So I just heard about Gamma Readers from watching a Brandon Sanderson video. I guess there is a precedent for that. I might do a similar thing with The Widow’s Monster, because I’m already identifying some major changes I’ll be implementing

Someone tell kallmekris I wrote a bunch of 🌢️ in my dark oceanpunk fantasy book series. And I liked it.

I enjoyed doom a lot! Is that the last time we got the rock as a true villain?

PSA: the big spoon is not bigger than the other spoon when fitting two spoons together. I petition we change the language when spooning to β€œconcave forward” and β€œconvex transposed”. It would clear up this misnomer and remove potentially belittling terminology and power dynamics

Got really excited watching Octonauts, because I heard about coral slime and thought β€œthat’s perfect for a dark oceanpunk fantasy book series food.”

It’s not palatable πŸ˜‘β€¦

Screw it. Someone’s eating coral slime in the 4th book

Ooo, good question! Is there major plot stuff changed? I sent a few specific scenes to the same readers after I changed them, or just told them what I’d changed to see what I thought. Did you get feedback from an editor after the changes?

I think it’s time to do a reread of my innistrad art book for some tonal inspiration for my dark gothic romance WIP

I did it. I did the thing I never thought I’d do. I started an outline and plot work for a cozy, closed door, cosmic romance book πŸ‘€

Nice! I don’t really hear his name come up much when I hear dark or grim dark fantasy, but that’s good to know!. The size of his books is definitely intimidating πŸ˜‚

Blue Sky reader peeps, I need you to convince me why I should read Brandon Sanderson. I have mad respect for him, and I find his writing speed inspirational, as well as his worldbuilding tips, but I’ve never had an interest in his worlds. I read more dark, weird fantasies, and romance.

There’s a guy on TT named Temu Jellyroll, and that made laugh for a good 5 minutes
