As an artist, I’ve always been confident, but I’ve experienced self-doubt, like, ’This girl is so pretty, and they’re doing this that way’. But you need to create your own path, and if you believe in something, more than anyone else, then other people will follow. That’s something that I’ve really learned through building my self-confidence, whether it’s through acting roles or music.

Books by ace-spectrum authors with ace-spectrum main characters
When it comes to asexual representation in books, I’m most interested in reading ace main characters written by ace authors.

Thinking about this, I ended up making the following list of all the books/series I could find that have an ace-spec MC (or at least a point-of-view charac...
