Hi, I'm Elle/Ellis! ๐ฉทโจ
I'm a black, trans, and autistic artist. I've been going through a bit of a rough patch financially so I made a GoFundMe to help cover my first semester of school as well as my upcoming ADHD assessment in August.
Please share! gofund.me/8b4e166b

This is what I was going to say. A lot of people donโt turn on their AC because of the cost. My mom didnโt use her dishwasher when we were growing up because it cost too much.

I was sitting on my floor. Went to get up and heard a sword-like sound. I looked around trying to figure out WTF was happening.
I had accidentally opened a game on my phone. ๐

On occasion I do. ๐ I remember being stuck in a downpour when I was in Ohio. I had my portfolio with me. I donโt know why I had it and I donโt know why I was walking. I think most things survived but the art wasnโt as nice after.

Iโm working on making my digital files more organized. They are all over the place.
At least your files can be saved as a different type of file. You can also print them if you are worried about permanence. (Though donโt do it with the average inkjet. I learned the hard way that they die in water)

I'd love to see your book for the aesthetics. You say it's ugly, and messy but it sounds amazing!
At this point I don't think I could do that. I've got too many pages in each book I have. I think I'd create more chaos and I have so much of that in my life already. ๐

I wonder if it's because it's harder to just drive across Canada. I've driven across the US and it's pretty easy to go to any city where you want in a straight line. In Canada it's more like a maze. Even when a place isn't that far away it seems like more of a hassle because everything is spaced out

Man sometimes giving a talk for a conference is the worst thing because I can't just go up there and be like "The thing about writing that you wish to learn is not something I can tell you in a couple of sentences, you have to write and then you will learn it, thanks everyone, buy my books." ๐ญ

Research agents before you query! IMO, the best investment you can make is a one-month subscription to Publisher's Marketplace ($25? $30?) -- to make sure you're querying agents/agencies with sales to reputable publishers. And if an agent ever asks you to pay anything? RUN. #AskAgent

I like to give my kids a choice to change his behavior before punishing him. Sometimes mistakes are made.
Me: Do you want to be good or do you want to watch tv?
8 year old: I want to be good and I want to watch tv!
Me: Good choice!
That worked out better than if I had actually said it right.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Twitter has gone downhill since the purchase. I donโt get a lot of engagement so I donโt usually post there now. While we all agree Twitter is bad, can I also say that the person running the account is also doing a terrible job. I have almost 2k followers and I can do their numbers without trying.

The first one. The rest are all about the aesthetic. Usually restaurants that are about the aesthetic are usually blah places to eat. Also they get a bonus for having all of the dishes so I can see what they look like. It helps when making choices.
