the good news: I know my process enough to recognize this as the slump that I hit in everything I write when it's like three-quarters-ish done

the bad news: the only way out is through

the good news: I do know the way out!

Like, it's not even about wanting to be showered with praise. It's that this person spent a lot of time making the thing yall are gushing about. Don't you think they, more than anyone, want to chat about it with other people who love it too? Putting them on some weird exclusive pedestal isn't flattering or validating. They're just another fan who wants to talk about The Thing We All Like, Together.

Anyway, I am once again encouraging yall to talk to creatives whose work you enjoy, they don't bite. 💜

One day, we saw a server tag on somebody in a different server. It said "WYRM", and we were like, "We need that tag, because we're dragons." So, we hovered our mouse over the tag and learned the name of the server. The Bookwyrm Server, dedicated to books that feature dragons in them.

And we thought, "We have books with dragons in them. That's our thing. We write those. We should become part of that server."

Fortunately, it was not a private locked up server, but one with a public invite so we could join it easily.

So we did. And we introduced ourselves in the INTRODUCTIONS channel.

Immediately, somehow shouted, "IT'S YOU!!! There's a channel for your book down in the book club channels and you can talk about it there!"

And there it was! It was there!

And then after hanging around for thirty minutes, we discovered something else.

Every time someone woke up in the morning, they'd go to the general chat and type in "I sing my morning dragon song!"

Which comes directly from our book. We asked.

girldragongizzard was written and published near the end of 2024.

We still have fans doing this in this server to this date.

Do you understand? This is absolutely the coolest shit! It makes us feel alive!

If you are hiding this kind of thing from authors, you are being so mean!

And this is who you're being mean to:

hi! maybe you know me or maybe you don't. i'm an aging disabled genderqueer who has been living on this site for ages. i've shat posts, written poems, made music & videos too. i also host a few tumblr communities like my book club.

i have been unable to work for a while & am currently surviving in a low income apartment with help from family support, weekly plasma donations, commission orders & pawning old items. i am in a tighter spot than ever now with little help from assisted living services so far.

if you have enjoyed anything on this blog & want to help me live:

I don’t know of enough voice actors to have a solid voice claim but I do imagine Bravo and Piper sounding similar to Bugs bunny and Daffy Duck sometimes. Albeit a bit less intense for Bravo, though I can imagine Piper is irritable enough to do the Mel blanc yell
