I recently DNF'd a book after getting through quite a bit of it and it reminded me of a convo I once had with my sisters.

We were pretty much on the same page about DNF-ing books we simply just weren't enjoying, as we all knew lots people who felt shackled to a book the minute they opened it. I was talking about how I only recently freed myself of that mindset and said something like "yeah, I got over 70% through a pretty boring book before I remembered I have free will and ditched it" One of my sisters then says if I got that far I might as well have seen it through???

lol anyways I was wondering how everyone else feels about this? Do you think there's a "cut-off" point where DNF-ing is ✌🏾allowed✌🏾 and if so what % do you think it is?

So this might be a bit controversial to ask, but I still wanted to know what others thought

So I currently am working on a novel and a comic project seperately. I'll publish them online at first and I hope to release physical versions of them too in the future

However a fearTM popped up about this. And that is if it's ok for me to continue using pagebound after all that

I know that most reader spaces don't like authors mingling with them, and I know that's mostly because of how certain authors respond badly to negative reviews (which I promise to handle them in a mature way)

But I do worry if it's like a general consensus for authors to not participate in reading spaces whatsoever, even if they were part of them in the past

I know some readers are also writers (like the book guy on yt) but I am not sure how expected that is in this site

Do be honest with your thoughts about this

I can't sleep so I'm gonna be nitpicky about a story I'm enjoying so far for no reason.

This novel is set in the 1800s but the phrase "letting something slide" is used. Is that an anachronism or has that saying always been around? I thought 'Sweeping under the rug' would have fit better?

Edit for added context: Also the fact it's rich white people is making me scratch my head a little more lol
