Coming in December: Broken Records by Lilah Suzanne
Coming December 17th from Lilah Suzanne, the first book in her Spotlight series, Broken Records:
Los Angeles-based stylist Nico Takahashi loves his job—or at least, he used to. Feeling fed up and exhausted from the cutthroat, gossip-fueled business of Hollywood, Nico daydreams about packing it all in and leaving for good. So when Grady Dawson—sexy country music star and rumored playboy—asks Nico to style him, Nico is reluctant. But after styling a career-changing photo-shoot,...

Chapter Lengths
For those of you who are posting your work online as you’re writing and you need to figure out chapter lengths, see this post I made about a month ago. It’s a lot more common to have consistent chapter lengths when posting in installments like this, because your audience expects it. The rest of this post assumes that the writer is working on a novel with the intention of sharing it all at once when complete.
I got two questions this weekend about chapter lengths, so in the sp...

Do you like selkies because you like seals? Or do you like seals because you like selkies?
Oh gosh, this is a difficult question. I love seals and selkies, and I don’t quite know which came first?

I’m putting together a book of all the short comics I’ve drawn over the past year to have for sale at my spring conventions! Not sure what the title will be yet, but the uniting themes of all the stories seem to be Girls and Magic.
I drew this selkie comic really fast and it bounced all around tumblr which was cool, but the messy lettering and simple coloring bugged me so I cleaned it up a bit.

Diversity is legitimacy. It’s sincerity. It’s truthiness, to borrow a certain expression Diverse storytellers mean diverse personal experiences being brought to the table, and more honest depictions of those experiences on the page in fiction.
It’s not impossible for a creator to write about an experience they’ve never had; that would be a silly thing to say. But Cis Hetero White Male isn’t the default mode of human.
Experiences influence creativity, and there need to be more than one set...
