Editorial Review came back.
So I was correct to put mature warning. They enjoyed it… For a middle novel.
So before I launch any website I have to go back and revamp it so it fits a first book feel
rather than a middle of the series vibe.

….
Think of it like what happens if you wrote the two towers
Before the fellowship of the ring.
Or Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix before harry potter and the philosopher’s stone.
Or even the empire strikes back

It sounds like they want a bit of world building or stage setting up front.

Well, not super bad then, I mean, there’s a certain popular film franchise that started off with episode number four.

I have never been so insulted as when a cousin brought vegan turkey to thanksgiving. I woke up at 4 to get started and this person brings vegan turkey… And no no one is vegan in the family.
Words were said.

To measure or not to measure, that’s the debate
Some dishes, this ain’t required, like number of bacon strips to cut up for the scrambled eggs. Some flavoring ingredients, like cinnamon or vanilla or even garlic, can be easily increased in measure, so for french toast, I’ll eyeball it. That soda mix I made, that required the syringes. And the rocket propellant, that required the digital scale down to the milligram precision.

I remember asking my grandmother how much of a seasoning she used, and she cupped her hand and said, ”This much.” Drove my mother nuts, but I totally understood it. I just had her measure it out and pour it into my hand. Worked like a charm!

“Looks about right” is really a unit of measure, really, I swear

Word order seems to vary substantially among languages. According to linguist John McWhorter, there are even a few languages in which the order of words is meaningless; they have other mechanisms for identifying subject vs object, etc.

If I remember correctly, Japanese is one of those languages where the word order isn’t fixed. It’s not meaningless, but the word order isn’t nearly as fixed as it is in English
