*face buried in my hands* for the last time, please write your first book better if you’re going to be writing a series
#memorie.txt#.bookthoughts#i dont know what else to say. the amount of books i’ve read that are the first in a series that i didn’t realize#is… honestly more than i care to admit#but like. first books aren’t always this confusing!!!!!!!!#this isn’t the most egregious example i can think of but.. still. better pacing perchance?#rather than tossing revelations out in the last 25 pages and ending it w ‘book 2 out in a year!’#i don’t mean to be mean. but. aughhh.#i do think modern publishing does make writing a novel harder because of deadlines#and not allowing authors to further polish their works before publishing#i’ve read lots of books that needed another pass or two before being excellent#but the nature of the beast is that we have a month where ppl scribble out a novel + then do minimal edits to that novel before publishing#please. rewrite. it makes the novel stronger and cleans up pacing issues and other dropped plot threads#it’s what i’m doing w lots of my fics before posting#i wish i’d done it w the october fic but alas. here we are
