Now I've put my editing business on hiatus so I can focus on writing, I see there are a lot of people trying to sell me something.
Ouch.

Things that can drag you out of the story.
1. Calling well-known social media apps, "WatchTube" and "Picturegram."
Now I can't finish the book because I'm cringing too hard 😭

Today, I'm starting a new scene while trying to ignore the itch to fiddle with the previous ones.
Also started re-reading the whole Blades of Arris series.

On tonight's call you we decided that...
1. Self publishing encourages creativity.
2. Some self published authors are amazing 🤩
3. Some not so much 😔
4. Trad publishing takes time.
5. Form rejections suck.

It was the soft hiss of the lab doors that pulled Cal from his pain-filled stupor. He tried to move, but every nerve ending screamed in agony. Swallowing, he choked on the metallic taste of blood trickling down his throat.

I grew up reading sci-fi stories by people like John Brunner, Ray Bradbury, and Philip K. Dick so it's always been a dream of mine to write a sci-fi novel.

I really don't enjoy podcasts or YouTube channels on writing where the advice is super vague.
Just watched one on fantasy worldbuilding.
Number 4. "Plan your world before you start writing, but don't plan too much."

Why do romance writers have double standards for the FMC and MMC?
I'm so tired of seeing the love interest portrayed as a walking STD, while the FMC has only ever had one sexual partner.
Is it just me? Or do other readers get annoyed by this?
