I've run 2 writing groups, I'm really good at giving critiques.
I have:
When Stars Speak: long NA epic swords and sorcery fantasy series
Perhaps on a Different Plane: YA urban fantasy trilogy
Calamity's Leftovers: weird post apocalyptic duology

My new friends waiting for assorted books to beta read, my Word program has crashed so many times I've lost count. I promise I am trying. My computer is trying too it's over 10 years old and was refurbished when I got it. We are slow.

Running out of yarn while crocheting a Christmas present right as the delivery of more yarn rolls down the driveway 👍👍👍

Scammers should work like Swiper on Dora the Explorer. If I get suspicious and ask if you're a scammer, you have to just be like "aw man!" and admit it and move on.

I never know what's going to take off here. I assume I get lucky with a big account reposting? My long, detailed description of series I need betas for: nothing. A post basically saying "aaaahh I need betas for series, haaalp": over 100 likes & several offers. Yay, but also, I do not understand.

Tinorkk reproduce less frequently than humans, & for the most part age slower. Families are usually small, unless they're a pack forming Tinorkk like werewolves who are all about family. Centuries of the Agency's propaganda has made most Tinorkk distrust other species-

Tinorkk Towns are subterranean, but not on purpose. They were forced into a treaty with humans & a loophole involving trap streets allows them to build, but only downwards. They've mostly lost access to the sky. Keeping stories of their constellations alive is a battle.

Where do y'all find people willing to beta read series? I would be happy to swap & am a good critiquer. I'm good for big picture stuff and also decent with grammar. Writing groups (I run one) are too slow, I've written 3 books before they've finished critiquing one. Big discords freak me out. Help.

Christmas shopping is so stressful. What do you MEAN all the great gifts I dropped into my cart to sift through cost that much?? Completely unfair. A million things I want to give family and friends and not nearly that many dollars. Not to mention never enough time to make everything on the list.

Has anyone else's autocorrect gotten WAY worse? Mine's been replacing perfectly good words with words it thinks are used more often in that pattern. & suggesting ridiculous ways to finish what I'm typing including groups of unrelated words that look like the word I'm trying to type until I click it.

I'm trying to make a stamp of a Rick roll qr code so I can make a ridiculously fancy ceramic mug that Rick rolls my brother in law. But I can't find a site that immediately plays the song with no ads. Anyone have a good link? Bonus points for sending me the QR code because I'm bad at technology.

I've realized I'm outlining the 2nd story with a section involving "the current system sucks let's organize elections" in fantasy settings that didn't have them before.
This 1 involves sneaking around an oppressive government while the other is characters accidentally taking over their current 1.

I guess technically not a symbiote because their hosts are dead, but Kashim is an energy being who inhabits/puppets bones to interact with the world. Their latest set belonged to a dear halfling friend who left his skeleton to Kushim in his will. Kushim is many centuries old.

Why are human spines so long? We are the naked mole rat weenie dogs of the primate family. We do not need limbs or spines this long. There are too many ribs. I demand a sturdier, more compact model. None of this overcooked spaghetti spine nonsense. Why don't we have fur? I will not survive the cold.

Okay, not at all calling it a distraction because all the evil things are flanking maneuvers, not distractions, but also...
Did they ever release any of the Epstein files? Or are we focusing entirely on war crimes instead of sex crimes now? Or am I just out of the news loop?

Oh yeah btw the reason why Vine is being relaunched with great fanfare and no Al is because it's jointly operated with an Al company and they probably don;t want to pollute their scrap pile with stuff they've already shat out.

Have you ever been outlining something & realize writing the series might be another 10 year event?
There's so much distance between the beginning and end that it's going to take a ridiculous amount of plot point stepping stones to get there. I'm thinking a bunch of novellas might be the way to go.

If I have a character obsessed with Oreos am I going to get smacked down by Big Cookie? It's weirdly important in a supply chain way for it to be a brand name food. I could make an obvious knockoff brand of something but it won't hit the same. But I also don't want it to hit with lawsuits.

I made a chunky, fermented, smoked hot sauce out of mildly spicy garden peppers and garlic. After a year of prepping the garden & growing peppers, hours picking, a month fermenting, a day prepping and bottling...that is some of the best stuff imaginable. Absolutely worth it. Growing weird peppers 👍👍

It's an urban fantasy in this world, so our technology plus some mixed with magic. Vincent is the main experimenter when it comes to combining the two, but The Agency will use magic with technology to protect the world, despite the fact that they're protecting it from magic.

I'm trying to research the relationship between math and music for book planning and have mostly discovered a fascinating array of words I have never seen before.
I...am not sure I will continue with this idea 😅. I am not willing to learn what abstract algebra is for this. Do not like.
