Well, it's a meritocracy, innit, so that means hard work is rewarded with praise and success

juliagoolia9.bsky.social•472 days ago

That’s not how publishing works but go off.

swilua.bsky.social•472 days ago

Oh David knows haha

juliagoolia9.bsky.social•472 days ago

Oh thank god lol 😂

davidjonfuller.bsky.social•472 days ago

Julia, I appreciate the spirit in which it was meant!

Thus far in my writing and publishing journey, despite some successes, I feel a lot of my philosophy is best summed up by Marvin the Android: "Why stop now, just when I'm hating it?"

Oh God. Yeah. This.

Truly, the worst.

Why are you attacking me this early in the morning???

cathinator.bsky.social•532 days ago

This is why if I ever finish my novel I'm just going to let my friends read it and then never speak of it again

aleighmac.bsky.social•503 days ago

Conversely, I only let complete strangers read mine. 😂

cathinator.bsky.social•503 days ago

I just feel like a complete stranger won't feel obliged to tell me it's good 😬

Ouch. Very much not an industry for those who're scared of rejection.

voxexsinister.bsky.social•457 days ago

Come to think of it, that probably applies to The Arts in general, at least if you want to make a living doing it.

tygan.bsky.social•532 days ago

I don't even mind rejection as long as no one dares give me feedback!

ellmercury.bsky.social•532 days ago

I didn't come here to be attacked

jjofbc.bsky.social•457 days ago
