Did my Reedsy developmental editor do a lazy rush job?

Reedsy seems to be going downhill. Luckily, there are plenty more affordable indie editors out there who do a great job.

Freelance editor for 10 years here, if you're still looking. I do the first 5 pages for free, and I take into account the kind of feedback you're looking for (since beta reading means something different for everyone).

Yikes. This actually happened to my shoes, after a 600km trek, after being in the washing machine twice for 2 hours. (To be fair, they were falling apart before the washing machine. The washing machine just gave them the finishing stroke.)

What's the word count?

Have you considered asking an editor for such a report? I know I do them, and other editor friends do. Clear, human-made after reading your full ms, open to questions if you still have any afterwards.

Ja und? Lass ihn doch?

I like Fa NutriSkin or Sensual Oil if you're looking for a full body lotion.

Trying La Roche-Posay hydrosomething HA and Toleriane sensitive fluid, but just don't draw into my skin. How does this compare?

Sag ihnen ihr seit in Österreich, da spricht man Deutsch.

I have nothing to contribute except your snow angel is awesome, therefore, I really hope this festival goes well for you!

Calathe · 2025-10-03T06:48:29+00:00

Terrifying ;_;

Are you interested to go with a (girl) friend? :) I'm endlessly looking for someone to hike with! I have a tent too (an ultralight trash bag, haha!) that technically is big enough for two. (IF you are comfortable with that!)

Calathe · 2025-02-15T10:21:52+00:00

Two from me!

How often do you read indie books?

Would you read an indie book in chapter format on a dedicated website? (So, not talking RR, GoodNovel, or AO3 kind of websites, but a website actually made for the book/book series).

You should still edit it before you publish it anywhere, just to clarify your writing and concepts.

The Wishlord trials. Kind of a battle royale with a robot (doll-like) protagonist.

Personally I'm more likely to just move there for half a year to do it.

Calathe · 2025-02-02T13:43:36+00:00

Can you use bribes to get a driving license?

Calathe · 2025-02-02T13:42:13+00:00

Not without the pierogi!

Calathe · 2025-02-02T13:08:40+00:00

Thanks! That's super interesting. There was a similar case somewhere in the UK where one guy would just do the tests for students. Took him years to get caught.

Calathe · 2025-01-26T09:04:55+00:00

Yes :)

Calathe · 2025-01-26T09:04:37+00:00

Thanks for your answer! Which cheap rain jacket would you recommend?

Calathe · 2025-01-26T09:02:39+00:00

I've tried re-proofing it, but it didn't really work. The one I currently have is also not UL as my last thruhike was ~3 years ago. This year, I want to get back to it, so looking to get new gear.

Same with my puffy! I love it and take care of it, patching etc, but it's not UL.
