Under the Surface

I have a "What I Did During Our Year of Dumpster Fire 2025" post in mind, but we're not there yet. Where are we, then? We're at a point where my writing is more widely available!  You can now get  my work on Kindle . That means you can also gift my work to someone else on Kindle. Yes, it's still available  on Itch.io  and through  my ko-fi . Some people would prefer not to buy from Amazon, others will find it easier on Kindle, and I'm keeping options open.  You can also find those books on goodreads now! I'm working on getting in with their author program, but for now you can find my work on goodreads by searching for "LK Nesse". I admit I'm nervous about reviews. I don't think everyone would love my work. If that's what I was aiming for, I wouldn't be putting enchanted forest stories and American cinquain poems out there.

It's after 3:30 am, so I can tell you where I should be going, and that's to bed. Sleep isn't coming easily, though, I have a little cat friend curled up close to me, and I said in the beginning that I would likely use this blog to talk through things for myself more than anything else. Welcome to Me Talking to Myself!  I started Our Year of Dumpster Fire 2025 determined to finally make good on a promise I made to myself many years ago when I was in elementary school. Become an author! Which, okay...I guess I had already done that. I've written a lot of things over the years. But I meant an author who has books available for people to buy! The problem at the beginning of the year was that I was scared. Information about Amazon seemed overwhelming. Everything else looked even more overwhelming. There were a few options I read information about and didn't understand enough of it to know if I thought it would be overwhelming or not.  Let's not forget my dear friend...
