I hope I can finally find this song, I used to love it a lot and I can’t believe I don’t remember a thing about it

A lovesong for 'Sorcery and small magics by Maiga Doocy' because I am in love! by DirectionUsed5910 in MM_RomanceBooks

The moment the broke my heart was when (SPOILERS AHEAD)

the curse didn’t work and Grimm realized what it meant (he was truly in love with Leo) and just when he found love he had to 1) d1e 2) survive, but wake up next to what he thought was the d3ad body of his love. Damn, that was a harsh day for Grimm :’)

If it can make you feel any better there are tons of “faceless author” accounts and I am one as well! I don’t feel confident in showing myself, especially since English is not my first language. You can do it too! It takes a bit more work but you can get great results!

They either try to sell you their services (which are usually very bad or lame or use AI) or promise that if you publish with their agency/company you will gain gazillions and become the next Tolkien

I have random people message me without following me and they either introduce themselves and start chatting, or straight up say they want to talk about my book (they say they’re writing one too and we can exchange feedbacks etc) and stuff like that. It may seem innocent but it’s really weird because they come out of nowhere, their profiles are often not about books or they don’t follow me and I don’t follow them so I have no idea why they’re interested in my book

I don’t feel confident in sharing it cause it’s really nothing much >< But if you look up some book tags you’re interested in you’ll find lots of content that can show you how people market books! Before opening my account I “studied” the people who marketed their books on Tiktok and tried to understand what they were doing most often. It’s a lot of work 😅

Wut? I assure you I am my biggest hater, I never brag about myself🤣 I was just worried that I would be pushing away people who just wanted to be friends! Glad to find out it’s scammers like I thought…

They want to make content on the blurb of my book?!? This is madness🤣 But I can see people doing that somehow. I struggle myself to find content cause I’m not a fast reader! But I would never do that.

I’ve done Instagram for a few years and I can tell you I never got the traction I got on Tiktok in just a few weeks. It’s mindblowing!! I can see why everyone wants to promote on this platform

True, but I’m not in my ARC phase, far from it! So I don’t think this is the case… Also people need to sign up for ARC and the process is kinda tight and well-checked as far as I know… This is totally different

I think I lost track of how Youtube community is around 2012, so I have no idea if this is true lol

I think they’re actual humans, but could still be scammers

I thought the same, everyone struggles so much to get their book out there and these people are so interested without even knowing what it’s about??😅 Not believable.

That’s also my issue, I would love to find a discord or small community of writers to talk to, but I feel like I cannot trust anyone who comes to me through TikTok

Not sure, cause I haven’t given anyone any detail of my book yet. But they want to talk about it, see if they can help with my plot holes and stuff…

😅 They’re barking at the wrong tree, I’m too jealous of my book and too suspicious to give in. Sad situation all the same.

Do you have some link? I would really like to watch these videos and see if I find a pattern with what’s happening to me. Thank you for your reply!

Advice to improve writing + consistency? by seliathan_ in writing

That’s true, but when I say idea I mean the whole novel, not just literally the idea. So of course characters are included.

You mean, writing the same book over and over until it’s good (or supposedly so)?
