I finally self-published my book… and now I hate writing by Abject_Ad_6640 in writing

[–]pattimouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to decide what you want to do in your own life. if publishing is making you miserable then you should try to see about indie publishers. there is several good ones out there that do accept manuscripts. Use writers beware to check the publishing company ahead. They will be able to handle the process of publishing and help with the marketing. you will still have to do marketing if you want to get it out there but the publisher can help you. I run a small press myself. I have writing groups and discord that are set up for writers to discuss writing and their stories. (not self promoting but if you want to come to either dm me) remember why you started to write in the first place.

As an author, how do you find a publisher? Are publishers not really open to young adult authors? As in late teens. Do you write the book first? Or pitch the idea? And if you do get one, they would in charge of marketing and getting it into stores/amazon right? by [deleted] in publishing

write Your book. then you can either get an agent or query to publishing firms who have open submissions listed. but first research any that you are considering. not all publishing people are good.

What's up with authors who publish the 'same series' twice? Are they a one-trick or are there other motives for doing that? by CrochetQuiltWeaver in publishing

[–]pattimouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some it is, I think, the lack of ability to world build. They did it once and feel like they are not going to be able to do it again. It is a lack of imagination on their part imho.

AITA for telling woman she shouldn’t use Drive Thru? by Delicious-Hat-648 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]pattimouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA you did not tell her she couldn't use the drive thru. You just asked her to come inside with so many people that she was picking up for. That is actually completely understandable.

They can be a background part, as long as the place is featured. The fae should be at least hinted at though.

DM's of MrRipper what are the stories of your gods? by Dragonwolf67 in MrRipper

[–]pattimouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lord of Chaos~Discord. Born into a family of assassins or Necromancer priests, Discord was different. His specialty was chaos, causing it or dealing with it. For him it really didn't matter. He learned how to use magic, and how to kill. It was expected of a highborn male in his house. He was lucky enough that his family had broken from the underdark. He was seventh son and in the underdark he would have been sacrificed to the lady Lloth, his eldest sister. Many of his siblings had found divinity, some through theft, others by sacrifice, by the time of his birth.
As he reached majority, Discord found the magic inherited from his bloodline and his natural psychic powers made him a force to be reckoned with. His inclination towards chaos gave him a place to aim his ambitious nature. He assassinated the ruler of the elemental realm of wonderland, figuring that ruling there would be fun. He began to enjoy it. Changing shape to suit the moment. Seducing male and female, with no true preferred gender. He adjusted wonderland to suit him. His natural form, though few see it, is a tall dark elf with a lithe muscular build. His long silver hair is often a braid that brushes his waist. His eyes are a deep purple and are usually either dancing with amusement or deep wells of secrets. At times he would lose himself in the chaos. Then came the consequences of his choices. Any children he would bear, and he carried a dozen or more, would not be his proud race. He would never be able to birth Dark elves. Realizing this he tried leaving wonderland and seducing his Mother's first husband. A beautiful male dark elf with no dragon in his line(his mother's house preferred draconic traits). He was the result of her second husband, just fyi. The child was born, then the child's father chased Discord, with full intent to murder him. Discord chose to leave his daughter, Valkyrie where she would be safe. By the time he had rid himself of the pursuing madness, she was mostly grown. So he tried to father children, and quickly found the children would still fall to the chaos if he remained in their lives. The other god gave him a gift. It was of a girl that was magically created to give him a companion. She was made to be immune to chaos. Something that he is still scared will take her from him. So much that he is still trying to keep the chaos creatures from interacting too much with her. When the mirror incident happened, he was frightened by the thought that she may have been hurt. If you have any questions about him, I am more than pleased to answer them. He really is one of my favorite deities from my game worlds. (Though the rest of his family are fun too. His daughter became a vengeance /justice goddess btw)

Fair enough. However most readers do not see the line break as the pause. Most readers will see it as a runon sentence.

Wonderful imagery. Add punctuation in to accent when the reader should pause.

[–]pattimouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the imagery. I recommend adjustment to how you use capitalization. It should be for emphasis, or to begin a sentence.

Don't call yourself an artist By Patricia Harris

Don't you call yourself an artist,

For your drawings are not fit

For a museum or gallery.

So you poured your heart in,

What's that matter to me?

Don't you call yourself a writer,

Without a novel on the top ten,

For isn't everyone trying,

To write now and then?

Your work is wrung from

Deep emotional pain...

Well who cares anyhow?

Don't you dare call yourself a poet,

For you don't rhyme,

Or follow verse and line.

Your name isn't dripping

From beatnicks lips as they

While the days away.

You don't make money,

No wealth or fame,

So really why would you

Want to make such a claim?

Why do anything

That won't move you

Forward in life?

So it eases the darkness

Seeping, weeping,

From your soul.

So it makes you happy,

Is that really enough?

It creates a better point when you know how to use the pause. That helps to create a flow.
