Hello new followers. I'm an artist & writer that has worked in animation & publishing for the past few years. I'm now self-publishing my work under my company Mythic Texture Media. Follow @mythictexture.bsky.social. My books can be bought online, your local bookstore, or library (on request).

I’m encountering the critique method of asking neutral questions in a writing class and I’ve realized. 1) I don’t know how to do it. I’ve rewritten it so many times and it’s still not neutral 2) I’ve been really too opinionated when giving writing critique in the past 3) wth?

Never used Book Vault but it’s now printing from within Canada. Hopefully, it’s a better alternative to KDP. No colour printing yet. bookvault.app/bookvault-no...

It has arrived. The amount of wives springing it on their husbands and watching their reactions make me want to have a temporary husband for this purpose.

My art. I don’t talk about it enough. But looking at it like this, I’ve enjoyed the ride. Hopefully, something here resonates with you.

I’m seeing random comments about a man travelling the Congo river and I want to know if I want to know.

There’s value in just spending time just washing and caring for your hair. I’ve gone years with a short hair because for me it’s easier to take care of. My longer curly hair does take more work, but I think I finally found some products that I like and work.

Home Depot sells these little pots of paint for about $7 and I haven’t been the same since. Any colour you want!

nobody finishes a book and concludes “that was great; now I shall never read another one.” other writers are your teammates and coworkers, not your competition.

My goals have changed over the past 3 years. I now want to create a book a year featuring Black folk. A novel, picture book, art book, animation, whatever. Relating to fantasy, wonder, and rest. And live a financially free life doing that.

My very unbiased opinion of this book.

so uh I'm back online after 3 years (!?) off socials I know all the terrible things that happened - tell me something *good* that's happened to you since 2023

actual hot take: y'all, generally speaking, are not interested in supporting BIPOC and queer authors when they are not writing about Hurt and Trauma because it's not educational to you. even if the books have BIPOC and queer casts and are in new settings.

I want to buy some veggies but all I’ve being seeing recently are recalls. I’ve never wanted to eat veggies so bad. I’m sure I will never want to eat veggies this bad again.

Has anyone lost their voice before? Been sick. Should I be worried?

A Black fairy popped up at my Word Vancouver table. My first superfan! #blackfairy #wordvancouver #mythictexture

Man. This is the first time I’ve been fooled by an automated voice. And the only reason I knew is because I had to call back and the tone of voice was exactly the same.

It’s Halloween in these mall streets.

Suppose I should try to dig up some business grants. And licensing companies. Yes, I’m avoiding writing but I might actually get 5 other things done so is it really a bad thing?

This cat did not want to be found.

I just watched a MacDonalds ad which I think was about finding a lost MacDonalds under the sea. It was a temple with the logo arches carved at the entrance. Greek columns and carved Greek gods eating burgers and everything. And I just…why?

Man. I did a mini nano in August. Just writing tons of stuff that was just telling myself the story. That’s the rough draft and she looks exactly how I feel about it.

New issue of Tar Baby with new stories by me and Ishmael Reed! tarbaby.com/shop/p/issue...

If you're wondering why authors are getting so rabid here: First Anthropic stole our books. Then we got denied compensation because of US unjust copyright law and publishers failing to meet their contractual obligations. Then publishers and agents apparently claimed author shares. Now this.
