haha, yes. I know it's not in your favour to add extra flavour to your dialogue, like when you talk to your neighbours about the labour of spelling which might not be in your favour. Yet on the plus side your spelling is shorter.

I want to know EVERYTHING about your work.
But let's start with your #protagonist
Who are they?
What makes them interesting?
What do they dream of?
Who do they love? Who do they hate? And what for?

Like much of the rest of the established media they are cowards.

But there is a reason for that too: a lot of dumb kids have pretended to be smart, causing other kids to get confused about who is actually smart. Meanwhile these kids are searching for meaning in life. Not in a purpose-driven way, but in a selfish, life is all about me-kinda way.

In other words: dumb kids don't Trust smart kids. That is American democracy in a nutshell right now.

Democracy is like those group projects at school: If there is an overwhelming amount of incompetence, but those who are incompetent are aware of it and therefore lets the smart kid do it, things will be fine. If they are not aware and actually want to help, they rebel when it gets complicated.

As you are likely well aware of, having been in the industry for many years, there are an entire host of people out there claiming to be all sorts of things to scalp writers from their work in one way or the other. So my apologies for being persistent. It doesn't really say much about credentials?

I did. This is what your Home page says: Home
This is an example of a page. Unlike posts, which are displayed on your blogโs front page in the order theyโre published, pages are better suited for more timeless content that you want to be easily accessible, like your About or Contact information etc.

I would strongly advise against querying a literary agency that has no about page, no profile picture of agents, no presence online apart from a website. Why should any author trust you?

Poor writing... You hate to see it. I have not played the game myself, so I have no opinion myself about the game. But in general, if you cheap out on writers no amount of graphics or gameplay can compensate.

So yes it covers all tyrants as a concept
15.06.2025 15:35 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0
I think it is a nominativ singular, so the meaning is universal. We say "with" tyranny in english, but in Latin they don't. Also the "est" is implied, meaning it is nominativ and not dativ as in english.

Been BORED for at least 50 pages now. Seems more a book about domestic trouble than anything remotely fantasty-related.
This should just have stopped at book three I think. But I will finish it regardless.

Are attention spans too eroded to read long, slow, mood-setting chapter 1's, where you get to know the protagonist?
What do you think? #booksky

I call it "white people-leftovers" when a black actor is cast as a black version of a character a white person once played.
Instead of treating black actors like rage-bait, why not, oh, I don't know: WRITE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS FOR BLACK PEOPLE!!??
John Boyega is a prime example.

Love magnolias. Magnolias are so old a species, they were around before bees, so they were pollinated by scarabs and other such insects. Looks beautiful.

Those things ebbe and flow. An agent who likes it will bet on it regardless of trends,I hope. Or else we are all doomed ๐
