@AuthorTRobare Seriously, I get this. My ears get so stressed out they start ringing or I can hear the fluid in my ears crackling.

@hatewheel Try vicks on the back of your neck and a hot washcloth, or cold, whichever feels best.

@julianreads2 This one for one of my current wips. I actually discovered it during research and love it.

honestly, some books would be better if the author deleted the first 50 pages.

i don’t need 3 chapters of worldbuilding before anything happens.

i don’t need the main character’s entire childhood before i know why i should care about them.

and i definitely don’t need 17 characters introduced before i’ve learned to remember the first 4.

start the story. let me get attached. make me ask questions.

you can explain the world while i’m busy falling in love with it.

but maybe that’s just me.

how much setup is too much setup?

@MensHumor I get heartburn at the mere memory. I'm just not man enough to consume it without handfuls of napkins to soak up the grease.

@Meredith_author If I don't then I've failed 😭😅

@goodtimesatngt @HDunn_Writer I think they lower testosterone levels too, something about the chemicals used to make scented products I think is what I heard.

Nailed it! In short: "Respect the author. Respect their time. And above all, stop confusing genuine connections with potential sales opportunities."

Couldn't have said it better myself, and would have sworn profusely for the duration. 📚

@czljp @Utd_Valeria @Kamalfalilat We already know that Peter Jackson is a superior director. DUHHHH 🤦‍♀️

@Utd_Valeria @Kamalfalilat Weird they couldn't have found an actual half giant to play Hagrid. They probably didn't look very hard.

I found this interesting video while doing research.

If you are self-publishing on KDP, your book ideally needs to be exported as a reflowable epub (recommended) or one of the other formats KDP accepts.
Before you upload, you need to check it works properly on a Kindle device or app.
Amazon has a 'send to' feature where you can do this.
Don't lose reviews because you skip this vital step.
As a typesetter for indie authors, I always check everything looks perfect before I return the finished files to the customer.🤍

@HDunn_Writer My dad told me my teeth looked like corn on the cob and I was fat (I know now that I wasn't 😭🤣) 😭

@jimpatbal @RAWigger So.... you have a crush on Sean Connery? I can't say I blame you 😅

@AssassinPrieste 😭😭😭 golden showers 😭🤣

@markruffaloTD I think the development of the romance is the exciting part. When everything gets rushe I get bored with it.

@imranvoker0392 @winterrbear123 @Creator__247 You can be gushing and then not bleed for a couple of hours and then start gushing again. It isn't a continous, steady, light stream. Some questions should be embarrassing. Use Google next time, it's more "fashionable" than looking like an idiot.
