I am a guy from Denmark who is dumb enough to think he is great at writing Fantasy Novels in English. I am still waiting for someone to tell me otherwise.
Oh my, please do go on Chatty McGPT.

I think I must be emotionally dead inside because every time I see one of those "I just killed a character I love. I am heartbroken 💔"
I am like why?
I don't understand those that revel in torturing their characters either.

Inside of there are two animals,

I really want to send my book out to readers and literary agents ( hi @psliterary.bsky.social)

But, I also know it's not ready yet.

Soooo How would you feel about me using the word Palantir as the title of an intelligence Agency leader from a magic ruled nation as an easter egg.

It's okay if you don't quite know what you've written actually is, right?

I was driving around thinking about my book when I realized that it ends perfectly in Chapter 30.
Even though I was 3k into chapter 31.

A weird way to cap off 8 years of writing the same book. But still my first draft is done.

Here's a question for the abyss.
When is a book tainted but AI?
Where's the line? like what If one write the book, read it makes notes feeds it all to an AI and asks to formulate an actionable plan for editing?

Genuinely curious, I can see use cases for AI helping in certain insurances

Should one query with the Prologue or the first chapter?

"You're basically writing "TaleSpin meets The Big Sleep in Middle-earth, with Batman's trauma psychology""

Not gonna lie feels somewhat apt.

Created something for a pitch event in X.

This is Among the broken.

- Character-driven story on a grand scale.

- Genrebending.

- Pseudo 30's fantasy world.

- Guns and Magic.

Not to toot my own horn

But I think I got something pretty fresh and unique in the fantasy genre

Fuck it. Toot Toot!

Look. This is rough, first drafty.

But I also kinda think it's good? Even though I borrowed a quote from Conan.

I think self-publishing is my only option in terms of my manuscript.

It's gonna be a huge red flag for agents.

Written as first in a series. Not quite standalone.

Rather long. Well above the word count that's comfortable for even epic fantasy.

What's worse when querying:
1. a manuscript that's has a 200k+ word count

2. one that has a cliffhanger ending and is a part of a series?

Writers who should I follow what #, should I look into if I wanna chat with other writers and literary agents. And find pitch events etc.

X is a cesspool of scammers and bots hawking their services in DMs.

Someone just described My wip as "If Shane Black wrote Urban fantasy."

Is there something like post-war fantasy?

Kinda like Hemingway-ish with magic?

Have you ever written one thing like in terms of intent and genre, and then realized you are actually writing something else?

Share your experience.
