i think this is a common for marginalized authors — but i wanted a story with characters who were like me and represented my community! cuz i’d never had that experience!
i ALSO wanted to brag about día de muertos, and i had a large preoccupation with the movie casper as a kid😂
Raise a glass, the scores are back! I completed my teacher education preparation program and I passed both my PRAXIS exams 😭 so I'm finally an officially licensed to teacher with a library media specialist endorsement. I did it. Salute!
This whole hockey x booktok thing-y is driving me crazy. Fictional men are just it. Fictional men. Learn some boundaries. Stop this embarrassment of making the hockey players read some spicy times in hockey romance. Stop sexually harassing and appropriating real ppl. Just stop.
I'll drop a book at whatever point I please, actually. Life is too short. As a reader, if the writing style is not grabbing me, I'm not going to push through it (unless you want to buy my editorial evaluation services). #booktwt
@Stacey_Dighton Passive voice in 3 person narrative. I don't need a grocery list. I need to believe the scenes. Expand, explain, emote. You need all three. I DNF so hard for lack of character development based on interactions.
@alechiadow FWIW, your feelings are valid, even when they hurt. Not necessarily correct but valid. Experiences can royally suck the joy out. Be safe, find a better landing spot. I'll keep promoting Sound of Stars for the genre bending elements. Just as feelings are valid, so is your talent.

@Mvfcarsenal@aardvark_ethel@ask_aubry My guess is mama convinced daddy that it's better to stick around to protect long-term over short-term anger. After all, Hana will need more corrective work on gaining confidence back. And daddy seems to be involved in building that. Daddy probably had to do the same for mama.
