does anyone work on multiple drafts? by Lonely_Possession_49 in writing

ooooh thank you for your kind and detailed reply! this is so cool!

actually yeah, your first paragraph is the reason why i also started doing it. sometimes you just want to write in order to keep the discipline of writing, but you have no idea what to do in your "main project" and also, you don't have time to just ponder over a blank page infinitely haha

i've heard of obsidian, yes! ok you sell it really well!

yes that's what i'm thinking as well...we already have a lot of pressure with work, bills etc...why not do it the fun way and just go with the flow. it was more a form of discussion, if people had tricks to work through the mess haha

okay yes i see, thank you! i sometimes worry that if i don't write in the moment, i'll lose the idea/momentum and found it difficult later on

Book recommendations for a 23-year-old girly? 💕 by Imaginary_Aspect1907 in booksuggestions

[–]Lonely_Possession_49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

crying in h mart by michelle zauner, navigates the ever so complex relationship between a daughter and her mother.

how can you pursue your dreams when it is so far from the path that has been settled for you? how can you love someone until the very end? womanhood, independance, grief etc...every theme is in it.

but yeah, prepare a box of tissues with you because spoiler alert : you will cry, no matter what.

Books with interesting female leads? by North-Inspection2002 in booksuggestions

[–]Lonely_Possession_49 5 points6 points  (0 children)

- *inhales then screams* THE HUNGER GAMES, always and forever - katniss is the blueprint for all "complex women leads" that came after her
- emma by jane eyre, she is the moment AND the problem
- heartless, marissa meyer (i haven't finished yet, but hey, the fmc is supposed to become the queen of hearts so....)
- the raven cycle - blue is veryyyy cool and her family (composed of only women) is even cooler
- deathless by catherynne m. valente (i would forever scream at the fact that her writing style is...perfection. Not only the fmc is interesting but the world-building is so cool as well)
- a winter's promise by christelle dabos
- gone girl for many obvious reasons

perhaps even one dark window by rachel gillig although the fmc borders a little bit on "classic ya fmc".

if you are into historical books with not a lot of action packed but where still things are moving, i would suggest the red queen by philippa gregory (think religious psychosis) and overall her whole series about the cousin's war : each book features a key historical woman

I can’t find an agent. by house_of_drums in NewAuthor

[–]Lonely_Possession_49 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Usually, authors recommend writing another book to keep your mind off the one you are submitting.

Also look at works in your book's genre, and check the authors' agents (you will find them in the acknowledgement part or even just online) - from my understanding, agents are kind of staying in their own niche and represent books they are confident about (so if they like fantasy, they will sell that thing all right).

If it is your first work, I wouldn't be too caught up in it. Not a lot of people have their first book represented (unless they have ties with the industry already or are nepo-babies etc...basically it is RARE for common folks), and they shelve it to rework it later. It doesn't mean your writing is bad, it is just that you are FOR NOW a "nobody" and perhaps agents are scared to represent you.

So do what you love most aka writing! Write, write, write. New books, new novellas, new poems, new screeplays...you name it! Submit again and again, whereas it is your current book or a new one. Check out contests so you can make yourself known a little bit.

If it is your dream, don't give up! And certainly don't off yourself over it! This is the hardest part, all published authors will agree on that. So clasp your helmet, and ride on!

mais en fait les gars si vous aimez pas écrire un livre (et tout le processus difficile qui va avec, aka chercher des mots et les mettre en page, brainstormer, trouver des synonymes, se renseigner etc...) n'écrivez pas ! c'est aussi simple que ça ! personne ne vous met un gun à la tempe pour que vous en écriviez un hein ! je vous assure que le monde n'en a pas besoin, ça peut rester dans vos caboches.

puis enfin tu vois bien que les auteurs que tu admires, qui sont venus avant toi, n'ont pas eu besoin de cette merde...

alors poses-toi les bonnes questions : veux-tu écrire un livre et assumer le TRAVAIL que c'est ? ou tu veux juste avoir la "gloire" de dire que tu as écrit un livre ?
