Vielleicht findet ja eine Verlags-Person, das ist eine gute Basis für eine Autorenbio, und erinnert sich dann, wenn soon(tm) meine Exposés etc eintrudeln...

Müsste es nicht einen Kulturfond oder so geben für Autor*innen, die nach traumatischer Kindheit und Jugend und dann lebenslanger psychiatrischer Erkrankung und Behinderung doch noch mitte 40 anfangen, aus ihrem Trauma heraus Bücher zu schreiben?

Asking for a friend"

Not for the novela, but for the novel afterwards I'll for sure have to talk to a sex worker and I'd absolutely want to pay them for the time, but it wouldn't fall into a category for the usual hourly rates.

Hey more experienced writer friends! What is an acceptable rate to offer for an interview with a professional for novel research?

Why do I have to be an adult

Wrong answers only

Original sin

of course you're not self-absorbed for hoping something you put lots of effort into is liked by others. You created it. Your brain produced that glorious sauce. That is no small thing. Got, fucko? It also doesn't invalidate your efforts if it doesn't magically pop off either. Keep swinging that axe.

I'm trying to get my handle to be patrick (at) my soon to exist author website. I think only the handle changes but I actually don't know

somewhere there is a post from @nocheinautor.bsky.social about auto blocking accounts with the check mark thingy and own handle. And I'm looking very concerned at my todo list for this week... /lh

ah. I asked because for me as a reader, it can lead to a subgenre frenzy. That's how I read like 10 or 12 books a couple of years ago with "non-male serial killer first person narrator" trying to find better execution (no pun intended) of a dissapointing read.

are you reading more books of the same sub genres after a bad one? Or what does the spite lead to for your reading?

totally agree. books that are close to my own themes and topics and are great (eg CM Rosen's The Crows) motivate me to become a better writer, work on my craft ect. Books like that but bad help with productivity. xd

*interested*

And yeah, for me, it's really what's close to my themes. In both directions. Books that don't work imo but which *should* hit all my deepest brain buttons out of spite, and books like the crows by CM Rosen, that did what I try to do but better as motivation to work on my craft.

I have to admit that most of "Part Time Girl" was written to spite all the terrible, misogynistic, sex-swap movies I'd been subjected to growing up 😡

(There were a few good ones, and there's a lot more now, but the bad ones scarred me ☹️)

I like that people spite write as I spite read 😂

The first ~25k of my first published web serial (Frameshift) was pure unadulterated spite-driven writing, which didn't improve it as an act of craft over what I'd been working on before but did get me to write 25k words in like a week and actually publish it.

Spite can work, and that rules.

This is obviously correct. Read brought, read a lot.

But I admit that spite can be an excellent motivator for me and that includes reading books and getting angry enough they wasted a good idea for bad writing, it drives me to write even more try-hard.

Soon (praying for even sooner) the publishing(tm) will begin, so this was my last chance to change my pen name. And I took it.

Jic your wondering about the new name next to the pfp

Mitbewohner (Roommate/s) is a novel idea that is too hard to explain to be my first real attempt to find a publisher for something beyond short stories.

So first the novela that I love equally but is way easier to pitch.

Thank you!

Epilog steht. Zwei letzte Kapitel - ein großes Finale - sind noch übrig. My god. 😭

Ich kann nun absehen, nach 3 Jahren on-off-schreiben, dass #DieHeldenSindTot fertig wird. Es wird immer aufwühlender, je näher ich diesem Punkt komme.

Wehren wir uns noch einmal gegen das Ende, liebste Figuren.
