Writing from my kitchen table today because the desk is buried under research books, mugs, and life. Not glamorous, but the words are moving. If you write from chaos too, I see you. How do you make it work? #authorlife #writinglife #writerproblems

Screenshot of a key point from the game Persona 4 Golden, showing white text on a black background. The text reads: "There will be dramatic turns in the story from this point.

By the time I publish I'm usually so sick of looking at my own work that I don't read the epub. But I was redoing the cover art for one of my books, so I downloaded a copy to check the layout and *immediately* found a typo. Is there a way to burn the whole internet down real quick?
