INSIDE TITLE ART REVEAL! This took me 6.5 hours total 😅 Im working on other inside illustrations as well as the cover now that I'm in the beta reading/editing phase. What do you think?
-----
“It was monstrous.”
“It was glorious.” The energy pressed down harder; Ash held steady not buckling underneath it.
“Glorious?” Ash scoffed, his voice low and filled with disdain. “It wasn’t me.” The grip on his arms tightened, as if physically holding himself together.
“Oh, but it was you, Ash. The ‘you’ they’ve always wanted—the ‘you’ you’ve always denied.”
Ash shook his head, his green eyes glowing faintly in the darkness as he glared toward the figure. “It was not me. It was... desperation.”
“Desperation,” the Entity mused, its tone
dripping with mockery. “Isn’t it fascinating how
desperation reveals the truth? In that moment,
you didn’t hesitate. You didn’t stop to calculate
or question. You acted. You killed. So tell me,
Ash, how did it feel?”
He remained silent, but the question lingered, sinking its fangs into his thoughts. How did it feel?

RELEASING IN EARLY 2025, DATE RELEASE SOON

Today I wrote about... 4k words? But before that I stared at my screen for a few hours. I was having a day of frustration. I just couldn't get a specific scene I had in my head to translate into words today. As much as I tried to skip it and come back to it I couldn't.
Its really hard for me to walk away from projects I'm working on, I get very focused very quickly on things I'm trying to complete. But I was successful in peeling myself away for a bit, escaping to watch The Office and eat some hashbrowns.
When I came back I was finally able to weave the words in a better way, I'm sure I'll have to go back and edit again but I'm happy with how it came out :)
It seems small, but that's a big battle won for me and something I've worked so hard on in all aspects of my life.

Learning to leave some questions unanswered for a while is like trying to grow wings. It’s hell. I’m too autistic for this

The zombie apocalypse is arguably an incredibly direct approach.

I know this is the website where we talk about artists and writers doing anything other than making art or writing, but man, we REALLY undersell how good it feels to actually work on your stuff.

the first draft is you telling yourself the story. everything else is just cleanup.

writer’s block isn’t real, it’s just your characters deciding to go on strike because they’re mad about how you’ve been treating them
