One would think after like a dozen jabs the side effects would go away...but nope! 20 hours later, and the nausea just started to subside and I am still pitching a fever over 38 C. Sigh...

Got my Covid and flu shot today. Still no superpowers. Even after 10+ jabs.

Please tell my I am not the only indie author struggling to get people to leave reviews on my boobs. I mean books! BOOKS! Fricken typos.

Caught some guy taking random photos of my car. -Not because it was parked poorly -Not because there was a problem -Not because they were going "LOL, look at this n00b" Apparently adding $500 worth of purple stripes to a Bimmer makes them go, "Wow." Car tax below.

Does any other artist wish their art style was so stylistically pleasing that people turn around and start calling it AI? Because imposter syndrome is strong today and I feel like people would be more likely to accuse me of stealing some 8-year-old's homework.

KD Float recipe (ft Solly's KD Cream Soda) 1 can of KD Cream Soda 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream Whipping cream Chocolate sauce Add two scoops of ice cream to glass. Pour soda slowly. Add whipping cream. Drizzle chocolate sauce. For a drink with Kraft Dinner Mac & Cheese soda, it wasn't bad.

I was given 8 of these Solly's KD Cream Soda and I have been trying to find authentic Canadian ways of paying tribute to the worst food/drink collab ever. this time, we have the KD float!

People who knowingly read AI books are dumb, because they happily and unironically enjoy books from writers who are too stupid to do any thinking themselves. I prefer to have discerning readers as my audience, not morons. Thanks.

My strategy of commenting on obvious AI books with links to my non-AI books has yielded no results. As nice as it would be for people to buy my work out of spite to the AI author ghouls, or to have them reconsider their purchases and look into non-AI work, it hasn't panned out.

Me, an author, yelling at my KDP hoping it will listen and make number go up. My friends, I am sad to report, it did nothing.

How can someone be this stupid yet have the confidence to believe that they are a real author? My author imposter syndrome is because I have an IQ greater than 60. (FYI, their books are AI. Mine are not.)

I wanted to try trail running. Got my hiking runners, bear bell. I'm ready. Promptly finds the one tree root and lands on my face.

I am angry today. I am so fucking angry. I got mad at reinforcing stereotypes. I got mad that the random stupidly-rich ladies I know of actually don't respect women's work and do not pay. I got mad at the idea of white superiority. I got mad at DEI incompetence hires. I just got fucking mad.

I just hate to think how fast my THIN novel would be placed into F tier on a book cover list. People have seen just the cover and assumed the worst of it. It is actually banned from certain platforms because "fat women in underwear is disgusting." youtu.be/qFpxXsMxPTs

Me, an author, who wrote an entire chapter that covers the awkwardness of Thanksgiving gatherings, who forgot to promote my book on "Canadian" Thanksgiving. 🫠 This author stuff is hard!

In Vancouver area. The house my parents bought in 1987 cost $180k. When they sold it in 2006, $471k. In 2025, it was sold for $1.4 million. Wages do not match housing inflation.

my friends got me 8 Solly's KD Cream Soda and like the insane Canuck I am, I decided to make the ultimate Canadian drink...the virgin Caesar...with a @kraftdinnerca.bsky.social soda. lord, help me.

I'm an author. Read my shit. Or read me to shit. Either or.

Somehow I ended up in a meeting where the owner of OnlyFans was brought up in a way that had nothing to do with OnlyFans but was also 100% related to what the meeting was for. This was at a funeral parlor. No one had died.

Was given the magical KD (Kraft Dinner Mac and Cheese) soda pop. Eww...

Can I convince you to buy my books based on my art? 1=Beautiful Dreamer 2=Thin 3=Three Wasted Chances 4="Cuddles, Devourer of Worlds" featured in Uncle Aberrant's Compendium of Cosmic Delights

87 chapters of audio book edited. 3-5% of total minutes need to be re-recorded for clipping, clips, weird fades and echoes. But the worst is over. Finally.

