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?

The writers and authors who leave disgustingly rude and unnecessary comments on posts bashing other writers and authors and their work for no reason is just red flag gross behavior

It’s the psychedelic summer of 1966. Shy Emmy crosses paths with charmingly handsome Roger, lead guitarist in a progressive rock band, instantly falling for him. Their romance is unlike any other, until Roger becomes addicted to drugs and their love is finally tested.

Alright friends I’m going to need opinions I’m still in the rough stages of cover art for my WW2 historical fiction novel About a German heiress who stops at nothing to save her Jewish friend during the war. It’s called “My Promise to You” Let me know your opinion. Be nice tho!🤣

As someone who for the first 18 years of my life had every report card read “Christina talks too much.” I managed to turn that into a writing career. So now I need someone to have me on their podcast because I will not stop talking and I promise I will make it fun. 🤣🤣
