@judahmahay Love posts like this! I struggle finding writers and readers these days on X. The algorithm throws at me all the things I’m trying to avoid! Popping my blurb below incase anyone is interested!

I’m genuinely working two jobs at the minute. My day job is pretty full on. And by night/weekends I’m putting another 3-4 hours a day into self-publishing. I’m skipping no corners! Yesterday I was working with a cover design artist. Today I’m building a website. It’s tough.

@nick__whip @metalgearsa1ad I mean that last episode in particular was painful watching 😅 but I thought season 2 was a big improvement.

@metalgearsa1ad In a perfect world I think that’s what everyone would’ve wanted. But actors scheduling, set hire, production costs etc would’ve made this impossible almost.

RT @monteroauthor: Shameless self-promotion. If you would like to read THE CRIMSON FIRE before the official release, you will find the link…

@coffeenfantasy @robinhobb I had the same experience with this book. I put it off for 20 years! WHY?! Unbelievable book!

@WhitecloaksO @TheWheelOfTime @TGAuthor I disagree with you on the first point. The book goes back to the braid again and again, especially when she combs out the braid later on.

@WhitecloaksO @TheWheelOfTime @TGAuthor Again I feel there is a difference between a young adult and someone who has just passed into young adulthood. Jordan thought it important enough to mention Egwene’s newly earned braid, so why shouldn’t the show?

@WhitecloaksO @TheWheelOfTime @TGAuthor Rand is 19, and Egwene is 2 years younger. So they’ve aged her up a couple of years. There’s a difference between a 19 year old woman and a 25-26 year old.

@WhitecloaksO @TheWheelOfTime @TGAuthor Well no. They’ve aged them up to late teens (18/19). The actress playing Egwene was 25/26 in the first season.

@WhitecloaksO @TheWheelOfTime @TGAuthor I should remember this because I’ve not long re-watched it, but wouldn’t this have been her very first scene. So it would’ve been introducing her, whilst telling us a fair bit (young girl coming to womanhood etc).

@WhitecloaksO @TheWheelOfTime @TGAuthor I appreciate that, and no one would’ve loved my Tam fighting trolloc time more than I, but Egwene, as one of the main characters, also needed some time to be developed. Whereas we weren’t going to see Tam again for the best part of 2 seasons.

@WhitecloaksO @TheWheelOfTime @TGAuthor I don’t see the harm in the show depicting a sort of ceremony into womanhood.

@WhitecloaksO @TheWheelOfTime @TGAuthor Like I said, I’d have happily dropped the river scene in place of this. Doesn’t the whole “women’s circle business” plot lean into the point you made to me the other day around the main theme of the books is men and women working together?
