That's cool. Just keep at it. The more you write, the more you revise, the more you refine your voice. You're gonna get this. Never give up. Never surrender....oops...sorry...dropped into Galaxy Quest for a minute.
I have a friend who is a production editor for a publisher and she simply refuses to believe I'm not a good speller
"but you're a good writer"
one has nothing to do with the other, babes!! 🤣

A Sci-fi Romance by Ellie Rhymer
Representation Christi Cardenas
ALT Romantic pink and sci-fi neon and stars: Pitch. Good heists. Bad Decisions. Great Chemistry.
Anora is the quick-thinking manager of an illegal casino, fleeing the assassination of her gang's boss with the hyperspace treasure maps thrust into her hands as he died.
Jayro is a mouthy interstellar smuggler from the wrong side of the hyperspace lane with the only ship that can get Anora off Hecate IV before the emperor's relic-hunting space witches close a net around the planet.
The two bad-at-feelings bisexuals try to tamp down simmering, inconvenient attraction as they are forced to work together with the scrappy, tight-knit crew of the Helle Wanderer to survive in the criminal underworld and discover the secret at the end of the dangerous maps.
Their love story is a heist and they're stealing more than each other's hearts.

Jayro felt annoyance rising up in him again. The cockpit was his domain. Never mind that he agreed with her about the deco. “It took Fish weeks to get those programs running!”

“Gladly.” Jayro opened the channel on his wrist communicator.
“Yeah?” Fish’s voice responded.
“The new navigator is having trouble with her—” Jayro broke off as Anora grabbed his forearm and yanked his wrist in front of her own face, causing his chair to whirl towards her [...]

Always Get In a Spaceship With a Scoundrel by Ellie Rhymer.
Go independent. I struggled for years to find a mainstream publisher but hit a brick wall every time. I`m now having my 9th book published by Socciones in Wales, they do a fantastic job 😀
I haven’t managed to read more than a few words for almost a month. But I did finish Kingdom Come: Deliverance again, and wrote up my (extremely favourable) review, which you can find below:
The critique that it’s ‘too stream of consciousness’ suggests you might benefit from thinking about scene structure. Here’s a video about the purpose of scenes and how to build them that I have found helpful in the past: youtu.be/-2eNsEoOKso?si=mdbJ…
