I see, AI is still not amazing with hands. That finger looks like a thumb.

Agree completely. Iām speaking with my pounds and hope many Europeans speak with their euros and other currencies.

Nobody said fighting fascism was going to be fun or convenient. These bastards have built up their near-monopolies for a very long time.

Iām in the process of removing my books from KU, and will never go back. Also, as somebody who knows finance, putting oneās eggs into one basket is risky as hell. Audio, translations, merchandise, patreon etc are good diversification strategies.

Open Office/Libre Office 4evar. I keep thinking I should try something more sophisticated but maybe Iām just that old-skool.

Urgh. Iāve heard of at least together who were writing inside atticus and lost a well-advanced manuscript with no way to fix it.

Same. I hear people rave about Atticus and Scrivener, and I use the German version of Papyrus for my translations. I fail to see the USP of papyrus English.

There are alternatives - and yes, the only income I currently have is from my books. Thereās Kobo Plus, there are library loans via Libby, thereās Patreon/Substack. Amazon as a company is evil - theyāve removed their diversity policies, just one example, and actively support a fascist.

Addendum - by cheap trinkets I mean gaudy shit, not monetarily cheap. Just before somebody comes at me how they spent hundreds on ācollectiblesā in the Mouse Kingdom.

Basically all the concentration camp romances written by US authors belong in there. But itās more widely spread than that.

Too often, authors use foreign cultures and histories and nations like theyāre doing an extended stroll through fucking Disneyland, grabbing some cheap trinkets left and right without even checking facts or language use. Not just talking about US authors here.

Title has a typo - do you use other German words and did a native German check them?

Hah, Amazonās not great promotion interface strikes again. Iāve just reduced it to 0.99 pounds but thatāll only take effect from the 4 February (running to 7 February). Thanks for letting me know!

Can I help?

I find āobstacleā useful. As a shortcut, I ask myself āhow can I ruin my characterās dayā? Can feel more organic.

Uhm, basically the whole genre of romance would like a word. (I mean itās so niche niche and there isnāt much money in it ā¦)

Yeah, weāll deal with it. May I suggest certain areas of Berlin? Nobody will find enough tissue for a forensic analysis.

My granddad fought on the side of the damn Nazis and I agree with you.

As a historian and as a German, Iām laughing so hard at your willful
Ignorance. āTruth to powerā? Funniest bio on social media.
