ʟ'ᴀᴍᴏʀᴇ!

I was gonna update Devourance last night, but I got drunk and fell asleep.

I'm so desperate I will do olympic-level artistic swimming in berry gordy's stale-bootycheek bath water if @michaelslament just gives me ONE devourance chapter *weary emoji* 

If I update Devourance by the end of this week, will you give us chapter 9 ???

I wish AI would just crap itself and shut down for, let's say... three months. THENNNN we'd be able to watch all the 5-long-jibbery-chapters-in-3-days "authors" coincidentally drop like flies in REALLL TIMEEE *grag willy yams chuckle* 

All an AI book cover says to me is that feeding a prompt into chatGPT is the PINNACLE OF EFFORT that person is willing to invest in the main attraction point of their work they spend... "sleepless nights" on, and that right there should uncover the puzzle all by itself, lmaoo 
          
          As someone who doesn't particularly have the patience or vision for beautifully curated graphics/covers like many writers here do...I'm telling you, please just keep your dignity intact and spend your five or ten minutes on a free editing app and call it a dayyyy. In the rare case that only the cover is AI and the writing isn't, all you're doing is discrediting yourself by association.
          
          In this scheming e-world of AI, you could make the most 'amateur' looking cover and set of graphics, and people won't have a damn thing to say because at least YOU did it! And if they do have something to say, there's your comeback!
          

I shouldn't even be sharing this book since I'm in a toxic relationship with it, AND the author of it loves playing with my feelings, but N E WAYY go check out Devourance by @michaelslament

Not bro Raemond unfollowing me bc I haven’t updated in a while ☠️

Something I've learned through the years is that fully investing in your characters behind the scenes is extremely important. Having drafts and drafts of backstory and random " how sally-sue would react if she was faced with blahblahblah" type things is an amazing way to bring a character to life in your mind.
          
          Bottom line, it's a wholeeee lot easier to write about what you know about. The emotional nuances will shine through when you know your character. Writing them even becomes easier because it can feel like they're telling you about themselves during the whole writing process.
          
          89% of my work that ended up prematurely dwindling failed because I failed to add that behind the scenes layer of 'human' to the character *weary emoji*. I was mainly "la-dee-da-dee-da fancy prose, the character is just a tool in MY circus." 
          
          When the reality is... you're really working with your characters, they aren't just working for you. This turned into a yap, but this is something worth yapping about! Writing is such a beautiful form of expression, and it only becomes more beautiful when you breathe life into it!

did anyone else stay up late and binge read until they started going cross-eyed and Y/N started registering as yuhnuh 
          
          I hope I can find the time to enter that era again *sobbing emoji*
