Thinking about the transition from writer to author. Definition-wise, as soon as you finish a piece of work, you're an author, but I feel uncomfortable putting myself in that bracket. Is there a certain point you can consider yourself an author?

One of the worst habits I see as a beta reader is when writers don't make anything bad happen to their characters. It's fine for low stakes / feel good stuff, but how are characters supposed to grow if they don't FAIL?

Also, it makes the story boring as anything.

For readers who grew up on middle-grade books like Percy Jackson and are ready for something with an older feel.

Everyone thinks it's:

WRITE BOOK > GET PUBLISHED

2.5 Years later, I can tell you, it's actually:

Write Book > A-Read > EDIT > B-Read > EDIT > Query > Rejections > Delete Manuscript > do full re-write > Repeat Process > Get Agent > HOPE to get Published at some point

...Yeah. That's where I'm at

Someone told me that most people skip reading fight scenes in books. Is that true? If so, it finally explains those people on tiktok who are on their 150th book of the year.

To anyone who needs to hear it... Your first book might not be the one that breaks records - it might not even be one that sees the light of day

but it will teach you how to write a kickass second.

Thinking about the time a bunch of people volunteered to Beta Read my YA Fantasy manuscript, and the ones I sent it to ALL GHOSTED ME. My faith in people took a hit that day, so I decided to do it all myself... GUESS WHO JUST GOT AN OFFER OF REP, MUTHAFUDGERSSSS.
