Follow up overnight. The Republicans lost harder. Trump is having the biggest meltdown since Fukushima. My KDP dashboard didn't lie and someone actually bought my cli-fi book. Today is a good day. I must have died in my sleep.
Someone bought my book. The Republicans lost. Trump is spiraling. I can go to bed happy.

Two "review" bombs, no book sales, and the sobering realization that the most popular book genre ever appeals to people who think a character's eye color is a personality trait is not how this author wanted to start her November.

As expected, a fellow writer who either cannot handle criticism or a rabid fan of very popular and objectively poorly-written books has found one of my books and left the lowest rating they could manage because they are petty and don't know what working with editors looks like.

I have come to realize the intersection between "We don't judge people for their politics" crowd also includes writers who say "Editors ruin an author's voice" and "We don't criticize books" are the same type of people, the 'don't tread on me' crowd.

Every creative arts training/education includes peer critique. It is not a personal review but about the creation presented. Unlike with political stances.

THE WALL excerpt from ACOSH, part of the ACOTAR series. For those who needed a video explaining why this isn't million-dollar prose but instead a juvenile narration with simplistic and redundant words with no understanding of POV nor character placement, drivel for pages.

This prose might make millions but it isn't worth millions: juvenile narration with simplistic and redundant words with no understanding of POV nor character placement, drivel for pages. ACOTAR. Thorns in my eyes sounds nice right about now. THE WALL excerpt from ACOSH.

Excerpt acquired! Get a load of that million-dollar prose, my fellow writers!
I think I saw the "build a wall" quote from ACOTAR Number Whatever, and aside the obvious, I can't get over an earlier line that includes "it made her very, very mad." It's the "very, very" bit that gets me. Is the author/readers so dumb they don't know the word "enraged?"

Bonus points if someone can provide a screenshot of the page with this line on it. Caught it at a glance and it makes me very, very mad. Sorry. It pisses me off. Bothers me. Infuriates. My soul boils at this indignation done upon English literature, aka, some people are dumb!

Alas, despite my best hopes, I received zero reviews on my books. I mean boobs! Did I mean books?
Please tell my I am not the only indie author struggling to get people to leave reviews on my boobs. I mean books! BOOKS! Fricken typos.

Caught some guy taking random photos of my car. -Not because it was parked poorly -Not because there was a problem -Not because they were going "LOL, look at this n00b" Apparently adding $500 worth of purple stripes to a Bimmer makes them go, "Wow." Car tax below.

Does any other artist wish their art style was so stylistically pleasing that people turn around and start calling it AI? Because imposter syndrome is strong today and I feel like people would be more likely to accuse me of stealing some 8-year-old's homework.

People who knowingly read AI books are dumb, because they happily and unironically enjoy books from writers who are too stupid to do any thinking themselves. I prefer to have discerning readers as my audience, not morons. Thanks.

My strategy of commenting on obvious AI books with links to my non-AI books has yielded no results. As nice as it would be for people to buy my work out of spite to the AI author ghouls, or to have them reconsider their purchases and look into non-AI work, it hasn't panned out.
