I've got the sequel to my first novel coming out late november 🫑 I don't know if you've read A Searing Faith yet but maybe you are interested in epic fantasy with a female protagonist revolving around solving a mystery

(I don't have the finished cover yet but it's gonna be called A Blazing Bond)

Hmmm yeah maybe you're right πŸ€” but while we're at it, let's make it LuxBeSwi

You are very, very right. I'm happy to be part of the country with the biggest coast in our dear BeSwiLux.

Damn, did we get relocated to somewhere with a coast or are we now Switeerlurgians? πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€” (I vote for the coast)

Yeah that's true. I need to figure out how to get this into the hands of some beta readers before my release deadline ☠️ wanted to get the book out for a con at the end of november and idk if I'll be done with my rewrites before the end of september. Idk if a month is enough for beta readers :/

That's not a bad idea. I should make a list of what happens when in my first draft, I just don't think I have the time for it πŸ˜”

This post is sponsored by me completely rewriting the beginning of my book and not remembering what has already been revealed in book 1 or not

I think one of my new fears is that I'll rewrite scenes so much in a manuscript that I'll erase the point where characters learn a new information and then they magically already know stuff in later scenes and I won't even notice cause I'm the one who has all the info in my brain πŸ˜”

Ah yes understandable. I will keep your (non) agreement a secret between us

I half disagree, I think they're both important to the plot. Without the cold, you don't get the isolation. I see his point but I'd still put it a bit lower

Hmmm, I see it, a hot steamy interior wrapped in the cold embrace of the arctic

Just looked into his wikipedia page and what a life he's living! I thought the PhD had been before the Offspring's success but no it was in 2017 πŸ‘€ also he solo-flew around the world in 2004 😱 and he owns a hot sauce brand lmao

from those places and congregate in other parts of a country? Would the presence of a superhero gentrify places and make real estate prices rise? Or would it be the opposite because of damage to buildings?

I just think the wider impact of superheroes aren't explored enough in all the media we get

Do you ever think about how the presence of city-specific super heroes would change the landscape of a country? Would businesses prefer to be in cities/districts where superheroes operate? Would other districts see a negative impact if they don't have a superhero? Would crime naturally move away

I'll have to see how much local insects like those, I don't think they're native to western europe πŸ€” very pretty though!

One of the things I'm looking forward to the most about having my own house & garden is planting local flowers for all the butterflies & insectsπŸ₯°πŸ₯° I know nothing of gardening, I think if I had a vegetable garden everything would die, but I'm confident that I could make some local wildflowers survive

It's all subjective anyway, sometimes you just don't really vibe with the writing style even if you would like the plot and then the visual adaptation kind of gets rid of that

It's very, very fun!! I can't remember the book well enough to really tell what makes the difference but I think the show is definitely worth watching

Not to blaspheme but when I read the first Murderbot books I really wasn't that phased by it bit I've been watching the TV show and I adore it 😬

Maybe I need to give the books a second chance πŸ™ˆ

One of these is time sensitive, the other not at all. You already know which one my brain is hyper focused on ...

It's been 2.5 years since the first book came out, I'm so close to finishing it, I just need to sit down and do it 😭😭 but ... houses ...

I wish I could obsess over editing my book the way I'm obsessed over looking at houses I either can't afford or are already taken when I call the real estate agency πŸ˜”
