I've been following you for a while, and I'm so happy you got published! I have a story idea but no idea how to even start writing a book, let alone get it published. Do you have any tips for someone just starting the process?
Hi Anon! Thank you!! :D
Honestly, at this stage I think the best advice I can give you is to write the damn book. It sounds super obvious, right? But if your end goal is to get published it is REALLY easy to get bogged down in all the things you "need" to do to make it happen.
But the reality is that having a huge following on publishing twitter and 50k followers on BookTok and an amazing website and a regularly updating newsletter and a selection of really fancy headshots won't mean anything unless you've also got a manuscript.
So: write it. But like. HOW.
I mean. You just gotta sit down and do it. Which sucks. Here's you vs this big empty page and you have to fill it with words and AAAAAAAAA!!! SCARY!!
So... here's my advice!
If the start is too scary, don't start there. The first thing I wrote for Hartswood is on page 277. Don't know the beginning yet, or find it too intimidating to write? Skip it. Write the bit you're mad about first.
Related: if you want to write out of order, you can. Write the scenes that have grabbed you by the lapels and are demanding to be written.
Let the first draft be hot stinky garbage. The first draft is there so the book exists. The edits are there so the book is actually good.
Write every day, if you can. Set yourself a REALLY low word count to meet every day and try to hit it. And if you can't write on any one day, that's fine! Don't beat yourself up about it: life comes first.
Make yourself a private discord server that's just for you. Make a bunch of channels - ideas you want to include, changes you want to make, memes and funny shit related to your story. This way, when you wake up at 1am with an idea/worry, you can post it in there and its WAY easier to keep track of than a notes app.
Find someone to talk to about your story - whether that's just a friend to squeal with, someone to rubber duck at or a beta reader for edits. Its so much easier - and more fun! - if you've got someone else excited with you.
Skip the bits you can't write. Not sure if you've chosen the best word or need to do more research about something but are in the flow of writing? Throw that sucker into [square brackets] and come back to it later. It's better to ctrl+F it and fix it later than derail yourself by falling down a research rabbit hole now.
I hope that helps, Anon!! I love you 💖

What motivates you to draw? I'm a in between beginner and sorta 'expert'(I guess), and I have absolutely no motivation, y'know how you sometimes are in class, get bored and draw? It just turns out amazing, but when you ACTUALLY want to draw it's just...how can I say crappy?
Oh I remember doodling in class a lot! I think I can answer why there's such a big difference actually and also explain how I stay motivated
I think the reason for those turning out great is because we're forced in an environment/situation that we aren't necessarily too interested in, so we go to art as an escape and we get engrossed. We're not supposed to be drawing, but it's what we want. It's carefree, a distraction!
But when you just tell yourself it's time to draw, it's a bit more forced and putting yourself on the spot and it's serious. This isn't just drawing to pass the time, trying to make something good is the goal now. I think that can stress a person out so much to the point the art turns out strained and less natural
It took me a long time to grow out of this. I think the key is to lower expectations and not draw for it to look good (though it's nice when it does), but out of passion and fun! And well I'd say I stay motivated by watching things while I draw (I've got adhd) and by just getting in the zone. Or I will listen to music or occasionally a podcast. Sometimes I don't have any motivation, but I've gotten into the habit of doing it anyway because I have ideas I want to get down! Giving yourself a push can be needed.
Also seeing people enjoy my stuff is also a big motivator. When I draw, sometimes I think about my past comments and it pushes me to keep going! One thing I think about in my mind a lot is there will always at least be one other person in the world who will enjoy your work, so might as well finish it so someone else will enjoy it along with you!

Hi, im wondering if you have any advice for a first time smut writer? Especially when the writer hasn't even kissed someone?
I've had an idea for an extra nsfw chapter for my long term GO wip, and over the months have created a detailed account of what will happen with dialogue in my head. But I'm worried only reading NSFW fics will not be enough to help write it well.
I would ask in a discord server for advice, but I might gift it to a friend, and they're in all my servers 😅 If I do end up gifting it to them it'll ruin the surprise of "I've written my first smutty fic! Present!".
Oh boy that can be difficult! Though I don't think inexperience matters as much as you might think. While personal experience can definitely give you a leg up, I might be able to help a little.
In general, I think of sex scenes like fight scenes. They are surprisingly similar. Two people (and sometimes more) interacting physically with one another in ways that intend to evoke emotion. Don't worry a lot about the staging or where every single limb is, unless something really silly happens (ex: giving someone too many legs or saying they're on their back then suddenly someone is kissing their spine, etc) the human mind is able to fill in many blanks. Focus on the emotions of your pov character, how they feel, what they think, what they want to do next.
Reading sex scenes written by others is a good way to learn! I promise! I believe you got this and I'm sure you're friend will absolutely love what you wrote for them ❤️

