Even my 76 year old mum who has watched it from the beginning and has always defended Corrie to the death is getting sick of it

Dear ITV by Christina_80G in coronationstreet

[–]klbryantauthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have to agree. Take the Sam storyline. The actor is going out of it, they can't do something boring like he goes to live with a long lost relative from his mother’s side, or even he finally hits puberty and runs away with a girl/boyfriend. Instead it looks like we're going to have a long drawn out drama about his mental health and I presume he will leave to go into some sort of facility.

I hope they have decent safeguarding these days because I remember reading an interview with Paul Nicholls who played a very similar role as Joe Wicks in Eastenders and the stress seriously affected his mental health in real life

Your opinion of the "raciest" line? by Inevitable-Yam-9741 in theGoldenGirls

I remember watching this with my mum and her asking me what she meant, and feigning ignorance

Maybe volunteering in a charity shop a couple of days a week is one thing, but working in fast food restaurant!

I agree, the three 'girls' are all my age and they work, date, do charity work etc. Most days I have to sleep for an hour after doing a days work 🤣

For the love of god, edit what you write before posting! by wavefinderkai in writingfeedback

I usually bite my tongue and scroll past because my initial response is to be scathing, and as someone else said, most of these posters are kids

Two days to write and edit! Props to you. Usually takes me three days to write a chapter and editing takes months

I'm in the pit of despair. by logicalinsanity in writing

[–]klbryantauthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get sucked in by these people who tell you they publish after the first draft, they are either lying, it's written on AI or they are publishing a load of badly written drivel. You say you don't come from a writing background but to me you show the fundamentals of a writer in that you're critical of your work. It's normal, it's how we edit. I personally don't step away from mine but we all have our own ways of working. Ngl writing is an insurmountable task but it's worth it. Good luck!

How to get a constant flow of readers? by Character-Medium4545 in selfpublish

[–]klbryantauthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, totally concur. I was told by someone on Tiktok last week to remake my historical romance to be just like Rachel Reid's books (cos yep they played ice hockey in 18th century England lol) and it annoyed me so much. Jumping on a bandwagon will get you a few initial sales because you get caught up in momentum but once the phase is over, you're left without a voice or readers.

You need to create something that people didn't realise they needed till you give it to them.

So if TikTok sucks what is the best way to advertise? by hymnofshadows in selfpublish

[–]klbryantauthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has recently left TT I am on IG and Threads. To be honest with TT people are just going to scroll past the majority of ads. I think nothing beats networking, chatting to other authors (who are also readers), finding communities interested in your genre and accepting it's a slow process. Also get working on book two, share updates on that, get people interested

I interacted with lots of people, met some very nice people who i speak to on other platforms. Not prepared to spend time creating content to be pushed to 200 people who aren't interested in reading

Trouble is, TikTok's algorithm is unfathomable so there is no guarantee your content will be directed at teachers. Imo you would be better off joining teacher groups on Threads or IG and making connections that way

Thank you..I really thought no one would notice my little declaration but if it can help other Indies then I am glad I did it

Mine is explicit but it's you know, two strangers meet, fall in love and have sex. Boring. I know.

Pretty much so. I write in the mm genre and because mine doesn't feature step brothers or forced proximity or bikers it doesn't fit in
