Sweet and Sour Book 1 Is Published!!

 It's here! I have done it!! I published Sweet and Sour book 1!! You can find the book on Amazon, link right here!

My blood sweat and tears went into this book. Took me two years to draw it then took two more years to get it edited and published. I tried out the KDP Amazon self-publishing for I read it's free and also I know someone that introduce me to it. So I wanted to give it a shot. But all man was it hard!!

I got it on Ebooks just fine, it was a piece of cake for they provided something for that and it was smooth sailing. But for paperback they're like, "oh your all on your own," and I was like, "WHAT!"  and it took me months and months to figure out how to do it. 

First I had to figure out how to do PDF form. I looked up Youtube tutorials on google figuring out how to do a PDF form. And honestly, I had to give in and get Adobe for it seems to be the best way to do it. 

I then had to figure out how to format it correctly, apparently, I kept doing it wrong and had to do each page over and over and over again. I finally got it right and then I kept getting emails saying how I need to fix certain pages. It was so hard I almost gave up a few times because doing 205 pages over and over again was getting so tedious and rough. But I finally manage to press on because I was determined for if I couldn't publish this book I can't publish any other books. I couldn't draw my third book until I got this first book published.

I was thrilled when I got the email saying Congratulations! Your book is available on Amazon! EEEKKKK!!!! I was so thrilled!!! I bought some copies to show off that I got my first book published! 

And more will come! I already got the second book done, it just needs to be edited then I can have it be on its way for paperback and ebook. 

This will be the cover page of the second book of Sweet and Sour. My sister Kynsie has been a huge help in these books. She is the second author of these books but also the editor, her English is much better than mine. I have terrible grammar. 

Some of my family members have read it already, and it makes me so happy to hear that for love it, and it makes me so happy to hear that for one drew one of my characters and I adore it it's my first fan art o my book! And I hope more will come I would love more fan art of my book! As long it's appropriate. 

It's so exciting that I did it, I am fulfilling my dream to be a comic artist while being a momma. Sure it has been challenging, and I mean it has been challenging. But my dreams are coming true and I cannot wait to do more books! 

Books I want to do too.

5 Star Princesses 

Flower in the Dust

Gaining Altitude

Moon Princess

There's more than that, and I know this probably means nothing to you for you have no idea what any of these books are about. But they are stories that I adore and created over time since I was in middle school. I have been developing them to be better and cannot wait to get going on them!

Reflecting on 2021

 Wow, it's 2022!! That's so weird! Let's reflect on my year 2021.

Apparently, this is my first project for the year 2021. I wanted to create a better profile picture of my youtube channel. I have hardly been working on it lately, but it's still something I'm trying to do. You can check it out here. 

I've been mainly helping with this channel. Ebb And Flow Gamerz, I've been helping to do their videos, and I absolutely love it. please go subscribe to this channel it's so good! Click here.

I'm not a big fan of this painting, I could do better but maybe another time.

This is the first video they posted and I drew the animations and thumbnail. You must check it out click here!!

This is a very nice painting, I had a vision about this painting of how I am between heaven and earth swinging holding my kids (which if you look up close it's actually two giant eggs). But anyways it means a lot to me.

They are funny.

They are so good!

I was so thrilled with this series they did! please GO CHECK IT OUT!

Someone requested this painting, I only did the coloring and my friend Sara did the drawing.

Same here, a coloring request.

I started my new Tik Tok channel called Flanngy Drew, and it's been really successful and it's fun. Though also stressful for I have to dress up as this Flanngy Drew character to do tik toks and that's hard to do while being a single mom.

Never seen this show but I colored it for a request.

March 10 2021 I received the best news that made me cry for a long time. Happy tears for sure, I got a call from someone that told me that my divorce was finally finalized and I've been working on it for the past year so it was a happy moment for me. I felt free. FInally can move on with my life and date again! (Though dating sucks, it's not going so well for me).

Color request.

I got to participate in this video, please go check it out if you didn't already.

My sister made this incredible story and had a draw apart from it. But that's all I can say about this for it's not a published book but either way it is way good and do hope she will publish it someday.

My sisters and I did a music video for High Adventure! it was fun you can check it out on my channel.

another part from my sister's incredible book.

I've been going through therapy to help with the problems that I had after my marriage was done. And therapy did do incredible things to me, I feel so much better and even though I still have to do deal with my anxiety my life today is so much better than it was. This picture is me holding the dark self that I was suffering during my marriage but I am carrying myself because I am taking care of my old self. Free her. She is still beautiful, smart, and doing her best.

I'm telling ya, Ebb and FLow Gamerz, so good. Click here.

Tik Tok challenge. 

Another Tik Tok Challenge. 

My sister asked me to create a family portrait of my other sister's family as a birthday gift, and this started a personal business for me.

The movie Cruella is my favorite movie now. I absolutely loved it! 

Lindsey Stirling fan art

Walking on water with the savior painting.

Another family portrait to the sister that asked me to do the other one.

This is a possible story that I'll do in the future call Submerge Heart. I don't know when I'll get to it but I love this for the cover photo.

Therapy taught me about the happy place. So this is my happy place, a very pretty sunset and space on a green grass field.

In therapy, I keep seeing myself in this dark fog and I'm holding a golden rope. But theory is that I am walking in darkness but the rope is faith and I must hold on to it.

Color request.

Wow, it first comic of the year. 

Alastor Fan art.

My own family portrait.

Re-did my friend Sara's book covers.

Loud House character in my style

This was from a tik tok challenge and I love it so much! 

I saw a picture like this and wanted to try to remake it in my style during church.

My first family portrait request. it was so spiritual and awesome working with them I want to keep making these.

The longest painting I've ever done. 21 hours. all about me, my past, my dreams, my childhood, and who I think I am.

I put these pictures on t-shirts for our half marathon race. I only made it to ten miles but my other sisters did it and I'm proud of them, maybe this year I can do a half marathon.
