i joined writer twitter in an attempt to make some writer friends and learn about the publishing world and y'all it is LITERALLY worse than 2012 tumblr out there. every day i see the WORST takes of my entire life
#someone said ''it's obvious when a writer doesn't read''
#and APPARENTLY it is unforgivably ableist to expect people to write books to also read them!!!
#like how do you expect to be able to write a form of media you do not consume!!!!!
#like i am a proud owner of a broken ass brain i get that it's hard to read consistently but you still have to read SOMETIMES
#if you want to write books that are decent!!! i don't think that's ableist i think that's just how writing works!!!
#and then someone else was talking about finding comps (similar already published books) & was admittedly a lil snarky about it
#but apparently this is every single ism in the entire world!!!
#like i think there ARE books out there that don't have obvious comps! the publishing world is very westernized & straight & abled etc.!
#but most of the ppl yelling about this are literally writing fairytale retellings Except Now It's Two Princes™!!!
#like sweetie please go to your local barnes and noble you will find a hundred books you can use as comps i promise
#and then there's a bunch of ppl just straight up ignoring the fact that comps are not supposed to be 100% like ur novel!!!
#like. you can compare one element! oh both mcs are bisexual women with adhd! both books have themes of grief!
#and now everyone has decided that comps are bad and we shouldn't use them and implying we should makes you Bad
#i think comps can be useful. i think 90% of ppl who think their books have no comps have just not looked
#ughhHHH it's so annoying but i do get some good writing tips on here
