ask but yesterday I learned that THERE IS AN ANSWER!

it’s actually kinda interesting. so if you pre-order on most bookstore websites (indigo, waterstones, etc) the sales don’t get tabulated right away. when the book is actually released, in the first week of sales, THEN those pre-order sales are counted. so you can have slow but steady pre-order sales that get lumped together into an explosive first week, which makes your book look like a best-seller.

whereas with Amazon, the sale counts rights away. so if you have a good day of pre-order sales, it’ll boost the book for that day, and then come back down.

SO: the best place to pre-order is any site that isn’t Amazon. but tbh, it probably doesn’t matter that much and you should just go with whatever is most convenient for you :) and also thank you so much!

Joining the war on queerbait on the side of queerbait bc after a time you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical but is often true

It's impressive how Neil Gaiman vanished from the internet. Wish Rowling would do the same.

2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)

3. What ideas come from when you were little

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in

9. What are your file name conventions

12. Easiest part of body to draw

13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing

15. *Where* do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)

16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing

17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what

18. An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

22. What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any

23. Do you use different layer modes

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended
