In my experiences, people who actually do really have supernatural abilities aren't going around advertising them.

In fact, they'd rather more people not know, lest they get exploited.

The ones out there flaunting super powers are all trying to either sell something or start a cult.

I mean you'd with the least amount of pressure possible but, would you ever think about writing a book? Every once and a while I remember how it felt reading Back to Us and I just wish I could read a story that was fully yours.

HAAAAAAA.

Friend.

Let me tell you a story about what was my writing journey post 2020 for me.

As some of you might know, I finished a book at the very end of 2020, by the title of Charlatans. It's an adult novel about three voodoo-touched adult siblings who make Faustian bargains to find their long-missing father in exchange for their hearts' deepest desires.

I was super proud of it. My first full-fledged novel, something I had always known I was capable of doing. The hard part was over.

Or so I thought.

See, to be a GOOD novelist, you have to let your work marinate. So that's what I did: I sat on it for a few months, not touching it at all, not even remembering that it existed. After those few months, I set to the hard work of editing.

When I tell you it is SO hard to edit a book you know is missing SOMETHING, but you have no idea what...ugh. And asking for beta readers was tasking, 'cause the thing was over 90K words. I did still ask, of course, but didn't really manage to get a lot of feedback at that time of editing.

Nevertheless! I pressed on. Started researching literary agents, fully aware that with a single project, you only get ONE shot with each agent.

I had a spreadsheet. I had my query letter. I had detailed notes on who to ask for and why. I was ready.

And so I started querying.

...The agents that didn't straight up ignore me gave me automated rejections. The agents that didn't do that gave me personal rejections.

And the one or two agents that actually bothered to ask AND read the whole manuscript?

They loved it!

Just...not enough to publish it.

So. Here I am, with a fully finished manuscript and no one looking to publish it. What do I do?

I put it away and go back to the drawing board, because clearly, I'm missing something. But since no rejection is personalized enough, I don't know WHAT.

Frustration makes me put it down, and I let it sit for a few more months.

Until #DVPIT.

For the uninitiated, #DVPIT is a literary event in which diverse prospective writers and established agents come together to discover new working relationships. The diverse writer has three chances to pitch their project throughout the day to agents, and if agents like your pitch, you may send them your query package. Cool, right?

I take the day off work. I have my pitches queued on my phone, ready to go. Throughout the day, I strategically post them at peak hours, keeping my fingers crossed for even one single agent's attention.

The event runs for an extra week to give agents a chance to read the thousands of pitches flooding the Discord channel. I wait.

No likes. Not a single one.

Now, this part I'm less bitter about, because 150 characters to describe my book? That's just ridiculous. And the comp titles to prove that people would like it? Ugggggh. Not an opportunity to really sell Charlatans.

But this means that, still, my first novel is without an agent. No agent, no publication.

So I put it away again and decide to move on.

And before you ask, yes, I did look into self-publishing. Still lowkey looking, but it's tough, since everything seems like a scam nowadays. And don't even get me started on the AI books being published.

I know you didn't ask for this rant, @hydrogen-ann and for that, I apologize. But TL;DR: a published book is currently a pipe dream for me, though not for lack of trying.

Bitterness aside, thank you so, so much. I'm so happy you'd be interested in something original of mine. If I ever push Charlatans out the door/find the time to write an entirely NEW novel, I'll be sure to let you know 💜

#reyna replies #hydrogen-ann #charlatans #I talk a bit more about charlatans on this blog #you can look up the tag here if you want #this was a nice ask to read regardless of my feelings about my og work rn #I always feel like I do my best writing in someone else's sandbox but who knows?#still having fun with my fics at the very least 🤷🏾‍♀️

Saw RIDE and the Charlatans earlier this month (absolutely fantastic show) and got me digging out this 'best of' from the early 2000s. I picked it up at Record Store Day several years ago.

MAN FINDS MEANING

“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” —Henry David Thoreau, USA philosopher/poet (1817–1862) Not many of my likers and lurkers will read this (A long one, even for me) as the text part is not on Facebook or Instagram. The cut and paste link is, but I know that only a few—sometimes fewer—folks make the effort. That’s OK, not that I wouldn’t mind some positive reinforcement…

Backstabber Watch: The Abyss of Belial

Backstabber Watch focuses on the Children of Belial: Despicable Backstabbers & Dirty Double-Crossers.

