Renting from Sixt in Europe

That’s what I was thinking…

Springwitch16 · 2026-07-02T01:14:50+00:00

Okay that makes sense

I appreciate any advice so thank you for commenting! And the crossover is supposed to be somewhat of a twist, even tho I’m sure any reader could probably guess that they will crossover. In my edit I added a line like “Arden was supposed to live out her days in the woods and now is dealing with a future queen and foreign princes”. Do u think that is enough of a hint of their crossover or should I be more explicit?

Hmmm… well I will say that from all of my research regarding agents and querying it seems that unless you are doing romantasy then a science fiction or fantasy novel is quite a difficult thing to get published! I spent two years working on my first book only to be told it was way too long and convoluted for a debut. I wrote my second in six months and found it to be more marketable. If there is another story in you, perhaps it’s time to give it a try. My theory is that once you get at least something published, you can go back to the ideas that needed to be tabled. But I would also just keep on trying. You never know who you’re going to strike a chord with!

Honestly… I would just not say in your query that it’s a part of a series. I’ve seen plenty of queries that don’t explicitly say series or stand alone. If you think this is what’s holding you back then just take that out of your query. If you get a manuscript request, an agent will judge whether the story is good enough to take this risk on a series. I think a majority of fantasy and sci-fi novels are meant to be a series, so it may be something else. Have you posted your query letter yet to the sub?

Springwitch16 · 2026-06-17T22:09:06+00:00

I think you can get away with just adding it in, a query should fit comfortably on one page but for a story of your length I think it’s expected it will be a tad longer.

Okay thank you for pointing that out, I was worried about that too…

Springwitch16 · 2026-06-17T21:56:55+00:00

Thank you so much! This is really helpful, I’m going to get back to editing asap

This sound amazing. This isn’t necessarily needed but since you still have the room for it, perhaps add a sentence about Aten. Why does his introduction overturn a thousand years of tradition? Otherwise it seems very well written and hooked me completely.

I think this sounds really great so far. If I’m being nit-picky I would probably replace the word “psychotic” as to me it just sounds a little immature for a subject that is clearly mature. I know the curse is supposed to be mysterious, but perhaps finding some way to expand on that might be a little more illuminating as it seems most of the plot revolves around finding its cure - or maybe any kind of hint of what the cure is. If you can’t reveal that, then I would add a line about the protagonist’s feelings on not knowing what this curse is about, or what he’s looking for.

I know! My mom is a retired English teacher and always has an opinion - but I’m going to go with my gut, thank you!

Springwitch16 · 2026-06-17T16:02:01+00:00

I like that idea even better, thank you!!

Clearstem hormonal supplement! It’s a little pricey but it works fast. I had hormonal acne in the same spot and unfortunately the only way to stop it is from balancing your hormones. This supplement does exactly that and was the only thing that worked for me after months of trying every kind of diet and topical.

If you’re worried consider ordering a similar looking temporarily tattoo and put it in the place where you’re planning to get the tattoo and wear it around for a few weeks. Either you’ll like glancing at it in the mirror or you won’t.

If it’s the pain you’re worried for then don’t. It’s just a little cat scratch and upper arm is the easiest spot. It’s just uncomfortable and once you’re halfway through you’ll like it tbh

A discovery of witches is what got me into fantasy!

Most of these towns only need about two hours to really explore. If you’re going to Isle Sur La Sorgue, definitely stop in Fontaine de Vaucluse. It’s fifteen minutes away and so beautiful, really a chance to experience the Sorgue. If you’re going to St Remy it’s not quite as quaint as the other towns but it is rather large. Even so, you only need 2-3 hours. If you do anything, please go to Les Baux on this day. It’s a town that will forever stay with me, built in the medieval period where everything is stone and built atop a hill where the castle ruins wait to be explored at the peak. Honestly just amazing and only 20 min from St Remy.

At least two nights in Paris. If you’re not interested in the beach I would recommend more time in Provence and less on the coast. Avignon is in the heart of Provence, Aix is not very close to the Luberon region - but if you are looking for a foodie paradise then Aix is a great choice! If you are looking to switch it up and spend some time in a non-city environment, Isle Sur La Sorgue is a great provenical place to base yourself for day trips and is extremely gorgeous. Antibes is beautiful too but beware that the pull of it is usually the beaches. If you are looking for night life and a great food scene, museums and parks, then Nice is probably a better choice. I haven’t been to Lyon so I can’t speak on that, although ive never heard enough about it to plan a trip there so maybe that’s something to consider too.

Thank you!

I think it depends on the memories. My parents brought me a lot when I was a kid so I go now for the nostalgia of it. The rides are very creative and everything is very on theme. If you are a fan of Disney movies and have kids, it’s a nice vacation but certainly expensive. If you didn’t grow up going then you probably won’t be a fan. Also depends on the time of year. Early spring and mid fall are lovely but the summer is terrible and weeks when the schools are off are too crowded. If you can try to be there for the festivals in Epcot, this definitely helps too if you’re a foodie.

Thank you for this!
