Doing a major sale on my commissions!

They're great as presents, or for yourself. I mostly draw human characters and animals, but I am also open to drawing furries and real people, as well as smaller pieces like portraits. I will only be doing the discount for 5 people, or until November 8, after which my prices will return to normal.

You can DM me here, email me, or fill out my commission form. More information and examples can be found at my website. Reblogs are appreciated!

I was part of the Swim On charity zine this year! It's a wonderful project with 140+ gorgeous works of shark art, and all proceeds are going to Finfree, to help stop shark finning.

It was a great experience to work on the project, and if you like sharks, please consider looking at it and/or sharing it with other people!

We were given the all clear to share the full pieces we did for the zine! This year was the biggest success for Swim On, and I'm so happy I was able to contribute. You can still pick it up and all proceeds will continually be given to Finfree. <3

I just think people write out of obligation too often.

"How do I motivate myself to write through the boring part of my story?"

"How do I make this boring scene not boring?"

Don't write it.

Don't write boring things just because you think the structure of the story demands it. I promise it doesn't need to be there.

If your characters need to have gone shopping for a later part of the story to make sense you can just have a sentence about how they went shopping and move on.

You are not obligated to write the boring parts. No matter what those parts are.

You are not obligated to make the parts of your story that you're not excited to write interesting somehow.

You can just write the fun and interesting parts and gloss over and summarize boring things.

Your audience will thank you and you will thank yourself.

my writing life got so much better once I realized that if Tolkien himself was allowed to have his viewpoint character knocked unconscious so he could skip writing a battle scene, I could, too.
