I'm not sure what to make of this... On the one hand I'm not a fan of landlords. On the other hand I love the idea of making all my weird ideas pay rent! 🤔 😂

I had a similar thought recently. I have adhd and I thought recently. I can make this life a wee bit easier for myself if I can cut down on thought distractions. it worked. I converted to minimalism. Less distractions, less things to keep track of or move less to think about for practicality.
awareness in moments :)

@NickEast @writers @writingcommunity @writing @humour I mean, it's the best possible kind of landlord: when you are your own landlord. By which comes the implication you also own the land - that is, the "mental land".

Hey there!

Looking for something new to read?

Below the Heavens is a high fantasy indie book series inspired by East Asian mythology and culture.

Available for free in webnovel form on RoyalRoad, via their webpage or mobile app, found in my bio!

@bookstodon

A book overview graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a medium purple-gray color, and a red ornate pattern overlays it. Above that layer is a centered transparent white box with a black outline, creating a border around the edge of the graphic. Within the box and to the top left is a dark gray book graphic featuring the novel's cover, a dark landscape with a towering castle and a large red eclipse encircling the top of it. To the right of the frame is a title in large, bold, black outlined, gray text that reads "Below the Heavens". Underneath that in red text outlined in black is a bullet list, which reads "High Fantasy. Ancient Spirits. Dragons." . Below the book graphic, title, and larger bullet list is a smaller bullet list. This bullet list reads "Detailed world crafted from scratch. Quick witted and likeable protagonist. Political struggles and intrigue. Unique auramaster magic system."

    @MonadicBlurbs @bookstodon Why thank you. I do need something to read, and I love non-European fantasy.

    Okay yes, I agree in principle, but would it be so bad if it look just a little better? 😂

    Dionysus in Wisconsin won third place at the New England Romance Writers Readers' Choice awards in the fantasy/paranormal category. I am definitely going to be cool about this and not use it as an excuse to call myself an AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR at every turn because that would be obnoxious.

    Check out the AWARD-WINNING NOVEL here: https://books2read.com/u/49dN1p

    Dionysus in Wisconsin has also been shortlisted for the New England Romance Writers Readers' Choice Award in the paranormal/fantasy/scifi/time travel category! I didn't get a chance to make a graphic specifically for this one, but I'm excited--being shortlisted means it went up against more traditional M/F romances and won!

    A square graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a photo of a large and vast library with arched ceilings and gloomy lighting. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent white square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. The title reads "New release!" in bold gray text, and below that to the left is a graphic of the book cover. To the right of the book is more text, which reads "Book 2: Beyond a Broken Horizon." Slightly below that in a new paragraph, the text reads "Chapter 61: A Change of Perspective". Below the book and centered on the graphic itself is more text, which reads "Check out this East Asian inspired novel, as well as its predecessor, on Royal Road! Available for free via web browser or their mobile app. The link is in my bio!"

    Celebrating a paradoxical 11/10 rating of my story The Last Philosopher by Spookyspackles on RoyalRoad 🥳
    But who knows what could have been if I had only given 120% instead of the standard 110% 😂

    Anyway, the story is free to read, links can be found on my profile, thanks and sorry 😁

    @bookreviews @speculativefictioncomedy @fantasybookstodon @reading





    Big D - 11/10 review by Spookyspackles on The Last Philosopher. The story has got some very strong Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy vibes. If you don't know that series, but like some well written, cosmic ludicrousy, this book definitely has the potential to fit the bill. The MC's 'nickname' is definitely used for some subtle tongue-in-cheek humour, and there's some clever plays throughout the rest of the chapter that make it a treat to read. And while the narrator is weaving in the comedy, they are also weaving in a ton of worldbuilding. There are some tense shifts within the first chapter (potentially intentional), but otherwise, the flow, spelling, and grammar are peachy. Overall, the author humanizes the furthest from a human thing you can probably think of, and does it well. Excited to see Richard's quest come through!
