Get your short stories published!

I just found this writing submission website, through which you can find submission calls for anthologies and magazines. These are paid gigs, people! 

I'm fairly certain this is legit, and a better place to publish your bad fetus fiction than Wattpad: https://writingcareer.com/

As I've probably said many many times before, I want to be a graphic novelist. I really do. But I find blocks of words on a blank sheet much less daunting than blocks of images, dialogue, and movement that won't confuse my potential readership... Anyway, these 5-cent-a-word gigs can help soften the blow on my rent, so I'm going to give it a shot.

Wish me luck (and good luck to you, if you happen to be interested),

I MADE A THING

Aight, aight, so I made this painting thing, right? Looks like the character in the pic is totally detached from the background, ew:

BUT THEN! I went over to the photo editing stage (the last time I ever used PicMonkey, as they have since disabled free use :| ) and made THESE BABBIES:

What looks better, the red one or the pink one? I think I prefer the red, because it isn't so neon (omigod you have to read Neon Genesis Evangelion it's so good okay bye), but I've also always loved that pink/blue scheme...

By the way, I got Gimp. I hate it.

Still going to use ArtRage, I guess. It's very simple, and I like the way the tools work together like wet paint (or wet marker ink, in the case of this picture). Gimp is v confusing (or maybe I'm just technologically stunted?? Most likely.)

Okay but yeah anyway. I dunno which one's better, so I'm just gonna layer them up on my New Favourite Photo Editor, *~BeFunky.com~* (take THAT, PicMonkey). 

Hold on, 2 secs--

...

I mean, if you're into sashimi, it looks okay?

Which works out great, because I'm a huge weeb. ;)


Uhkay, so I think I like the red one best? Imma go with that one. (Yay for pointless overediting!) (*confetti*)

So even though my Bakuman-esque dream is being a graphic novelist, I have a novel-novel that's kind of almost done that I'd better go back to (who procrastinates by writing a blog post?). Lates!
