I ask for prayers, good wishes, positive energy, etc as tomorrow I’ll be spending the weekend at children’s hospital with my little guy as he undergoes a huge procedure that will make life so easier and better for us all if it goes well. I kindly thank all who think of us ❤️

I’m very aware it’s extremely vital to a book being sold and the word spreading but does Any other indie author ever have a moment where they’re like “oh my sweet nuggets I’d rather braid water than self market this book” because you’re just not the best at it OR IS IT JUST ME?!

Very weird that the friends and family who say they’re going to buy and read your book never actually do it. Really strange to lie and act supportive when you’re not. Very very fake. Yikes.

Anyone else only get nice query rejections that tell you they “love the story idea” and “your writing is breathtaking” but yet still no takers. Like I feel in limbo? I’m not good enough but there’s no criticisms either to go off of

I love seeing authors share their sales. I love seeing my friends succeed and people buy their books. This toxicity of people being salty at people sharing their sales makes zero sense to me. You should be rooting for your fellow writers. it’s not a competition. Idk 🤷🏼♀️

Authors, writers, storytellers let’s debate: reusing character names from previous books, works, stories etc you wrote to use in a new WIP, yes or no?
Also hb using your name for a character but the you and the character have zero correlation, yes or no?

If you ask me my birth year and I say ‘93 don’t ask “1993?” Like you don’t know what I meant because I’m gonna be a wise ass and say “no 1793 right around the French Revolution.” And then it’s gonna be real tense.
