A gathering
Dear Algorithm, Please bring me the bookworms, the writers, the journal lovers, and the people who get way too attached to fictional characters. I just want to find my kind of people. 📚🤎

Self-published authors don’t have a marketing problem. They have an attention problem. You’re competing with: • Netflix • TikTok • Every other book on Amazon • People’s actual lives I’m on a mission to solve this puzzle. Join me.

I agree! One wonders if that article was written by AI as it shows such poor understanding of human endeavour
This seems a strange way to describe someone who fought at the Somme, who lost nearly all his closest friends in battle, who drank the nectar of ancient poetry with C. S. Lewis, who wholly & irrevocably re-invented the fantasy genre.

Self-publishing isn’t the hard part. Getting people to notice your book is. Most authors pour everything into writing… then whisper about the finished book and hope the algorithm is kind. It isn’t.

Unpopular opinion. Most people who say “I don’t have time” actually mean “it’s not a priority.” The ones who get stuff done treat time like the non-negotiable it is. This applies to EVERYTHING, not just writing ✍️ Agree or disagree?

In old Western movies, the hero wore a white hat. The villain wore a black one. Simple visual shorthand so the audience knew who to root for. That same shorthand jumped into hacking culture: • White hat = the ethical hackers. They break 1/2

into systems with permission to find vulnerabilities before the bad guys. They’re the good guys of cybersecurity • Black hat = the malicious ones. They break in without permission to steal, sabotage, or sell what they find. 2/2

Jake Brigance is back in Clanton, Mississippi, three years after A Time to Kill. A rich old man hangs himself from a sycamore tree and leaves nearly his entire fortune to his housekeeper, cutting out his own kids. What follows is a fierce courtroom battle packed with secrets.

No one prepares you for the quiet parts of being an author. The long stretches where no one is talking about your book. The days you open the document & just stare. The weird mix of pride and embarrassment when someone asks “what’s it about?” & you have to summarize your soul!
