I write danmei-inspired MM novels, focused on second chances. F*ck-Up's Guide to Falling in Love is available at Blue Cypress Books, Amazon, & https://cypruitt.com/novels/ Wake is available at Chrysanthemum Garden, and the next is loading~
Ah, it's been months since I really had a clear plate for a new story. It's refreshing and overwhelming, all at once.
...Now, to turn an undead bus driver into a desireable male lead, haha. Does it help that he's good with kids?

"He needs to be extra-perfect. The best he can be, good enough that he won’t end up in one of those scenes where the parents throw a check and demand the lover leave." -GTF V2

"Wei Qing even sorts his bathroom cupboards, which are a graveyard of half-finished bottles of indeterminate origin, courtesy of a brief compulsion to buy beauty products in an effort to transform into a different person entirely." -GTF, Vol2

To be more serious though, I agree with you. I think ads don't really make sense until I get the third one out, but it's probably a good exercise to try to learn to SM now.
Even if it's in fits and starts, even if it doesn't work, it's probably good to try to loosen my nerves.
Dear Boss:
Thank you for buying my book. Please don't actually read it. That being said, may I have a raise? Not necessarily based on my work, but for the sake of my novels, which, as you know, are my children.
...Honestly, he'd probably go for it. 😅
The MC is the cause of all his own problems, ML should resign, how can you have rebirth in a modern setting? ALSO WHY ARE THEY GAY??? ⭐
See, that's the danger. I'm def. reading threads about not worrying about marketing until you've got 3+ in your series, and I'm using that as an excuse to hide in a hole, which is wonderful for hermitage but less than ideal for connecting with readers, heh.
"Finally. It makes his head pound and his throat tighten like he’s on a rollercoaster and is just now realizing that he has no control over the ascent…or the drop. A stress reaction, Dr. Maki would probably call it." -GTF Vol2

The hardest thing about self-publishing is talking to other people about it-- marketing and selling feels so strange, I'm not sure how other's manage. Advice? #writingcommunity
Despite a terrible week, I did it! 😭😭😭
Guide to Falling Volume 1 is officially available in eBook and paperback. Links are here (cypruitt.com/novels/) & if anyone's interested, and you can sample on Amazon or chrysanthemumgarden.com 🙏

He doesn’t want to stick his fingers into the bullet holes in his soul. He isn’t ready to fish out lead, even if it’s good for his treatment.

"The only danger to Wei Qing was Wei Qing. Like. Fucking. Always.
Yue Fei’s relief is replaced with anger, annoyance, frustration-- a million negative emotions that he cannot vent, because Wei Qing is his master and he is the help..."

Hello world! I've been writing as Nate Nox, but there's another author with that name, so in honor of my dad, I'm now Cy Pruitt. Please take care of me!
New name, new platform, & new format for "F*ck-Up's Guide to Falling in Love" available in Nov 2024.

I'm editing for publication and it's surprisingly fun! Moving from serialization to traditional print is letting me revisit my characters and tighten things up in a way that's very rewarding and I think will help with future work. 🥰
I was ready to comfort you, but all your covers look so amazing and now I feel I should comfort myself, haha. 🤩