hey jay! Ive been trying to shift using the void and have gotten pretty close i think but last night i forgot and went straight to sleep and ended up having a lucid dream without trying. In the dream after i realized i was lucid dreaming, i affirmed that i was in my dr and pretty much said all my affs that i planned to say in the void. The only difference is i affirmed that i feel no symptoms bc i dont like the floaty feeling lol. There was a really bright light and then i was transported to a weird version of my cr but i didn't wake up but like it felt real? Idk how to explain but yeah anyways i woke up for real after that. What did i do wrong 😭?
One thing that I would say first and foremost is try to not think that you did something wrong! I know it can be frustrating to not shift but you literally can't shift wrong or "attempt" to shift wrong. Getting too comfortable in that mindset can potentially make things worse. Instead, try thinking you did your best and that you got closer to consciously shifting/your DR!
In regard to this specific situation, it's possible that this was a half-shift (basically half in and half out of a reality; it happens a lot more than you think!). Since I wasn't there with you I can't really say what happened, but a potential half-shift was my first thought! This can be caused by a lot of things. The most common reasons I see people half-shift are getting too excited and "pulling" themselves back to their CR, having an underlining doubt about shifting, getting scared and not wanting to shift while it's happening, and it was one of their closest attempts and it basically just felt like a practice to get them used to it.
Everyone is different so again I can't say the exact reason, but I can say that usually when a person half-shifts, they're extremely close to full shifting! Almost every story of someone half-shifting ends with them consciously shifting soon after. Again, I would suggest looking at this as getting closer rather than a failed attempt! Even if this wasn't a half-shift, things like lucid dreaming and shifting in the dream are still pretty big signs. Keep doing what you're doing!! I really do think you're there; persisting and viewing this as progress is the only real thing I can recommend.

Howdy Dr Barty, I hope you're doing well!
I just wanted to say thank you for the story.
I'm trying to find my way into the medical field, having always wanted to help people tho never quite having the proper background until this past year. Between caring for my patients' physical and emotional well being and warding off all manner of sickness, it genuinely brought me a lot of comfort and catharsis seeing someone put into words the sentiments I often experience. It has been challenging, the losses have been heartbreaking, but I cannot imagine myself anywhere else.
So thank you for the story, even if some experiences closely mirrored my own to the point of wanting to scream. I'm aspiring to continue a formal education in medicine. In times of doubt, I hope I can turn back the pages and remember the values of compassion and that love, tho far at times, is never truly out of reach.
(Also necromancy and the plague are big areas of interest, so ye thank you for being the perfect fun blend. Rock on, funky little bird man!)
-Aide today, who knows tomorrow
It sounds like you are balancing a lot of difficult tasks and high ambitions in your life, Aide! I am genuinely honored that my tale brought you comfort among the difficulty, and I cannot even begin to imagine the hardships you have struggled through that make a book about plague feel so close to your own challenges! I wish you the best of luck in your future and hope you get to exactly where you need to be, however long it takes! Hang in there, I am believing in you!
Thank you for this wonderful letter!

I wasn't nervous until now. But it is almost 9 PM in my time zone and its only just before 3 PM in Florida... I feel like Dream is going to milk the hype until the end and I'm going to wake up tomorrow in a cold sweat because I missed rhe face reveal. If he posts at like... 10 or 11 PM in his time zone, I'm going to be dead.
I had an exhausting day and was ready to pass out by 5 PM already, there is no way I am going to be able to wait until 4 AM
NO WAY he wouldnt post that late because tomorrow is a working day and a lot of people would be already in bed by then. i think it will be in the next 2 hours max anogie im sure u wont miss it <3

mostly just the change and being alone for the first time. trying to find a suitable fit for what i want to do with my education is stressful while also trying to find how far away i want to be or how close. i actually just had to rule out more than half of my colleges as back ups due to family issues. it just feels a lot, especially when they tell you to enjoy your senior year, but how am i gonna enjoy it if i’m stressed😭
Eesh, that is scary
I'm not gonna tell u not to stress, bc that's inevitable. But remember that a solution is on its way as well. For now, make sure you're doing your best to take care of yourself ‐ mentally + physically <3
