Hey Payton! Just wondering: what do you use to make your graphics (aesthetics included)? I love them ❤️

amethystorm

@xo_ilovepuppies_xo aw no problem! 
            
            and i got into graphic design back in late 2016/early 2017. ive done video editing in the past but never much with photos. i joined google+ during this time and during my g+ years, i made friends that made aesthetics. it inspired me and i started to make my own as well. i started off small and they obviously weren’t that good, but i was very new to it. from there, i just kept expanding my knowledge. 
            
            and i guess the answer really depends. for some it’s harder, while other’s it’s easier. just keep practicing and try your best. use clear images, download fonts if you want a certain appeal, and use programs that work for you. it’s a skill that takes time to learn and tbh, i’m still learning too <3

@amethystorm Thank you SO much for this clarification!!! You’re the best ❤️❤️.
            
            What got you into graphic designing? When was this? Is graphic designing a difficult feat?

@xo_ilovepuppies_xo photoshop cc is money. actually, all forms of photoshop cost money, but the only free one is photoshop cs2. however, many pc’s and macs can’t support cs2 since it is outdated and will likely not run properly. if you have an old computer or laptop, photoshop cs2 might work. 
            
            both are really good. i used canva for a year and was still able to make graphics for myself and others that i liked. it really depends on what you’re looking for. if you’re just looking for something to get the job done or are a beginner to graphic designing, i suggest canva. if you want something more detail-oriented or professional, go with photoshop. 
            
            you also don’t HAVE to get photoshop cc just because it’s the newest form. all other versions are really good, just less updated & with different features. 
            
            hope this clears things up <3

Hey Payton! What’re you working on? ❤️

amethystorm

@distantimaginations glad to hear that you're looking forward to my book! i still don't know... i'm almost complete with the writing the first draft of the book, but i want to go through and edit every single chapter and then reread once more before i post. so basically it'll be a very edited, and polished, first draft. i want to give my best work possible to my first real novel on here so i'm just taking my time with it (:
            
            and for unannounced stuff: yeah i'd say that most of them are originals. they are mainly behind the scenes and are not given much attention but i have been slowly doing some basic outlining for it. it is very loosely drafted; just getting primary fundamentals established. i have no clue about the publishing date, but definitely not nearby. hopefully by the end of 2020 though <3

hi! i’m working on lots of things right now. i’ve been mainly tied up with tcfls, but have also been deliberately trying to finish mga (only two more chapters left! but its production is pretty slow right now). i’ve also been drafting and outlining upcoming stories that i haven’t announced yet!

Hey sorry, I have a TERRIBLE memory but were you the one with the story “Chasing Sand Castles”? I remember reading it and loving it lol. Sorry if this is annoying or weird.

Hi!! When will you publish chapters of “The Camp
          For Lost Souls”???? It’s been up for ages and you’ve been working on it forever!!

amethystorm

hello ^.^
            
            i’ve been working on tcfls for a long while because this is my first real story after taking such a long break from writing and i really want it to be good, so i’m putting a lot of work in it and it’s taking some time. i hope to start uploading chapters soon, but i really have no date as of now. initially, chapters were to be published in spring 2020, but now the due date may seep into summer. but again, i don’t want to rush myself because i want to give this story every ounce of my writing ability and beyond (:
