Is this a screenshot of a Reddit post of a screenshot of a Twitter thread about people who want you to know they’re involved in literature? I’m just checking. You guys see the same thing, right? This isn’t some kind of software bug or dimensional rift?

Fits right in with the “screenshots are not memes” memes flooding lemmy today.

Looks to me like some karma farmers figured out the Lemmy API

I posted it but I don’t know what lemmy api is, and there’s no karma here. I’m just trying to get this community going and rn stealing post from Reddit is the easiest way.

It’s honestly pretty impressive she writes best selling books with her eyes closed and without ever proofreading them.

It’s not the author’s job to proofread. Editors do that.

Well sure but authors do still proofread, they don’t just hammer out a first draft and send that to their editor without reading it. And I was talking more about proofreading for story consistency, not spelling and grammar.

Having taken two round-trips by air recently, I can honestly say that my .epub reader got quite the workout!

I made a comment on a post about life before smartphones that I can remember throwing a strop as a child because my parents would only let me take 7 hardback library books on a two week holiday. The struggle was real!
