It's worth my support just for the name alone πŸ˜…

I'd rather have mid recipes as long as the site doesn't make me want to smash my phone

Is there a recipe app that will show just the recipes, and not 12 scrolled pages worth of ads and the backstory on the ingredients just for the sake of SEO?

I needed this pep talk, because I went through like 8 rounds of editing and revisions on Book 1, but Book 2 felt so much tighter, and I knew where the story was headed and all the things I needed to do. Book 2 feels like a darn good draft!

Pitch - Freshly kicked out of his band, punk barista Josh Keller crash‑lands in a cursed video game world ruled by an authoritarian Dragon King. Armed with two misfit coworkers, a long-lost princess, and a heart he swears he doesn’t have, he’s only got one shot to save a doomed realm. 
Saving the world is hard. Saving yourself is the real boss fight.

Haha thanks! πŸ˜… We're in third person limited, but close enough to the main character's POV that we see the world through his scene kid lens.

For instance, when he meets a new person, he usually thinks they look like Iggy Pop, Fat Mike from NOFX, the drummer from Dead Kennedys, etc.

This is book 1 specifically, but book 2 goes very similar.

I have found family themes (both literal and non-literal) and wormhole transport to some extent. Great minds think alike!

What's crazy is, our stories are probably wildly different! That's what's so amazing about books.
