I think if you go to all the effort of writing, editing, publishing, and distributing a book, you should make sure it’s what you want the world to read. Rewriting your book after the fact is either lazy or pandering in my view.

I respect both pronunciations of gif, but saying that the g should be the same as graphical because that’s what it stands for is and always has been laughable. Thats not how acronyms work at all, all you have to do is think of a few.

When you put in your PIN at the register, is it your “pin” or your “pine”? Because the I stands for identification. Same with SIM, it’s not a “sime” card.

If you go SCUBA diving, is it pronounced “scuh-ba” or “scooba”? Because the U is for underwater.

How about CAPTCHA? Should it be “cahpt-k-ha” or “captcha”? Or POTUS is “pot-yoos”?

Less nonsense names. Like Sir Eldenefijerburi went to the little town of Grimfirnutsbadde to buy some sunretretten for dinner. That’s unfortunately pretty common in fantasy, and I think it needs to be taken down like 3 notches lol.

More adventure in the adventure. I feel like a lot of characters “fast travel”, which in some contexts is fine. But sometimes it’s used to make them jump from town to town to move the story along without actually going through the journey

Strange and weird as it is, the Outlander books. I guess it’s because I was reading about a different time period with entirely different troubles. I would lay in my hammock (indoors) with a small portable heater underneath me, all cozied up with pillows and blankets and read book after book. It was a pretty okay time :)

Libraries is a great idea. I live in a tiny town with a tiny library, and they still have a whole room of books for sale.

Goodwill also has cheap books, but won’t have a great collection
