Why would any show (looking at you Loot) create an in-show advert with a website and NOT get the website?
For my novel I created a whole tiktok account just to tie in

2 agent noes came through today. Along with 2 deadlines hit, with silence.
Along with my other No, that leaves 6 agents left to hear from.
Will my duel timeline, queer crime mystery find an agent in this batch?
God I cannot put myself through self publishing again

“TikTok is just stupid videos that will rot your brain”
Oh really? Well maybe after reading about the state of the world, and everyone’s opinion on it, on Twitter and Bluesky every day, maybe I need stupid videos to soothe my anxiety! Ever thought of that you daft twunt?

Why anyone looks up to any celeb at this point is beyond me. You just don’t know when they’re gonna fail you. This is why I don’t do parasocial

@ryanthomasriddle.com did you see the SNW finale?

I think The Paper is ok but the reality of the camera crew does not hold up at all. Why do they have multiple shots but are not in the background of any shot? It’s “real life” they’re not doing the scene twice. Where were they in the car scene? Nothing makes sense

My issue with shows that are fake documentaries, is they have multiple camera positions but clearly only 1 single camera for the in-show crew. We never see the other camera and if it is only 1 camera, why are they doing multiple takes when it’s real life?
This can’t just be me?

Ok. That’s my first wave of 11 agents submitted to.
All agents I’d love to sign with including one in particularly who I may have gushed too much to in my query letter. Ooops.

Okay, wish me luck! Here I go again. Back in the agent query trenches.
I forgot how long this takes. Every single agent wants a different file format, file title, different things for the query letter. And if you don’t get these little things right, they’re not even gonna read my chapters.

Writing a pitch for a novel is not the easiest thing, but needs must and it’s almost query time.
I’m actually pretty happy with it, and it wasn’t as hard as last time.

To soothe my soul, and perhaps my adhd, I have ordered a large amount of American and Mexican sodas to enjoy this week, including Mexican Coke, real sugar Dr Pepper, orange cream Coke and Barq’s cream soda and red too (amongst many others)

I bloody love Strange New Worlds. The core of every single tv show ever made, is that it should be entertaining. And SNW does not fail to entertain. Every week. I hope they manage to sneak in another musical episode before the series finale.

Does another self-published author want to come to a sports game with me, and cuddle me on the kiss cam and then pull away fast and hide?
