With a colder head, my main issue is that I need an editor who is bilingual. The diction notes are on sentences that, upon re-reading them, are in spanish but translated to English. While the "good" sentences are the ones I put down directly in English and don't come from my first draft in spanish

The editing and technical notes are good but the setting ones feel like being whitesplained my own culture

I just got one of the weirdest feedback on the setting of my novel " The aztecs wouldn't have advanced technology or be able to do X " it kinda feels weirdly colonialistic. They are aztec inspired not historical since I have magical gravity rocks to power the technology

To my ttrpg friends. I need a mailing list service that does the next: Users can subscribe for updates on the general mailing list but can also choose to be part of Mailing list for X or Y project only. So that they can be segmented and if they don't like 5e they only get indie and viceversa

I find it interesting that in other places people associate brutalism with boredom, dryness, and oppression. Meanwhile, I like it because my high school and university were built in a brutalist style. Picture fo the Faculty of Science Tlahuizcalpan building where i used to play RPGs and Magic.

Randomly thinking of the one time I declared my love for Brutalism on the old app, and then some random person tried to cancel me bc they didn’t know what that word means.

Part of my job is writing Art Briefs for the art in the books. I usually include several pictures as a reference for key points of the art. I hate that AI has contaminated nearly every source of reference images, making them useless for briefs when you are using keywords for the Moodboard

I decided to open the Shopify store to do some QA, so I removed the password and made it public for 10 minutes, and somehow got a sale in those 10 minutes. I mean, I am not complaining, but I now need to send the PDF to that person before the book because that was what I was testing.
