Don’t scroll past this.
Reblog to let your followers know that they should never start cutting.
I know this website makes it seem like that shit is normal but trust me, it’s not. And once you start, you’ll never really start and it will haunt you for life.
It never gets easier, it never stops hurting, it isn’t (and will never be) “cool” or “the only way out”
Please don’t start. If you already are cutting, tell sometime and get help, it’s not as scary as it seems and you will be better off by it.
If even one person reads this… Please. You matter.
Don’t start.
Publishing for Fun and Profit
So there was a list going around tumblr for a while that made it to my dash of literary journals that accept open submissions (and will pay!), but upon inspection about half of them were closed indefinitely, and I found quite a few other places that looked interesting through further research, so I wanted to post my own list.
I tried to focus on things that paid professional grade (at least 6 cents per word), were friendly to speculative fiction, and specifically encouraged diversity and writing about marginalized groups.
(Please note that as of right now I have never submitted or been published with any of these, so if anyone has experience with them, good or bad, please feel free to message or reblog this with your experiences.)

Publishing Comics/Graphic Novels
Here is a list of potential comic companies and what kind of open submissions they accept.
Here is a list of literary agents who accept graphic novels.
There’s always that feeling with a new book. A feeling of wariness and prudence on the first few pages. The way the author writes and punctuates. The way the characters speak and interact. As if you’ve entered a world and wonder if you’ll like what you’ll find on this road.
“Will I like it? Will I put it down and attempt a few months later?”
It is a game of chance.
Then you keep reading, willing yourself not to give up on a new world so quickly; who knows what adventures and lessons you may come across? And you find that this world develops in your mind and it is the most beautiful thing you could have imagined. A sense of shock comes over you, the fact that you nearly missed out on this blossoming world and its people because you almost gave up too quickly due to its newness and contrast to what you were familiar with.
