I think that this will make you feel better
what a cute puppet, dog, thing
For me to poop on!
Can we please ave the warm 86F (30c) weather from America please? Or at least 72F (21c)?
How does 53 F feel to you?
I haveâŚsighs.
Someone on Facebook started their feedback on my blurb with:
In general, I prefer reading original ideas over ânew take on a classicâ stories. However, what would probably prevent me from buying this book if I were to pick it up in a bookstore would be the grammatical errors in the blurb. Iâm pretty sure a book blurb should be pristineâat least, to satisfy a pendant such as myself.
I asked for feedback, not your preference, (if itâs not your cup of tea, donât read it, no one is forcing you) and I certainly never claimed my blurb was final or finished. If you see there are grammatical errors, why canât you just say âI noticed some grammar issues. Here they are and here are my suggestions.â???
SIGH ![]()
I know this person, who looks to be a man in his fifties or sixties, means well. Heâs trying to be helpful, but I think he could have gone about this a bit differently⌠sighâŚ
starting to get mild why?
That is how it is right now in the part of the US Iâm in.
Is it sunny? If it is sunny itâs much better.
Yeah but it also has cold wind from the sea.
Eats the cold wind from the sea.
I know, I feel so stupid not bottling it last summer. I could be making a fortune right now! (>âżâ )![]()
You would have sent me a free sample right? ![]()
Of course! One complete afternoon of sunshine and warm weather, on the house. (*ďźž-â) äš
Thanks, would love rn lol NGL
maybe if we frame it a different way? look:
^ a disclaimer. he has x personal preference but your story is y, so he doesnât feel he has anything helpful to say about the story content of the blurb.
^ feedback on something he can comment on. In my opinion, this is worded politely; it identifies a problem and explains how that problem might translate into the real world.
^ admittedly starts out a little bitchy but ends with self deprecation. I donât think the intention here was a jab at your blurb grammar. I think he was just trying to phrase things lightheartedly and it maybe fell flat.
This is feedback. Good feedback does not always equate to guiding you to each mistake. You did not pay this person to line edit for you, itâs reasonable for him to say âhey you have some grammar issues, you should check on thatâ and leave it at that.
also he doesnât even say anything about whether he thinks its final or not, he just points out something that should be fixed before it is final⌠because you asked for feedback and thatâs the feedback he had to offer.
tbh babes, i donât really understand how this was a bad response. It could certainly be a frustrating one, especially if youâre not sure where the grammar mistakes he mentions are (and if thatâs the case then Iâd be happy to check it for you whenever youâre ready). But heâs not attacking your work or being rude or anything imo, and he did give a helpful suggestion.
I got to do another story project focusing on two characters, two male characters from different standings in the Sovereignâs Imperial Court and very similar goals that they handle differently than later become different as time progresses.
I call the story project Dynasty or Project Dynasty.
The title of the story is Sons of a Dynasty.
Woot, woot! ![]()
I feel sorry for Kaiji and Akagi for sitting at the table right next to Goku, Vegeta, Roshi, and Ginyu.
To explain to someone that yes I have a lesbian couple, but in no way is the novel a romance is going to make me want to scream.
Gisella and Kali are lesbian married couple who are important to the plot, but they arenât the main, main focus.
People who read this story will want romance from the other characters and I HATE romance in spades in my own fiction. I made Gisella and Kali a married couple rather than go through the maddening hell of their relationship working itâs way into the relationship because it is plot important.
Thatâs just my two cents.