So much for supporting indie authors... Amazon. Do better. I expect 1 million positive book reviews, NYT Best Seller status and pride of place on every market. If you can do it for the AI slop, you can do it for me.

Anyway... What was that stupidest thing you spent an unfathomable amount of money on that is related to your characters or your writing? I am looking for Lamborghinis here. (Please don't ride my characters.)

Use AI to talk to your characters. Umm, no thanks. They show up enough in my dreams, act canonically, and I really like my kidneys, thanks.

Writers claim they spend a stupid amount of money on their writing and characters... Then there is me. Book soundtrack (produced by Dave Rodgers Music) and statue (foundry is Firebird Bronze). You will never out-stupid-spend me.

Yo! Did you know my book character has an official Eurobeat song? (You know...the Initial D anime meme music for vroom vroom cars, drifting, and DEJA VU!!!) Wha?! You didn't! Let's fix that! open.spotify.com/track/59bfPy...

While every other author is bringing the glam or using AI, I am putting myself out there in the only way I know how. Peak.

Some days I really hate being an author.

My new author gremlin marketing move...shouting out my non-AI books on AI authors' book posts. Follow for more tips!

Person claims they are a writer and uses Claude to "help" edit. After the first paragraph it becomes an entire rewrite. Garbage in, garbage out. Please support actual authors (Hi!) and avoid stuff like this.

WTF did I just read? Is this how AI "authors" "write"? As in, not at all? Meanwhile some readers wonder why non-AI writers like me get mad my work doesn't get read. HELLO?! Don't you want to read a book from someone who can make at least 1 proper sentence?

I do not understand why people take anything recreationally. I took some Sudafed for a runny nose and am as high a flipping kite right now. THIS IS NOT FUN!!!

My KDP earnings went up 5 Canadian cents since the start of this month thanks to... The exchange rate! Woo! 🇨🇦

Guys...girls...people...err...aliens? What did I do? No, seriously. What is this?

I am a LGBT author and writer who isn't neurdivergent. My hair is dyed raven blue/black. For those who color their hair in non-hair colors... Who are you? I have a theory.

Don't write a thinker book with a whiny character who doesn't like their Twilight Zone reality. You will get a lot of 1 stars like my Thin novel did and wonder why you didn't write something less difficult.

Blah. Lazy. Read my books. BLAH!!! #writer #book

Google "Dutch Angle" and get Dutch Angle. Neck is sore.

Why do I have 900 followers on TikTok? All I do is bash the romantasy genre like it owes me money, which it does. ACOTAR existing is trauma and I and my 900 followers need therapy.

Found a dumb author on Reddit "I am an old, mediocre white guy who self-published a dreck thriller novel that no one read and now an agent wants to represent me! They also say I need to pay their editor friend." Dude, you are a loser and your book sucks. It's a scam!

Someone managed to out me for one of my fibs yesterday. Respect.

F entitled dog owners. I was in a park that is not off-leash. Someone lets their "precious" Shitsu off leash, around a sand box with babies in it, and then the dog pees on a stroller, the whole while the owner gets yelled at by some parents and does nothing but look indignant.

Anyway, my general beef with the sci-fi + fantasy romance hybrid books is that they use space or things like time travel as a backdrop but can't understand that Earth is not a fixed point in the expanding universe.

A lot of romance sci-fi/fantasy writers are dumb, or at least not creative. Somehow, I made space facts into plot. Planet X? Flung out of the solar system by a lonely sun trying to smash Theia and Gaia (proto Earths) together so it could feed Jupiter and maybe make it a star.

Just found out books are about the only Canadian good not slapped with a 50% tariff. So, for those Americans who want some signed hardcovers and have money to burn and not use it to burn down your corrupt institutions and overthrow autocracy... Hint Hint!

Post a joke, make someone laugh, someone buys my book. Great! Except, problem. I am not funny haha more like funny hah-huh?.
