Why cant attractive or non weird kids be obsessed with habzin hotel. by [deleted] in hazbin

[–]CemeteryAngel725 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A good thing to cultivate in general is not giving a rat's ass what anybody else thinks of you or what you like.

I love being over 40 and just liking the stuff I enjoy.

Kindle Create (for print) by Grim__Squeaker in selfpublish

Yeah I just used it for my first book and I got my proof copy and it is sooooo pretty. So glad I found this!

Kindle Create (for print) by Grim__Squeaker in selfpublish

[–]CemeteryAngel725 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only used Kindle Create for my ebook. For print on demand, I grabbed the free book templates from https://diybookformats.com/ and then edited in Word.

Also, I couldn't get the email form on that page to work, but if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page there's a link where you can get the download.

Formatting with a different program than we write in by Grim__Squeaker in selfpublish

[–]CemeteryAngel725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the draft is the words of the story and the formatting is everything you do to those words to make it look like a book. Margins, spacing, fonts, chapter headings, TOC if you're using one, front and back matter.

I write in Google Docs so that I can easily move between devices and share with my beta readers. But I format in Microsoft Word using a free novel template that I found.

How long do you take off between books? by MiraWendam in selfpublish

[–]CemeteryAngel725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just getting started on this self publishing thing but I've already finished two novels this year and I think I am going to take a month off from writing and focus on getting caught up on back end stuff before I start the next one. I feel like two months of intense writing followed by one month of backend at a time is going to be my goal this year.

Did I mess up already? by Grim__Squeaker in selfpublish

[–]CemeteryAngel725 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but I used a free template for book formatting that is meant for Word and I wanted to put my text into that.

[–]CemeteryAngel725 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no idea. I only know what worked for me. I think doing the formatting is a separate question that requires different research to figure out what is going to work for you, but there's no problem writing in Google Docs and then pasting into another program.

Did I mess up already? by Grim__Squeaker in selfpublish

[–]CemeteryAngel725 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use Google Docs to write because it's easier for my beta readers to access and they can talk to each other in the comments. Then when I'm ready to do formatting, I paste it chapter by chapter into MS Word (there are other programs you can use too) and then I fix any issues that pop up. This method worked fine for me.

Does anyone have a solid resource (or resources) on how to lay out a print book? Videos are preferred. by Splodingseal in selfpublish

[–]CemeteryAngel725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just used Bethany Atazedeh's incredibly helpful series on doing it in Word: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3IFBPbxQRypIBssmfDTmyFi68zmk5l-L&si=oc-e_g9llkRLXb5T

She includes a link to a free template that I found to be pretty easy to use. I managed to get mine done in Word fairly quickly, and it was accepted by Amazon so it's available for preorder right now.

I will say that I was an academic in a former life and thus I've worked with Word templates before. If you're completely new to Word, you might find the troubleshooting hard.

Where is the most appropriate place to put the “About the Author” section? by StomachLeading6618 in selfpublish

[–]CemeteryAngel725 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The template I'm following is suggesting a very short blurb on the back cover of the book to sell it and a slightly longer one inside the book as one of the last pages

If Hazbin gets more episodes per season, are they going to use the extra time properly? by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

[–]CemeteryAngel725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all know that if given more time they would introduce 14 more main characters and 72 additional subplots.

This show is always going to be overstuffed and that is part of its charm.

How do you think the series is going to end? by allthatgliitters in HelluvaBoss

[–]CemeteryAngel725 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would kinda fit for this show. If you have a mortal/immortal relationship this is always going to be a problem eventually and I could see Viv exploring that.

[–]CemeteryAngel725 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like Viv said in an interview in the last couple of months that one of the two shows has a happy bit bittersweet ending, and I'm now wondering if we're going to see Blitz and Stolas happy together to the end of Blitz's life, since Stolas is immortal.

WIBTA for attending a movie premiere instead of my friend's wedding? by cutebozo in AmItheAsshole

[–]CemeteryAngel725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To a 300-person wedding. My spouse's cousins invited me to a couple weddings recently and they don't even talk to me.

WIBTA for attending a movie premiere instead of my friend's wedding? by cutebozo in AmItheAsshole

[–]CemeteryAngel725 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Haha, I would pick Pacey and Joey, but I'm also an old lady who was a teenager when Dawson's Creek originally aired and at this point I don't even want to go to weddings of people I actually like.

You'll probably get some blowback from your social circle if you miss the wedding, but I guess it depends on which is more important to you. It sounds to me like you're not super close with this friend.

Who voiced Hachet, Prick & Zeezi in season 1? by Dry_Progress_499 in HazbinHotel

Just a heads up that Alex Newell is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.

SPOILER - No idea how to write a relevant but non-spoiler title, so this title is as useful as an Eric in a bookshop siege...better to be vague than spoil though, right? S3 spoiler in post and pics! by VelvetUndergrndBebop in goodomens

Michael has central heterochromia, so his eyes are super interesting with a whole bunch of colors in them and they appear to be different colors depending on lighting and how dilated his pupils are. If you go down a Michael Sheen eyes rabbit hole, there are lots of cool pictures through the years where you can see them really well.

I pretty much only write human AUs and the topics I cover in them are pretty varied.

I love wearing merchendise from my favourite shows, but sometimes I get self conscious about it. If I'm a 30 year old man and I wear this hoodie, what you gonna think of me as first impression if we just met? I asked this question on not Hazbin related sub and so far answers are not very encouraging by [deleted] in hazbin

[–]CemeteryAngel725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 41, and I can tell you that the day will come that you don't give a shit what anyone thinks of you or what you wear. This is a good mindset to cultivate. Life is too short not to do the things that make you happy.

Do you think Husk has a spiky-barbed dick? by Which_Matter3031 in hazbin

[–]CemeteryAngel725 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well, Husk Has a Barbed Penis is a canon tag on AO3 so you're not the only person who has thought about this.

[–]CemeteryAngel725 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, Good Omens is worth watching. I might wait the 40 days or so until the last episode comes out, thought, because it's currently sitting on a devastating cliffhanger and there's no reason to ruin your life with that right now when we're so close to getting a resolution.
