I know, right?
It's like the author didn't even go to America and experience all that for herself. It's like she read things out of a textbook and put a fictional story out for people to read. It's not good. You're supposed to talk to people and write what you experience.

My father, who LOVED Christmas to pieces, if he was alive today, he wouldn't stand for any of this. My dad would have wanted EVERYONE to have a present, and he did this every year, even when I was in my early 30s, until he died from cancer surgery related heart failure in 2020.
Kindness matters.

-I know how to do.
I've definitely hit a wall already, halfway through the month, and I know I should be taking care of myself, and I really need to be with people... But I need to give my muses a kick in the pants to get to work.

-My boyfriend Alexander says I'll have loads of time writing while he's away in Scotland next week through Thanksgiving, but I really need to get the ball rolling ahead of time. I hate waiting until the last minute. 30 days sometimes is not enough.

-Also, I've even heard of stories of Jane Austen retellings of sea monsters, zombies, and even Pride & Prejudice in Space! I've looked at these books, and now I see the market for them is fading.
That's why I want to write a different angle: Bridgerton in space!

-I really don't like stories about sparkly vampires that the story is way too campy and poorly written. You have to do your homework and do the reading. Talk to people. Also, vampires and supernatural stuff has been done to pieces, I've had to step away from it.

-like this author had never been to America and had no frame of firsthand reference to BDSM. I've actually been to Fetish Night at Club Orpheus in Baltimore before they shut down, so I actually could write about it, but I'd rather not. Same with Twilight books-

Same with Black Magic Door- especially if I have to go under water in the other realm to help poor Mabel get back home, or to the masquerade ball in NYC before the world is destroyed by an evil siren entity.
Doomed to the core.

-living with my mom after my dad passed away, and our families basically retreated, they don't know where we are, and because I live on Social Security, which didn't exist in 1820 in Marina's time, I'd basically be begging for food, or forced into an arranged marriage.
