Once Miranda was out of earshot, Mindy turned to Edith. “I mentioned this morning that I'm still thinking about it." "Still thinking? I brought this up three months ago. You said you'd consider it, and I've given you time, but now it's been months and you still haven't givena clear answer." Mindy frowned. "We've worked together for years. You know I write short to mid-length suspense thriller , about 200,000 to 300,000 words. Now you wantto switch to writing web , which just doesn't fit my style!" "But aren't they all ? How can they not fit? Literature is universal; there's no such thing as a mismatch!" Edith's tone becmore serious, and her smile disappeared.

Mindy said, "First, web are usually really long, often over a million words. Second, genres like urban romance and rich-guy s aren't my specialty. How am I supposed to write those? "Isn't the trouble with 'The Green Fruit' enough of a lesson? You toldto change what I was doing, but look what happened." "The Green Fruit" was Mindy's young adult that got a lot of criticism.

Edith's expression softened as she spoke, "I know that hurt your reputation and that you've had a tough tsince, even leaving online platforms..." "Yes, and if you know I left online platforms, why are you still askingto write those romance ?" "Mindy, don't get upset. Just listen to me," Edith said calmly. "The Green Fruit' didn't do well because you took too long to finish it. By the tit was published, trends had changed. When I suggested you shift to something else, the young adult genre was still popular "So, it's not fair to put all the blon me, right? You have sresponsibility too, and so do we all. I'm not trying to avoid responsibility: I'm just trying to figure out what went wrong." Mindy stayed quiet. She admitted she wrote slowly and wasn't good at the genre Edith was suggesting. Her ideas often felt all over the place, making it hard to write faster.

Seeing Mindy's hesitation, Edith continued, "This tis different. Urban romance and rich-guy s are always popular online. It doesn't matter if you write fast or slow. I promise we won't have the sproblems as before." Mindy frowned more. "I read the web you gave me. They're fast-paced and exciting but sometimes too exaggerated. The start is interesting, but the story gets weaker as it goes on, and sometimes the characters' names even change after a million words.

"I'm not saying web are bad-they're popular for a reason. But I'm not suited for it,”

Edith's expression turned serious. "So after all this, you're just going to say 'I'm not suited for it? That's your answer?" +25 BONUS Chapter 0132

" Mindy looked confused. "What else can I say? I'm just not suited for it.

Edith laughed coldly, “Do I need to make it clear? Here it is: In the last ten ben years, you've only written one book, and it didn't sell well. If you don't cup with new work soon, what's the point of being an author?"
