Yeah, about those books. · 12:49am Oct 7th, 2019
The publisher fucked them up. The back cover belongs to another book entirely. You can actually see it in the photo I posted if you look closely enough. My book is about a pagan vampire god, not about some guy and his dog. 
So part 1. of this blog post, I guess I have discounted books for people. $8 with free shipping if you're in the USA. You can just paypal that to spark.costumes@gmail.com (be sure to check the tickybox for shipping needed so it'll include your address, and also include if you want any inscription or, I dunno, lewd doodle or whatever along with my signature.)
If you want the correct-cover version, you can let me know and I'll order more, or you can skip getting a signed copy and just buy direct from JMS Books.
Part 2. is me bitching that everything seems to be going wrong with my writing lately. My commissions are stuck and backed up and not going well at all, nobody gives a shit about my fanfic other than like three people who want me to finish Honey Pie (also stuck, and one of them was a real dick about it), my patreon gets smaller every time I look at it, and my "real" books are barely selling at all and when finally something good happens with my getting a paperback out, it has to get fucked up like this.
I am feeling completely nihilistic about writing just now. It's futile, it's pointless, and it will never amount to anything. I have no idea why I still bother doing it, except I guess I'm insane. 
Bleh. Trying to be creative is fucking depressing.
Wow that's... Really unfortunate. It happens more often than people realize. I once saw a fantasy book that had made it to a major bookstore with the title misspelled on the spine. I was amazed it shipped out and no one caught it.

If I was famous, they'd be valuable, collectible misprints. Alas...
That's a real shame.

Rarluna story was a good read
Luna in the sky of diamonds and falling moon was great as well
Don’t lose sight of why you write.
Yes, all of the above is true. Publishers screw up a lot; one friend had all of his covers put on back to front, and another had hers printed with all first draft copy, all of the edits missed out.
Yep, people who ignore your stories suck, and those who do read them are great but can be pushy. It is hard, and it hurts, and it develops illnesses you had no idea were inside you. But that’s not why you write.
You write because you believe in your characters, you want them to breathe and live and, yes, inspire others, but inspire you more.
Don’t let this site do to you what it does to too many amazing writers. Don’t let the views, the dislikes, even the comments eat at you. Don’t let it clip your wings or push you down. Instead, remember why you wrote in the first place and why you started each story.
You’re strongly talented and you’ve already proven that. Go back to how it first felt when you had the ideas you now write and publish and harness that. Don’t write because you must, write because it’s what you want to do.
I hope this funk your in shifts swiftly, and wish you all good things.

I'm so sorry that happened to you!
Real nihilism is understanding that nothing you do matters and then doing stuff anyways. Because most of the reasons not to are actually based on wanting your actions to matter.
