@authoralbertopupo.bsky.social good morning! I'm not trying to sell anything or give marketing/etc services. I'm a building author too and this is support. I read your excerpt, and it was engaging! But there are some typos. I used to be a developmental and line editor. I can't DM you or I would have

Elliot never wanted to be a hero. Dragged from Earth into a kingdom on the edge of war, he became something far stranger.

I’m deep into writing Book 2. Expect new allies, enemies, and deeper secrets behind his gift.

Book 1 is available on Amazon.

But can one really escape fate?

What #grammar #rules can you #ignore?

The #oxfordcomma. That's the final #serialcomma after yellow: green, yellow, and red.

#People die on the Oxford Comma #hill. WHY? I don't use it unless for #clarity. But use it… or don't. #Uptoyou!

What #Books #inspired you?

The Black Company by Glen Cook

This series, short books by #fantasy standards (and there's no #map!), set my bar for #storytelling and #antiheroes. These "heroes" work for the #badguys, y'all.

What #Books #inspired you?

Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin

I don't know if he will finish this series. But forget the show, the novels are incredible. I had to go back and reread parts since I couldn't believe what had just happened.

What #grammar #rules can you #ignore?

Never end a #sentence with a #preposition!

Unless you really want to add "a$$h0le" to the end of your sentences, go ahead and end on a preposition. Who are they going to complain to?
