Oh man. :blob_blank: But an additional fact is that it started slowly with the simultaneous ratings of good and bad, but now it's so close to one another, my paranoia is kicking like crazy. Just KNOWING you are paranoid and it's in your head doesn't make it go away. Which makes everything more...

Exactly! I mean, it might be an ego thing with the 5 stars, because it mostly means they liked it and had nothing bad to say, but I would still love to know what they liked the most or what they thought of certain events or characters and choices. The 2 star is more important though, because at...

Yeah, wouldn't listen to that. Stand your ground. :blob_cookie:

The thing is, as I said, since I started getting bad ratings, they have always come in pairs. It started with one bad rating. Some time later came a 4 or 5 star rating, shortly after came another 2 or 2,5. And now it's literally together (or in the span of hours, so I don't see it over night)...

At this point, I'm not even sad anymore. Just disappointed. :blob_blank:

If that were the case, that would be it. But that's not the case, because literal ups and downs aren't really it. And I do have really positive reviews, but those people who have actual problems seem to not say a word and that's frustrating, when you are told they are totally honest and open...

Discord?

Harsh? How, if they don't say a word? :blob_teary:

Cold calling is what you do when you either randomly call people to sell them shit, or randomly call customers of the company to get on their ass about shit you could and would sell them. It's those grifty assholes that call you about a contract that you totally need while you already have a...

As I mentioned before, check to rule out cold calling. Can't imagine that's going to be so chill. But I prefer hot chocolate. Chuck's paying for it though, because we it's from the machine in the company kitchen. :blob_cookie:

I know that. But I had expectations for some reason. Now I'm going to continue to whine.

It's the most savage collection of R's, I tell ya. Anyway, this is a rant, so don't take it too seriously, but I didn't know where else to vent out my frustrations. I put my stories up on Royal Road, because I was told they were very vocal with their criticism and harshly honest. The HH of RR...

Well, that's sad. But you might find something similar in terms. Also, Chuck will likely sit in his big House in England somewhere and be like: Oh my word.

That's what I said. If you are actually capable and willing to learn, you don't need to know anything beforehand. They will guide you through it. I'm actually trained in customer service, but I will still receive mandatory communication training this week, because everyone needs to go through...

I understand that, but waiting is important. Only then can you come in with a fresh mind. Not waiting will render your editing process pointless.

Reminded me of why I don't play a lot of skill based games. I lack... skill. Anyway, I must admit I'm a user of DeepL to edit for the first time. It takes out some of the mistakes and I use it like a Thesaurus. Go through it, accept or don't accept the choices made and when I, on my own, just...

You find those literally everywhere. Go for support, especially rule out cold calling, because that sucks ass for the people you annoy, so I imagine it's not something you do without wanting to stab yourself in the gut. You don't need much but willingness to learn. Ordinarily, like my non-IT...

Do what I did when I wanted to flip off my company: quit and started doing Callcenter work. Well, the Callcenter I work at now is a bit on the fancier side, I guess, depending on how you imagine the job. We actually offer IT-Support in my office only, I can work at home and get all the tech I...

Yeah, I wasn't sure if you were linking those two things, that's why I threw that in. I disagree on the small publishers a bit. While, yes, they won't change core subjects to fit a mold, editors will stil do their thing. For example: When my editor went through my book, she really liked it. She...

I agree with most of the things you were saying and improving your writing is always a good thing, but I understood it would help in finding a publisher. If I got that wrong, I apologize in advance. But well, publishers don't actually care about how good your writing is. I'm not talking out of...
