The problem is that I am *pretty* sure it actually does matter, and so need to spend all my time making sure everyone is accomplishing all their walking correctly, and preferably without using the word “walking” for the millionth time.

It’s okay, you write SFF, maybe bonus hands are like, subtle worldbuilding cues.

AND NO ONE EVER NOTICES THEM ANYWAY.

I laugh, but also know this is such a real thing, capable of driving anyone insane.

And by “things“ I mean “spatial change transitions within scenes.”

Coming back to repost this two years later, because some things truly never change for me.

Amazing, congratulations. 🤗

Ugh, that must have been stressful!

Most publishers (there are always exceptions) decide whether or not to buy a second book (or a third etc) based on how the previous book did. So when you pirate a book in most cases it’s less about the money you just stole from both author and publisher it’s about the future book you just killed.

Related: I feel like a lot of the piracy vs buying discourse (🤢 that this is even a thing) gets framed as stealing money from individual authors vs. stealing from faceless corporate publishers when for most authors it’s about whether or not they’ll get to publish another book.

This is actually wonderfully reassuring. ☺️ Thank you.

Hahaha, looks like more people have downloaded my book on this site alone than have actually purchased it according to my last royalty statement, hahahahahahahahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You are so nice. 😭 Thank you so very much!
