It is a VERY specific - and demanding - skillset and I am 100% certain I do not have the capacity for it.

I genuinely don't think I could do it. Not least because I have the wrong accent for most of my characters π

Is this story a touching age-gap romance with an older MC who gets a second chance at happiness, or is it saccharine, self-indulgent dross leaning heavily on self-doubt as an excuse for relationship myopia? WHO KNOWS, ALEX, WHO KNOWS
I'm at the reading-editing-reading-editing stage where you can't decide if this is the worst story ever written in all of history or if over-familiarity with your own words is just working against you.

I memorized Iago's "how am I then the villain?" monologue in Othello for my A-Level English Lit exams a painfully long time ago, and it changed me irrevocably. More capes. More fourth-wall-breaking. More "I reckon I'm gonna coax my boss into killing the person he loves, why not, eh?" energy.

The terrible feeling when you realize you Have Thoughts On The Day's Discourse and may even have to write them down.

You've got that "I need some silly, sexy gay short story action in my life" look in your eye again, so here you go.
If you love the "I shouldn't do this, I shouldn't enjoy this, but I just can't stop..." slippery slope then I think you might like Scooter's story. Attention is one hell of a drug...

Once again reminding people that indie authors are almost always down to hand out review copies.
There's no reason to pirate their books.

Okay, because I need to try and re-spark some writing community joy after⦠*gestures at everything* how about a revisit on a way you can absolutely support authors you love for zero dollars: by dropping a low-stress, three-sentence review somewhere.

(When I say "small ugh" I'm obviously not dismissing the experience of people who might have a deadname with far more unpleasant memories or other emotional load attached. I get that names can be a much bigger deal than my small privacy headache!)

This is a small "ugh" in the grand scheme of things, but there are people whose ko-fi I would like to support only "payment reveals legal name" is a headache.
