On a completely separate note, If I were to ever one day decide to write my own original story/ stories and put it out for the world to see, what do you reckon would be the best way to self-publish? 👀

An amazing video by @xiranjayzhao on the realities of the traditional publishing industry which I think is worth watching and pondering upon. I think it's unfortunate that the main criteria for books to be even considered being taken on by these institutions is how 'marketable' the book is rather than the quality of the writing itself.

Writing is indeed an invaluable art form and indeed a skill that takes months if now years to perfect. Sure, for a book to sell it must be marketable but isn't that the challenge? To make something that is ostensibly 'unmarketable' into something that is? IMO Selling books based soley on tropes devalues the skill that is good writing, specifically the merits and commentary it brings on and to greater society and reading audiences as a whole.

Don't even get me started on the bureaucracy and the politicking I can imagine that comes with trying to get published (probably par for the course even💀)

Here’s something I made for the Felix fans-

[klmwrites]

Honestly I’m shocked that there is no fanfics of Adler and Felix I remember when modern warfare came out the ghost and konig x reader would come out in seconds

i’m fascinated by russell adler, by the man he is — so cold, so distant, so mysterious, so enigmatic. and i love exploring the idea of being his wife, exploring what it's like to be married to him. for me, russell adler is a devoted and faithful husband to his wife — you —, he never shows it in public, always remains impenetrable and cold, but he is very protective of her, he loves her « more than sharks love blood » (to quote frank underwood). he’s loyal to his wife. i like to think that the couple he forms with her is powerful, indestructible. they are loyal and devoted to each other — their marriage is dark, dangerous, they are a team. and i want to explore all that.

New Chapter of Groundhog Day has just been posted! 👇

If Russell Adler was not a CIA clandestine officer, he probably would have been a model for high end fashion/ magazine shoots (and a pretty darn good one too! 😉)
