So... yeah. I knew that whole place (iykyk) was run by clowns, but I didn't know it was this rotten.

Behold, if you will, the...astonishing...contract from Shadow Light Press. A rolling 10-year term...payment on profit (but only after costs are recouped)...appropriation of the author's universe if they can't continue the series...and more www.reddit.com/r/Progressio...

For anyone who doesn't know enough about tradpub, this is (at best) a waste of money. Any "package" they might offer won't help you get agent rep. Especially if (like me) you write in a nice that's not trad friendly.

Of all the scam emails I get (there are many), this one baffles me the most. What's the end game here? Do you, Scammer, think I don't know how Goodreads works, or how easy it is to find my work there?

Chair arrived today. It's the first high-end ergo chair I've ever owned.
It feels like every last penny I paid for it.

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

Plotting a novel is a fantastic exercise in creativity. Seeing a problem, coming up with a clever (and surprising) solution, and realizing you've set yourself up for something cool as hell.
Makes me excited to get into the meat of actually writing it.

It's always a nice feeling going over edits and realizing that, yes, I am in fact a fairly decent writer.

I'm a writer. So probably something along the lines of "oh, so you work at Starbucks?"
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

I've seen these kinds of shows. All I can say is woof, gimme.
I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen
