The number I picked this week was... 15! because that's the date it was on Thursday ^-^;
The winner this week is with a guess of 13!
Leave your request in the comments with links to references please =3
Also guys my editor wants to see my comics and I'm actually scared stiff of what she's going to think X3
EDIT EDIT: So I'm reading this www.copyblogger.com/cj-lyons-e… and I encourage any authors or writers to go ahead an read it... gives me some shiny shiny hope ^-^ Also helped calm my fears about how much I put on DA... hehe maybe I need an e-mail list too, am I right? XD
But the message remains the same as it always did for me.. if you want to be successful, you have to work hard and be patient and build up a fanbase.
DA is great place to do just that - and draw free junk for people sometimes - and I really hope I never have to leave.
Don't mind me, I just like to share the motivation around X3

"Ambrosia. The Drink of the Gods. Thick, syrupy and vanilla flavoured, for some reason. It also contains enough calories to kill a mortal on the spot, so it's just as well that mortals are no longer mortals by the time they finish drinking it. Like Seralina, for example. She hadn't really meant to become a god. She hadn't taken the warning 'This will make of ye a god' seriously. It was her general policy not to trust any claim beyond 'It tastes all right, really'. She certainly didn't trust anything that sounded made-up or used words like 'dynamic'. Going round trusting words like 'dynamic' could get you into trouble. As it turned out, so could ignoring warning labels."

Patron Goddess of LanguagesPrologue
Amoretta sat at her desk, rubbing her forefingers against her temples.
'Ugh, why did I leave all my studying 'til now of all times?' she groaned. Amoretta had a test the following day. A writing one, preferably. She had to write a whole mass of stuff entirely in keigo! Unfortunately, if there was one thing Amoretta was guilty of it was procrastination. Procrastination was really bad, especially if you're a third year student.
'B-But hey,' Amoretta began saying to herself. ' 'Cause I'm studying now, it'll be fresh in my head for tomorrow!' After laughing nervously to herself, Amoretta stopped and groaned again. She let her head fall against her desk.
The worst thing was how Amoretta had no one to actually support her. Sure she had friends, but they were either sleeping (because it was really late) or studying. And she lived in Japan,
Holy cow that's a lot of stuff.

My experiences with harassment + reactions to it
Probably some people will unwatch me for this like that time I complained about boob groping in anime being unacceptable and contributing to the very real problem that it is in Japan but oh well. I won't miss you, off you pop. This week a debate has been sparked about women's safety after the murder of Sarah Everard. No doubt this is not the only murder recently however women have been prompted to share their experiences of harassment to show how just how common it is. Now, yes, I know not all men. And I know we have a lot of work to do on men's rights too. Men should be allowed paternity leave, to be stay at home dads, and men's mental health and abuse against men is not talked about nearly enough. I'm a feminist, okay? That means I believe in equal rights despite your gender. Contrary to popular belief, feminist does not equal 'I hate men'. I've called out people treating men like a piece of meat, saying old fashioned things like 'All those men, and that girl has to carry her own
It's NaNoWriMo again~
For anyone who doesn't know, NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month. It happens every year and is a competition where writers all over the world write a novel of 50k words or more starting 1st November and finishing by the 30th! Website: https://nanowrimo.org/ My debut novel Eggs, Butter, Sugar and Disaster was a NaNo novel! I won in 2007. I also played along with Miss Prince in 2011 though I didn't complete the first draft until March 2012, so I failed that time (and I started with a chapter that time too!) Although the novel getting to completed first draft stage is always a win, no matter how long it takes you~ I can't participate for reals in NaNo because I'd be automatically disqualified for a: starting this novel before today and b: being a published author BUT I've had a chapter of Zaran's/Hettie's book done since April and not made any further progress for various reasons. So I decided enough is enough, I'm going to play along and try to complete the
I want my old DA back
So today has been a fun game of 'Did the Facebook algorithms just not show that post to anyone or is it that no-one gives a crap??' Has anyone else ever played this game? Doesn't it suck massively? I know I should not let FB likes affect my self esteem but previously I had DA where I knew I could go and show my hours and years of effort to people I knew would go 'Hey, good job!' but DA decided to make eclipse mandatory and it sucks and everyone hates it and I've lost the safe haven and online home I had been patiently building for 9 years. Only about 3 people see my work on here now. I'm also just very, very low on happy what with all the terrible things happening right now and that I am probably fired at the end of the week (it cannot be helped and I will not starve and it's actually of advantage to me in some ways, but neither is it great) You know what? I kind of hate Facebook. It always makes me feel inadequate, and I avoid it for months at a time. It probably is my lack