Let those who are experts at cursing— whose cursing could rouse Leviathan— curse that day. Job 3:8 (NLT)

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. James 3:9 (NIV)

Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 (NLT)

“Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?” “Therefore behold,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who steal from one another words they attribute to Me.” “Yes,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and proclaim, ‘The LORD declares it.’ ” “Indeed,” declares the LORD, “I am against those who prophesy false dreams and retell them to lead My people astray with their reckless lies. It was not I who sent them or commanded them, and they are of no benefit at all to these people,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 23:29-32 (BSB)

“And now, you priests, this warning is for you. If you do not listen, and if you do not resolve to honor my name,” says the LORD Almighty, “I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not resolved to honor me." Malachi 2:1-2 (NIV)

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And there were open books, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books. Apocalypse 20:12 (BSB)

And if anyone was found whose name was not written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Apocalypse 20:15 (BSB)

Notes

Due to the mic's Lightning connection getting jostled, Ride wasn't recorded, except for the very start, which was mostly done with the native iPhone capture. I actually go there at the end of Kaleidoscope, and only captured the transition between that song and In A Different Place, which is in the 24/48 version (this).

Think this is well an above-average capture for me, was situated in the back part of the venue about lined up with the stage left stacks, a bit behind the fourth chandelier on the right hand side…folks around me were mostly quiet/behaving.

Never heard B10&11 and frankly, don't really care to again. [ed. note: this stance has changed a bit since this show, do prefer their first album though] But good on the band for coming out and putting in a shift. One to cross off the bucket list as having finally seen live…even if TOOIK is nearly TOOIK…though I do recognize a few others like Jesus Hairdo and Sportston Green.

MSM is NOT a Miracle Cure, but a legally available NERVE-TOXIN !!!

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic Sulfur Compound (the oxidated Form of a By-Product of the Paper-Industry: DMSO) , propagated by the American Chemists Dr. Robert M. Herschler and Dr. Stanley W. Jacobs from Portland, Oregon (in his Book "the Miracle of MSM") as a Miracle Cure, and so unfortunately it was received completely untested and uncritically introduced here in Europe. MSM is a NERVE TOXIN from the active Substance Group of CHOLINESTERASE INHIBITORS, which also include some Insecticides (E 605) and most of the chemical Warfare Agents (Novichok, Sarin, Tabun, Soman, VX,...).

The real "Miracle of MSM" is how this highly dangerous Substance with its unspeakable Side-Effects made it through the otherwise ridiculously STRICT Health and Safety Controls of Germany WITHOUT encountering any Obstacles ! Another "Miracle" of the MSM is that on the entire Internet NOTHING can be read, but the purest, most uncritical Propaganda, according to which MSM is allegedly "well tolerated", ... allegedly is "well-known and proven secure since the Middle Ages, coming from the USA”, ...allegedly helps with Cancer, Plague, Leprosy, Cholera, Malaria, AIDS, Death & Decay, ...allegedly helps to detoxify the Body, ...and allegedly CANNOT be OVERdosed !

The FACT is, that MSM ITSELF is a severe Poison. As a Cholinesterase-Inhibitor, it acts directly on certain Neurotransmitters (Acetylcholine) respectively their dismantling Enzymes (Cholinesterase), and unfortunately also penetrates the defensive "Blood-Brain Barrier" of the Brain.

Unfortunately, MSM is also recommended on the Internet in UNRESPONSIBLY high Doses: While the German medical Professionals suggest a MAXIMUM daily Dose of 50 mg, as long as NO long-term studies are available about MSM, many Charlatans & Quacks on the Internet inconsiderately instruct you to take a daily Dose of 2,000 mg to even 9,000 mg without Hesitation !!!!

The ONLY website that warns fairly, critically and responsibly about the Side- Effects of MSM:

----------------------------------------------------------

possible MSM Side-Effects:

----------------------------------------------------------

mild to severe Depression,

(Deep) Exhaustion, (Life-) Tiredness,

Tachycardia, Heart Palpitations

Anxiety / Panic Attacks

Insomnia,

emotional Blockades in the Brain,

Chest Tightness,

Pains,

Rashes / Hives,

digestive Problems,

----------------------------------------------------------------

But MSM is not just a Neurotoxin-Powder... No, MSM is so much MORE than that alone:

MSM is a highly multiple-toxic SYSTEM, consisting of false, irresponsible “Friends”, unfair, one-sided, irresponsible Propaganda, as well as an inbelievable total Failure of the Safety Authorities and the Customer-Protection-Agencies in Charge !

Ministering with Integrity: Trusting the Lord to Provide

The apostle Paul was committed to the Lord and to the ministry to which he was called. The Lord was faithful to provide for him and to meet his basic needs. Sometimes others supported Paul and his ministry, and in this way, were conduits of God’s grace. At others times, Paul’s needs were met when God opened doors for him to have employment. Either way, God provided. And Paul trusted the Lord,…
