First novel, speculative historical crossover. That’s a mouthful in itself.

How many words would you shoot for to make it marketable? I’ve heard 80k-100k is the sweet spot. What do you think?

Self-publishing isn’t something I’m interested in. I’m more in the camp of if I sell it, I sell it. If not, so be it, I accomplished something pretty cool in the writing of it.

Hello! I’m writing my first novel. I took the advice of this subreddit, and I just sat down and started writing. Thank you for the advice.

I’m at about 39,000 words and feel like I’m about 2/3 done saying what I have to say. The plan is to go back and re-read and make adjustments, and probably expand some areas where I may prefer more depth in a scene or character.

I’m reading a book now (novel, fiction) that really tries hard to paint a picture on every page. Every person, scene, motion has a lot of adjectives so that you see the scene exactly the way the writer wants you to.

I feel like my writing is more similar to me telling a story. Sometimes there’s a picture painted, sometimes there isn’t.

How do you prefer to write? Is it different from what you prefer to read?

Officially a Delta Reserve Amex member. Usually flying first class. Flying 1-3x a month. Have never been more than Gold but I wasn’t really striving for anything more.

Looks like I have something like 15 “free” passes to the sky-club per year with the card upgrade now. (Had the gold Delta Amex before).

I don’t give the sky club much thought since there’s usually a line when I see it… and since I didn’t have access I just have other routines.

How the heck does the lounge work? And what tips do you have? Is it called a “lounge” or is that just what I say in my own head?

Most common airport time for me is spent at MSP, BOS, LGA and DTW.

Well… after listening to you all for several months… it was the companion flight that finally got me to cave and upgrade the gold Amex to the reserve.

Tell me how you maximize the value of yours. 🎄😊

Also 125k in bonus miles after spending the required amount in 6 months. Hellllll yeah.

And… what’s the best month/season to visit?

Dearest corporate decision makers for Marriott,

Please charge me an extra $5, $6, whatever-dollars per night extra for my stay in exchange for a couple of extremely inexpensive, and easy to procure, bottles of water in the room.

Please. I beg of you.

Sincerely,
Reluctant late night luke-warm tap water drinker

Please share your favorite way(s) to higher your vibration.

I’m going through a prolonged transformation and I could really use some tools and ideas that work for others.

Thank you! 🙏

I experienced Quantum Ethers Meditation today for the first time. It was the first time I’ve ever felt truly in flow during a meditation exercise.

I’m not sure if it was the particular practitioner, or the meditation type, or both.

I’m curious if anyone has experience with this. If so, were you able to continue it in practice on your own? I’m going to try.
