These two are Mercury and Maddox. They were our foster kittens a few years ago. Maddox (the orange one) was actually the smarter and slightly more feral one, while the grey Mercury was more friendly to the humans. Then Maddox met a 4yo girl and was instantly tamed. They live with her now. :)

Given the trials and tribulations I've read about with normal self-publishing, I think I am glad I went with the serial format. Feedback for editing and motivation, a Patreon with a few people willing to pay for early chapters, and a connection to a small publisher.

I need to remember to use this more. Anyway, four different shots of our 3 foster cats 'helping' me play games by occupying my computer desk. :)
Yeah, as a poor, independent author with ADHD, I call BS on the idea of being against AI writing as being discriminatory. AI Art gets a small wedge of a pass if you aren't trying to pass it off as professional stuff. Like, making placeholder art or D&D character art.
