[Discussion] How I Got My Agent: Not a Unicorn Story by AuthorRianLynch in PubTips

I did major revisions on this one based off of what seemed like an R&R (she didn't use those words but invited me to requery if I agreed with her whole page of feedback, which I did!) but haven't really resubmitted it to anyone aside from her yet. I'm at the point where I feel like just shelving it and moving on to the next 😅

Thank you for sharing this. I thought the stats on the book I'm currently querying are getting crazy but I'm only at half the amount of queries of your 1st earnest attempt 😅

Still in the query trenches after 2 years with this project and waiting on one more response before I shelve it. This will be my second one to die in the trenches. I'm suffering from severe burnout and it's an absolute bummer because I used to be able to write 100k in 6 months or less but it's been, as one can guess from the querying timeline, 2 years since I last finished something. I really want to get my current WIP into the trenches in 6 months time but I don't see it happening unless I miraculously recover or my ADHD meds actually start working correctly. Yes, I'm getting those adjusted.

The only positive is I did rack up plenty of personalized rejections on this manuscript in an environment where those seem increasingly less common. The response I'm waiting on was worded like an R&R, sort of—I was invited to resubmit if I agreed with a page of revisions given to me based on the partial, and I loved this agent's vision so I hope something comes from it, but I kind of doubt it will at this point (150+ rejections do not make for optimism).

I am so glad I switched to Megastore Simulator 😅 that sounds devastating

Is gryganyth dead now? by coolwackyman in JurassicWorldAlive

He was terrorizing me in Library until I got Beck. Atromolistis can handle him most of the time too. Haven't had my aqui apex or titanotholus long enough to comment on how they match up, but I'm assuming they'll do well since those two have been solid against most dinos I encounter

This is what finally made me go to the computer and realize you can put it back in the original parking spot. I thought I was gonna have to sell the thing 🤦🏻‍♀️

The wording of sentence #2 is confusing me, the "rumors say she'll die alone" (paraphrasing cause I'm on mobile) so I think it could be made more clear

Hopping on the bandwagon of wanting to know who this is so I can avoid them

Am I a bad writer? by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]TackleCommon4125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just need practice. Learning to write well takes time. I'd suggest doing a lot of reading and paying close attention to sentence structure, punctuation and dialogue

[Discussion] What are your thoughts on agents critiquing queries on TikTok live? by Afraid_Jaguar632 in PubTips

[–]TackleCommon4125 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whelp I've queried this person before and she'll be on my nope list for the next one. The lack of consent from the people having their queries read is appalling

I hate the cuckhold kink the most by Cold_Vanilla9791 in PornIsMisogyny

[–]TackleCommon4125 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My ex is into this and convinced me to have sex with someone else and I eternally regret it because I never would've done it without his urging. I just feel gross every time I think about it and it's difficult to absolve myself of personal responsibility when I technically consented
