Figuring out Romance Tropes in Books

Binati Sheth ·

2024/10/22

Click 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."

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?"

Click 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."

Sunk cost fallacies and focus

Click 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."

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."

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."

Click 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."

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?"

Write freely, Edit under constraints

Click 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."

2024/03/19

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."

Christina reached out in the personal messages of Swell to talk about this particular review of Courage to be disliked that I dropped on Goodreads and she was wondering why my review reads the way that it does. More specifically, why I say that the book is difficult to read and yet it is a fantastic read. She has questions along this lines of why I say that it is a reader's job to extract value and not a writer's

Let's talk about the first invasion of privacy case brought on on a book in Japan by the book after the banquet by the author Yukio Mishima. So Yukiyo Mishima was known for being.

But what all of these good products and bad mediocre products have in common is excellent sales messaging. Every single product, whether the product is good or not, they get their sales and marketing done really well. So how exactly are you supposed to know whether what product you are investing in is

Proceed with caution, because I think not everyone is okay with what I am about to suggest. My suggestion is delete it all. Hello. Swell. And to day on radical advice you didn't ask for, but you are receiving it anyway. Because I think there are parts of the writer life that nobody talks about."

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "So this is the technique that is surprisingly used in online discourse a lot, because you will see influencers, intellectuals, and I am sure I have fallen victim to using Morton Bailey sometime as well, specifically when it comes to things I'm very, very emotional about, like new authors being attacked, things of the sort, no matter how intentional I try to be about the words. You can very easily fall prey to Morton Bailey, because Morton Bailey, by definition

But in a sense, the point is, death is written in a way that a lot of people don't write it. Under the creative genius of Yukiyo Mishima. This is where me and Tim, specifically from Japan, expert insights, got to talking to each other. And we were like, let's do a live about death. And I was like, fine, I absolutely don't mind."

The Hugo 2023 controvery is just infuriating

Binati Sheth ·

2024/01/24

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "No, this time it is so much worse. This is actually, I think, a controversy that is not going to get as popular as other controversies, like two authors fighting each other and things of the sort. I think a lot of this controversy will be swept under the rug. But the crux of it is, for the first time, one of the biggest democratic award shows in the world, which awards quality and awards what the audience wants."

My name is … mosquito murderer

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "I discovered a hidden talent when I had to get rid of some mosquitoes without using any chemical agents or making those snappity snap, clappy clap sounds, where we just go clapping around, hoping to get lucky. So rather than a hidden talent, this would be a technique. And I don't know what was going through my head. I was so young, I don't even remember exactly what it was, but I remember the effects of this technique. So this is what you do."

Process the plagiarism

Binati Sheth ·

2023/12/09

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "Many instances, lawyers, an email going from a lawyer's email ID to the person who has plagiarized your work, that is enough to kind of scare them to take the work down, right? So have somebody who can legally advise you and then maybe speak on your behalf to the person who has plagiarized you so that the person who's plagiarized you knows that you know, and you could do something about the plagiarism."
