“Commanded comfort destroyed her” really resonates with me, both as a mother AND a mother destroyer (participating in the destruction of the planet)

No, I typically use Adobe Express, and edit stock photos that I think fit with the piece. Occasionally I'll use original art work, if I have something that works well with the theme.

High praise! <3

I'm digging into your new chapter today and I'm very excited! I also want to pick your brain about outlining a novel!
