I was looking for more descriptive description of what the story is about. https://i.imgur.com/Bh1Npjq.jpg

Congrats!!
I've been struggling to finish my book. Started it during mid COVID.
Haven't touched in around 2 months.
While reading it, I was unhappy with a lot of the story, so I deleted almost 100 pages..
From 27 chapters done. Now 15 chapter..
I made a mistake deleting it all, and cannot find them anymore.
Writing is harder and honestly tiresome. I enjoy the hell out of it. Just demoralized, I'll get back into it, hopefully, soon

It was written for those who love writers like Dickens and I appreciate your thoughtful words. Though what I wrote further up about Still Morrow is not a summary, it’s an excerpt from the book.

I wasn’t implying you thought it was a crazy question, more so just saying it’s an interesting question in general beyond its comedic take.
Not sure if I’ll read it as it may not be my ‘cup of tea’ but I’ll for sure look it up! Happy for you!

Thank you so much, it really does mean a lot that people see I worked really really hard and not to mention, it gets lonely being a writer. Not many who have the patience to share your work with regularly.

I agree, I mean I hate to be a spoilsport and I’m happy for him, but it seems unnecessarily overly complicated.

Great Job! The focus it takes to get even the first draft written is amazing, not to mention the rewrites. You should be very proud!

I think the same about the excerpt he wrote further up. It's unnecessarily verbose, so much that it really restricts the flow. He does say it's like that the entire time, which would turn me off immediately, but I am probably not the target audience. Good luck in either case!

I was on a vape for a few years and quit the beginning of this year. The first month was rough. Second not as bad. Try to honestly track your frustration levels and watch for things that make them go up and down once you quit. Stay curious about it. You control it, you'll learn you always did. I came back to it yesterday and my vape smells like a dry erase marker and my whole body now rejects the idea of nicotine.

My friend started cigs around the same time I started vaping, he has a smokers cough and I don't, if that means anything to you. Also I can vape anywhere and not worry about the smell becoming part of the room or vehicle

Is this a sequel? Where's the first sun book? Great job by the way and congrats 😊

I love this sort of thinking until it goes too far. This is where people get the idea of pulling ones self up by their boot straps. Adversity is good, struggle is good, in a healthy balance. A hurricane is going to completely fuck anything in its path up. Doesn’t matter how strong the tree, or the boat, or the people on the boat.

Simon and schuster were purchased by Harper Collins and those who retail their product are often dying. though some bookstores do thrive, I find it to be rare. Media distributed directly to an audience from the source is the future. Like we’re seeing with video games and other media content, the bloom of indie content people discover some has a great deal of cultural value. This is only simulated in a traditional publisher’s boardroom.

I wrote the whole book, 162,000 words and had to rewrite the entire thing because I had basically only written notes
