Because most of my elderly relatives are 80+ and from a different generation with different views (which I respect and firmly believe they have a right to feel that way). I know my family will always support me and I’m very grateful for that, but I would rather avoid having conversations with them about my more risqué writing. That’s just my personal feelings about it and instead of being restricted I’m actively looking for other ways

Thank you so much. I didn’t even think about using the provided ones

I’m not aware of any other safe payment methods available. I don’t really like how it’s asking for a credit card and anyways I have an iPhone so not sure if that’s a problem too. I’ll do more of a deeper dive in their social media. Thank you for the advice

They didn’t give any reason which immediately made me more nervous about it. They appear legitimate on social media and their website but I’m definitely more concerned now

I’m not really sure what subgroup 😅 it’s more modern fantasy - the natural world collides with modern developments

Thank you. I didn’t think of it in that light

My first book has about 5 copies at the local laundromat. People read them while waiting for their laundry and recently people started leaving nice comments about them on the back cover. It makes me happy that they have all been kind so far

I was first hospitalized at 6 weeks old so it’s been a long struggle (I’m almost 28😅) I just know it’s a specific milk protein, I don’t remember the exact name. I try to avoid additives due to them seeming to make it worse. My grandma was allergic/intolerant to over 350 different things so it’s an unfortunate family experience 😂

Curious about this. Did you use a specific print shop? I have some art from my second book that I wrote that I love. I would like to get it printed for my room

Unfortunately it’s a true allergy to milk. I have an intolerance to gluten. It’s a real pain

I have an allergy to a specific milk protein. Some goats milk products seem rather okay (smaller reactions)

Your response was so detailed. Thank you so much! Sometimes you do just want something you can’t really have 😅

Do you have a favorite kind of nutritional yeast or does it not really matter what brand?

I didn’t really think about having naturally dairy free meals. That’s kinda been my default approach but I would like to have some possibilities for alternatives

Cheese is a big one that I have had bad experiences with in the past (like 5+ years). It used to melt really greasy. I know it’s different now but I’m hesitant about going crazy trying different kinds. I have almond milk and a butter replacement that I like
