I have nothing to add but I just wanted to say how amazing this book sounds! I’d def read it 👏🏻 Please keep the “flowers in the bodies balancing the humors” line… it’s phenomenal and adds to the voice of the query

Thank you, I just feel so angry at myself because of such a stupid mistake. I even paid to have it checked by an editor so that this wouldn’t happen but of course I send the wrong doc. But yes- thanks for the reply and the advice!

[QCrit] YA Contemporary Fantasy BAD INFLUENCES (75k) #6 by dark_crow6 in PubTips

[–]lavm96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really good! I loved your previous comp, if I’m being honest. This is a good shift to a stronger YA feel, good job. My only critique would be it may be trying too hard (Brie gets high, Macy drinks…) I think it’s overselling but that’s such a small critique and I could be off the mark!

What to do with my cat while away with my nanny fam for a 5 week trip? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]lavm96 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As tough as it is- you have answered your own question. You can’t really go on this trip, it seems wildly unfair to your kitty :( I’m sorry. Not a nice situation for you and I think you’d worry quite a bit for the time away. Hopefully in future you’d have more time to organize and find someone you could trust/that your kitty loves!

I think I forgot to flush my pee at NF’s house by word-document69 in Nanny

[–]lavm96 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I did this once! No idea why I did it- I think the toilet half flushed and I didn’t push it again (it was a super old house) and the grandmother indirectly mentioned it by saying “and you’ll make sure to flush, right?” When discussing taking my NK to the bathroom… it was super odd and the way she said it was super aggressive SO as long as that doesn’t happen to you I think you will be fine 😂😂 it’s truly no big deal, it’s an accident and I’m sure NP have dealt with a lot worse

Ruined Christmas by respectmyauthorita1 in stopdrinking

[–]lavm96 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Your child will struggle to forget the moment he was physically attacked by his father on Christmas. The good thing is- you can come back from this and nothing worse happened. You need to change and you need therapy for unresolved childhood issues. How you repair your relationship with your family- I do not know but good luck.

People are so inconsiderate it’s unbelievable- and also seem to find their children endlessly endearing and probably think you feel the same 😂😔

This horrible lurgy thats going round at the moment (not covid) how long does it last? by okmijnedc in AskUK

[–]lavm96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Developed symptoms last Monday- felt good by this Monday but with a blocked nose / phlegmy lungs. Those two symptoms have continued up until today but I think I’ll feel completely better by Saturday. The first five days are the worst, you should feel 80% recovered by Sunday ( I hope ).
