@spongepaddy@mastodon.ieIt's impressive, the bubbling optimism of someone doing their first ever round of novel queries. If only they knew. After twenty years of querying novels, and failing, I've given up. A novel is a massive time investment for something that goes nowhere. It's poetry, articles and non-fiction for me from this point on. Admission of failure or acceptance of reality, take your pick. #writing #notWriting #fiction
@spongepaddy Fair enough. Don't fancy the self publishing route?
@Homebrewandhacking Oh I've done it. And it's almost more heartbreaking, watching them sit there, not being bought.
@spongepaddy Fair enough, you've done what you can.
@spongepaddy So, is "Erotic Refugees" your novel? "Deep Shell" appears to be 54 pages long and the rest are various anthologies which your work appears in, have I got that right? 
Oh! Hollow Oaks looks rather more my speed. It has been flagged for typos? What's that? Irish English vs US English or the layout error fairy at work?
I'm pretty interested but wish to grade my expectations accordingly.
@Homebrewandhacking Hollow Oaks is one I'm very proud of and heard good things about. The flagging is due to a few typos. Like, 10 of them. And yet amazon plague me with warnings. But it's good, test the first few pages!
@spongepaddy I'll do that thanks!
@Homebrewandhacking And yeah i need to update some of the covers, but, you know, energy levels...
@spongepaddy ha. I do not in fact judge books by their covers. Well except as symbology to tell me genre and to just buy it if its by Kidby.
