If Youre Reading This: This Is Your Sign That Your WIP Is Worth Writing, Is Worth The Effort, And That

If you’re reading this: this is your sign that your WIP is worth writing, is worth the effort, and that you are doing great. Keep going, take breaks, reflect. But do not lose sight of how far you’ve come on this project! You can do it!

Warning to writers

While you are worrying about whether beta readers will steal your ideas, there is a more genuine threat on the horizon.

When offered a publishing contract, please do all your research before you sign. There are a number of fakes and scammers out there, as well as good-intentioned amateurs that don’t know how to get your work to a wide audience. I won’t tell the heartbreaking stories here - there are too many.

Being published badly is worse than being never published.

It can destroy your career and your dreams.

The quick check is to google the publishing house name + scam or warning.

But, to be sure, check with these places first. They aren’t infallible (nothing is) but they can help you protect yourself. They are written and maintained by expereinced writers, editors, publishers and legal folks.

Writer Beware

and the WRITER BEWARE blog

Keep yourself and your work safe.

This is really important, so if you are a writer or have writer friends, or you are a writing blog, please reblog it.

Like es, wenn du auf #ruinofkings stehst, reblogge es, wenn du auf #nightangel stehst.

Omg I'm from Austria and though I have reread wmf in English I never even thought about translating Edeman, I thought it a made up name. Holy shit Pat😂😂

Okay, but, theory time: We have to meet another Edema Ruh troupe in Doors of Stone. We just have to. We have met one (his parents’) in NotW, who were glorified and put on a pedestal. In WMF, we meet the fake Edema Ruh, who are evil and despicable. BOTH GROUPS ARE SLAUGHTERED. Yes, the second one deserved it, but that parallel is not there by accident. We are going to meet a third, who will be more human, neither angelic or demonic. I think they will come in at the end of the frame story. That’s Kote’s happy ending. Joining the Edema Ruh again. I would love if we meet them during the story and then they show up and he joins them. All I know, is it just makes sense, one troupe for each book.
