- @Binati_Sheth | Figuring out Romance Tropes in BooksClick here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
"Because romance books are very, very easy to read. So you don't really have to pause and think. You just have to read, enjoy, move on. And b, these books are written exclusively for the readers, the audiences, for entertainment purposes. You are not supposed to suddenly start believing in love after you read a romance book."5 min - @Binati_Sheth | Me talking about Ali Hazelwood books with friendsClick here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
"Nor romance. Yeah. And who noticed the nice impression she gave to the word cute? Yes, cute. It is cute. Let's review. Let's review beneath. The books are genuinely so cute because it's like, you know, we talk about the female gaze and this the book. Ali is even under a pseudonym. She is a woman. We often talk about what is important to women, right?"4 min - @Binati_Sheth | Don’t make my mistake - Rely on others and ask for helpClick here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
"But now that I recognize that this is an issue, one of the first things I did is I reached out to a friend and I said, you know, help me. Because right now I'm just done with ghost writing as a whole, because reasons. But I don't want to do that anymore. I just want to edit books now and have enough time to work on my own project."5 min - @Binati_Sheth | Sunk cost fallacies and focusClick here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
"So instead, if I focus on this, let me just step back for a little bit and nothing spam people with absolutely horrible posts and instead just step aside and complete the work, learn what I need to, and then come back when I have time. I think that is a pretty cool way to navigate all the issues that social media content creation probably creates in people's life with regard to burnout and degrading quality and being repetitive, etcetera, etcetera."5 min - @Binati_Sheth | The cure to burnout is...Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
"And he was trying to think of things from the make exceptional success happen in your professional life point of view and not physics is so cool. I want to find more answers. Point of view. And so he decides after a conversation with Hans Besser to have fun with physics. And his burnout just went away. Because, see, the burnout was preventing him from being good at his job. And the counter he found for that is I'll have fun at my job."5 min - @Binati_Sheth | Always read the fine print (free lunches don’t exist, even in book publishing)Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
"And because they are charging for every bit of it, you will ask for explanations that why, why here and why there is on Amazon, you are technically not being charged up front. So you don't really ask any questions. You just hit I accept. And then later on you end up, you know, having a loss. So know that every form of book publishing involves risks. The risk is being taken by the publisher."5 min - @Binati_Sheth | Books that shift your perspective without intending to do soClick here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
"Murasaki Shikibu is one of the first novelists that we know of. She wrote Kenji no Monogatari or tales of Kenji, which is, let's just say, inspired by her life as a lady in the high courts to write this book, she was actually involved in the courts and she used to journal about what she saw. Now, a lot of the journal, the Shiki Boniki, has been destroyed because it's old, right? You are talking about the first novelist ever, period."5 min - @Binati_Sheth | The (untrue) Archimedes storyClick here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
"He was like, I shall do storytelling because why not? Future Kepachito Karangi, the kids of the future are going to do this. I am a trailblazer. I will do storytelling before they even conceptualize the concept. Yes. Galileo Galilee when he was young, because Galileo had academic interest, so he used to read a lot of things. When he read Vituvius's books. He was like, what the hell is this Archimedes story?"5 min - @Binati_Sheth | Write freely, Edit under constraintsClick here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
"And you assume if you don't give your readers that something, they're going to get mad at you and they are not going to read your work again. Things like your focus shifts from writing to the result of writing. And just like that, you stop writing because your focus has shifted to fitting your work in a box. To cite a cliche, you are trying to fit a square peg in a round hole."5 min - @Binati_Sheth | Two questions: How do you discover books and then how do you review them?Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
"It doesn't matter how popular or well recommended or under recommended or criticized the book is, if it catches my eye, I'm going to pick it up. And that's basically what I chase as my book discovery system. It has to seem interesting to me and then I generally don't dnf books. Like, I don't think I have ever DNF'd a book I endure or enjoy or both through the book, and then I sit down to review it."5 min
