It’s about time for some fan art in here!Samson (they/him, ace) is from @strawberrydaggerstudio’s upcoming game, “How Not to Love.” Samson is just precious. I love them, and I can’t wait to see more of their story in the full game! 🍓❤️

It’s Art Friday! 🎨✨Jason (he/him, trans) is one of Hoshi’s closest friends. He’s had a pretty rough year, so he’s been crashing at Hoshi and Cami’s place. You’re most likely to spot him skating around town, or working part time at Cami’s music venue. 🛹🎶

It’s time for another BIG writing advice post! 🤓
I received a couple asks earlier this week asking me if I’d tried out stuff like Freewrite, and what kind of computers, keyboards, and software I recommend for writing a novel.
Although I don’t mind these kinds of questions, I recognize in them a certain voice that I’m all too familiar with.
The voice of a writer looking for something to make writing easier, faster, and more convenient.
But, is that even possible?

The last time I tried to draw Jason (back in January I think?) I struggled so bad that I almost quit drawing altogether. I just *couldn’t* make him look like how I saw him in my head.
I’m glad that I kept going. 😊🌻
He’s not there yet, but that’s a dead ringer.

My wife and I have been alternating playing Monster Hunter Rise and reading story games / visual novels together. 🥰📚
Also, please enjoy my hunter’s absolutely ridiculous outfit.
PS: I can’t believe this MonHun game just STRAIGHT UP up has the drop rates in the player notes. What a time to be alive.

It’s Friday and that means time to post some art!
Mako (she/her) is one of the characters from my upcoming book. She was the first member of the gang to unlock her secret psychic powers and, though she may be small, she’s packs a mean punch! 👊💥
Nearly forgot the mandatory comparison post! 🤓🎨

How to Set a Creative Goal
I’m going to be blunt here: a lot of creative people tend self-sabotage by giving themselves goals that are (1) not healthy and (2) completely unrealistic. I know because that used to be me.
I like to lead by example, so I’m going to give you my easiest, quickest, most successful guide for how to set your goal; regardless of whether you want to write a novel, edit said novel, pick up drawing, or learn an instrument.
1 - A Matter of TimeAsk yourself the following ...
