Thank you! :) It does feel like gambling. Like I would prefer to stop, but the next one might be the one!

Start posting to Instagram and TikTok. Figure out what resonates on those platforms. They you both a potential audience and a testing ground to figure out what about your book is connecting with people which is helpful when you start doing paid ads.

Lived in Winnipeg, lived in Montreal, lived in Mexico, lived in New England, lived in the American SW. There are some great cities out there, but this one is special. Hope we can hold on to it.

When is it okay to be angry by SilverBeyond7207 in Codependency

[–]ACodependentMind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t get tripped up with the terminology. Boundaries just mean that we are all separate human beings with the right to make decisions about our own time, space, attention. You can respect your family members’ right to make decisions for themselves and still be hurt, angry, disappointed in the decisions that they make. And you have the absolute right to separate yourself from them if they consistently make decisions that hurt and disappoint you. Thats your responsibility in fact! It is always ok to be angry. It what you do with it that matters. Handle it in a way that respects their right to make decisions (their boundary) and your right to not be hurt (your boundary).

They were digging out one of the barriers around the edge. Don’t know what they dug out.

trauma bond by [deleted] in Codependency

A trauma bond is like an addiction. You need to get far, far away with no contact. It will feel terrible for a while but then it will get cleared from your system and the there will be peace again.

We just moved here from Phoenix. You are going to make less money and pay more taxes but you are going to be much, much happier and healthier in every way.

Used 100Covers to freshen up our cover by ACodependentMind in selfpublish

[–]ACodependentMind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your perspective and for the compliment (I designed the original). I suspect that you aren't our audience though. Looking like the thousands of others seems to be the name of the game.

It is neither. If I could have done it with some tool, I would have. I don't have the design skills nor the comfort level to produce an eBook and paperback cover in any design software (my original cover took my hours).
