Well i want that as well but ive learned in the last 2 years that that is practically impossible without an agent or contacts to the publishing industry. And as long as thats not happening, im happily self-publishing. Part of this job is having a ton of patience i guess.

Atleast thats the situation here in Germany if youre a no-name in the industry. I dont know if its easier in the US to find a publisher.

I'm just going to try to get an agent. Or maybe I'll have to do short stories in small magazines first.

The YA Twitter mob is already foaming at the mouth.

I'm not intending it to be YA, but it might be marketed it that way.

You should very well be. One of the most misunderstood and stereotyped social groups out there. I have many trans friends and through knowing them my perspective changed so much for so many aspects of my life.

I just want to pay people back if they read my stuff.

Riverdale is pretty bad. RIP nonetheless.

He's done more than Riverdale, but even if he didn't this post seems very insensitive.

Yeah, I've been around long enough to remember the days of when Beverly Hills 90210 was massive. Get outta here with that Riverdale nonsense.

 

They had just announced a revival too so it seemed like he was on the comeback trail.  Hopefully Tarantino gave him a nice (and unexpected) send-off.

Man that sucks about Luke Perry

 

[terrestrial]

never watch those kind of TV-series = I have no opinion about whatever, but 52 is wayyy too young to die.

It's like with the whole Kelly Marie Tran debacle some would say "Well I don't think she should be harassed but Rose Tico was a poorly written character"  Just stop at she shouldn't be harassed.   Just stop at RIP Luke Perry.    The lack of sense in people astounds me each day.

There is one YA transgender book by a cis author, so I'm not worried.

Same shit with that Leslie Jones/Ghostbusters thing a few years ago. Social media has brought out the worst.

I did like Perry in 8 Seconds.   That was one of those films that would show on cable and I'd watch at least a few minutes of it.

The only thing I know Luke Perry from is Family Guy. Still, RIP.

Just saw the Luke Perry news and I’m so unbelievably sad about it
