if I try to write ficlets in norwegian,,, who would read?
Tested the assembly with two pieces and ooooh boy hahaha omg
So I have thrown myself into a huge project, which is to make a plaid for my mother
This is the finished plaid from the creator and all the squares, half squares and quarter squares I have to do.
I've done all that so far, which corresponds to the four corners, all the big borders, half of the small borders and one baby square.
I'm doing it using yarn my mother wanted, which is a mix of cotton and merinos wool. There's 10 colours total but I'm not using the same as what is shown in the pattern.

writer survey question time:
inspired by seeing screencaps where the software is offering (terrible) style advice because I haven't used a software that has a grammar checker for my stories in like a decade
if you use multiple applications, pick the one you use most often.
Cross-posting my work to SquidgeWorld without changing anything in them because,,, you know, archive
and omg...
I was writing like garbage
ok here eat this onions fellow ibispaint heads <- incomprehensible sentence
so I did a screenshot redraw with my fucking mouse
I think I should like,,, start from scratch and just do some lil tracing in order to get used to using a mouse and then I can start just redrawing stuff and maybe after finally doing stuff by myself?
Might be the best way for me not to hate my art completely and slowly getting a style without worrying and hating myself too much

In light of the recent PostPlus nonsense tumblr is trying to pull, here's a reminder that monetization of fanfiction can lead you to legal trouble. On Ao3 it's against the TOS to even mention any money-sending site at all because of the conditonal protection they offer.
Putting your entire fanfiction blog behind a paywall is like pointing a neon sign saying "please sue me". I bring this up specifically because tumblr mentioned fanfiction in the post that they made and that is going to leave a lot of people misinformed.
Remember: Do NOT paywall your fanworks.
And rest assured, my blog will never be pay-to-read, even if this weren't a fanfiction blog. I think the whole thing is ridiculous.
xey/xem French Don't be fooled, I'm a platypus, I don't much stuff (art side account)
