I am very critical of everything I make, I can always think of something worth fixing—but there’s also those strange (and rare) moments where as soon as I set the pen down I *know*.

It’s done.

And I’ll look at it, again and again, but I’ll already know the truth; it’s done.

With the weather warming up, I thought I’d draw some summer outfits for my characters!!

Hoshi (they/them), in the floral pattern, is the protagonist of my upcoming book! Hoshi would be the *most* excited for the warmer weather, since it means they get to break out all their summer clothes. 👒

Cami (they/them), in the lemon print, is Hoshi’s s/o and a member of the main cast. Cami isn’t fond of hot weather—but they wouldn’t let that get in the way of the fun! Summer means beach parties, and...

I’ve been playing Going Under, the game is super fun—but what I want to talk about is the OST! There’s some real good writing music in here. 😍

So, I thought I’d share! 💿✨

I’m at the point of the book-release process where all the pieces are falling into place—many outside of my control.

It feels like… getting into roller-coaster. The locking mechanism activates, the car begins to move, and all that’s left to do is sit back and enjoy the ride. 🎢

With Hoshi’s book almost here, I wanted to get this off my chest:

⚠ Do not take my art as the “canon” appearance for my characters! I’m still growing as an artist and, honestly, I’m more interested in seeing how *YOU* envision them. Seriously. I can’t wait for fan art~ 🥰

STORY IDEA / WRITING PROMPT!! 😈

Your character has been trying to get a job for a long time—but their bad streak is over! They got a job, and today’s their first day.

There’s a catch though… your character’s new job is perfectly normal, but the workplace is NOT.

Further questions to get the ideas rolling:

🔥 How does your character get along with their coworkers?

🔥 How’s the drama at this new place?

🔥 Your character gets invited to hang out after work—what do they do?

How would you write this story? How...

So I was doing research for a zombie book somewhere down the line and of all the things I’ve learned this is the scariest:

Gasoline has an expiration date. Six-months tops. Which means that half a year into the outbreak your survivors are gonna be doing A LOT of walking. ⛽🚫

If you feel like you’re stuck, or that you’ll never improve, or that you’re no good at whatever it is you want to do…

Keep going. Just keep going.

You’re not stuck. You’re on your way. You’re growing. You are on the right path. 🌻💚

PS: With the book so close to release, I’m realizing just how important it was to be a little stubborn. To keep going no matter how many times I messed up, or no matter how many times life got in the way. I just kept going. And now, I am so—oh so glad—that I did. 🤞
