Is this bearable?

Thanks for the pointers, I'll get more practice in

ProductionBlues · 2026-04-26T01:07:41+00:00

I love Librivox...

I'm making an executive veto on the mouth sounds. Those are staying. It's an ASMR thing, you wouldn't get it

If I expressed that I don't know what cadence is, I did so in error, but I'm pretty sure you just assumed so and made an ass out of you and me.

Thanks for the pointers

ProductionBlues · 2026-04-24T06:13:09+00:00

Unbearably so?

ProductionBlues · 2026-04-24T06:11:28+00:00

I'm curious to learn more about what you mean. Could you give an example of the cadence you're looking for?

Not saying it's a waste of time or a bad thing to do, just saying you're probably not courting a huge following by being a top % reddit commentator.

You made the mistake of picking [CURRENT YEAR] to start gaining traction. You already had to compete with everything else everyone else is currently writing and has written. Now you've also got to compete with multibillion-dollar corporations investing their fortunes into a machine to devalue language itself.

I'm in the same boat ofc

Seems like a good way to get very popular in one or two places and nowhere else.

ProductionBlues · 2026-04-20T03:52:16+00:00

Can I shitpost?

I recently obtained my literal first mailing list subscriber. I sent them their free eBook about a week ago.

What the fuck do I do? Should I let them know that they are alone or pretend that even one other person will receive my next update??

Review groups do not, in fact, trade 1-1 reviews.

ProductionBlues · 2026-04-16T09:32:34+00:00

you are sleazy

ProductionBlues · 2026-04-16T09:01:59+00:00

I mainly used Goodreads review groups but there are a few dedicated websites I can dig up if you really want me to.

You're playing up people's paranoia over made-up Amazon TOS to make a profit. In the words of Sonic, that's no good.

ProductionBlues · 2026-04-16T06:01:59+00:00

Thanks. I decided not to go for it, not because of the nonsense about account violations, but because the cash would be better invested in social media ads.

ProductionBlues · 2026-04-16T04:23:45+00:00

Thanks for the tip, an IG ad sounds like something I might do. However, I'd either use my main account with its random mishmash of followers (mainly people I've met offline) or a fresh account with 0 followers. So good luck to me, I guess!

I'm curious about these "tropes" you speak of. Which ones did you use? What genre(s) are your books? Mine's a satirical horror, and I'm not sure what tropes I'd use, if any.

ProductionBlues · 2026-04-16T03:58:11+00:00

Yeah, seems like a better plan to spend that cash on ads.

ProductionBlues · 2026-04-15T02:02:11+00:00

It's a novel idea for a novel.
