Because the editorial board clearly likes Trump?

As an indie author, I feel ya, but cold dropping a link in a popular author’s comments is bad form. You got to work with other authors on your level, maybe trade books so you can boost each other’s work. It’s hard out here, but you need to advertise in better ways.

I have no notes, just praise. Your arguments are spot-on.

This, combined with matters of taste being mistaken for quality issues, are my big cultural bugbears right now, especially in the book world. It’s a very insular way of looking at art and it drives me insane lol.

Oh, interesting! Yeah, it’s a double dose of “this is a woman’s thing” and “good women wouldn’t read such a thing”.

I also think there’s an issue where people have conflated comfort with morality, and “this thing makes me uncomfortable” becomes “this thing is bad”.

Me too. It’s like they’ve never heard of catharsis.

I quit my first run of FFX because I was getting everyone’s ultimate weapons before fighting Sin and realized I had not played a game of Blitzball aside from the required ones. I was so mad!

I still say this to myself, and it’s been decades since I saw the movie. Just a fun line to say in a Russian accent.

It‘s a little nerve wracking. I was worried about posting it this morning because I didn’t have as much of a chance to edit it this week, but c’est la vie. I can always edit it before it turns into an ebook.

*inexpensively, dammit. C’mon, autocorrect.

I’m challenging my need to pre-plan everything with the serial I’m posting. I’m planning on writing ahead, but for now I’m writing the chapter the same week I’m posting it so that I’m practicing getting my work out there.
