Did some Character Design Work Recently for a book currently in development, was asked to do some concepts for a upcoming book and possible tie-in game

So I was scrolling through my oldest asks just as a way to remember what things were like back then and so on and I ran across this and it's an ask I can actually answer!

So uh. Exactly a decade later here we are. Ten facts about my writing:

I've written poetry in English, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish, even though I'm only really fluent in two of those.

I've translated a bunch of poetry in my life, and I'm currently making my first foray into translating a prose work from English to Russian.

I've written more prose in the last three years than I have in the rest of my life (all 3 decades of it) combined.

I've successfully completed NaPoWriMo thrice.

I've only successfully completed NaNoWriMo once and the resulting work is unusable. It's literally just 50k of backstory LOLSOB

I used to do a lot of collaborative storytelling/text roleplay, starting from when I was 12 or so. I started out in a Dark Hunters roleplay yahoogroup wherein I was definitely the youngest member, having never read a single Sherrilyn Kenyon book, because I make fantastic choices. I wasn't super active but it was a fun community to be part of. (I've since read one Sherrilyn Kenyon book XD)

So that was twenty years ago. Ten years ago I was doing a bunch of roleplaying on Omegle and on a Kushiel's Legacy php board and right here on tumblr as @puckishsprite.

Speaking of roleplays, one piece of writing that I'm slowly plugging away at is a Lasers & Feelings hack based on the Books of the Raksura by Martha Wells.

I've published two original short stories! Both with Duck Prints Press.

Exactly. You were thoughtful and went out of your way yet in return he didn’t think about you or what you did as a friend. He took you for granted and that’s wrong.

Have you talked to your mother about it? The drive and expectation sound like a lot on her physically and emotionally but if she's already turned down money it might be more practical to talk to your brother about other ways to compensate her.

I have talked to her, and she doesn't feel like she can say no without being a bad mother. You have to understand this woman apologizes to me for us having "small Christmases" by which I mean the dining room turn playroom not being covered in presents and I am in my late 20s.I have repeatedly tried to get her only buy me one particular thing she thinks I would really like, but no.

What? People do that?

Wish I could have been there!
