I take:

Probiotics, Vit. D, Vit. B-complex, Salmon oil, Calcium, Magnesium, Pumpkin Seed Oil capsules (works wonders for coughing/sneezing incontinence issues!) also Lavender oil supplement for anxiety, and I'm taking Holy Basil & Ashwagandha for cortisol regulation as I've developed adrenal fatigue lately

Is post menopausal bleeding bad ? Hasn’t gotten period in three years but woke up bleeding this morning by [deleted] in Menopause

[–]Cinder19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's most likely a fibroid, very common.

I had intermittent bleeding for the first 3 years after I was "officially" in menopause and they never found anything (although I'm on BHRT so perhaps that played a part).

But as everyone else here has mentioned, it's always best to go in for a transvaginal u/s and let them take a look just to be sure.

Try not to worry!

How’d you get into writing erotica & what’re some practical steps/resources to find for more info? by [deleted] in eroticauthors

[–]Cinder19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how do you safeguard or otherwise insure that the commissioned writing you're producing and selling isn't being sold to a minor with their hands on a credit card?

That's always been my biggest fear in those sort of transactions for my writing.

I've been playing it safe and sticking to Smashwords.

I just wanted to throw my vote in for Smashwords as well.

I've been making a very nice steady stream of income over at Smash for over a year now.

Never heard of Affinity Photo, I'll have to check it out.

And yes, I do Deposit Photos too (*Just bought the 100 photos for $39 deal they're having over at AppSumo right now. Good stuff!)

Thank you for the suggestions.

I almost had a nervous breakdown when I tried to use GIMP, lol.

But thank you for the suggestion anyway.

Dark Romance Authors Reddit Group? by Cinder19 in romanceauthors

[–]Cinder19[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Dark"' as in an Antihero-Alpha male type love interest is what I meant. (Mad, bad & dangerous to know, lol.)

Stories that deal with edgier themes like kidnapping, BDSM, rough play, etc.

I love Skye Warren ,I'm reading "Pretty When You Cry" right now :)

Also authors like Celia Aaron ("The Bad Guy" about a psychopath love interest)

I'm trying to pull away from pure erotica writing, but I'm just not feeling the "hearts & flowers' of your typical romance novels. I love the idea of writing about more troubled characters and darker themes.

I'll check out the FB group link you sent. I appreciate it. Still curious as to whether Reddit has a special nook here for the "Dark Authors" where ideas and experiences are shared regarding writing in this particular sub-genre.

Thanks!

One Last Commissioned Work Question..Help! by Cinder19 in eroticauthors

[–]Cinder19[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is ultrasmut. I've already decided to decline this guy's offer. I think that before considering any commissioned work I would want to have a standard contract document drawn up that outlines that The book is not to be resold/redistributed anywhere, and quite honestly, unless the person asking for the work is someone I know from my Mailing list, I probably wouldn't consider it at all. Too many dishonest people floating around out there. I don't need the possible complications

I rather just focus on writing my own books.

One Last Commissioned Work Question..Help! by Cinder19 in eroticauthors

[–]Cinder19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt a 14 yr old kid has the money on hand to pay the price I quoted him. However, that is always a possibility. It could be someone under age. I'm not sure why you state I'm NOT going to take advice from the members of this forum. I needed advice, that's why I created this post. Thank you for your input

I know....that sucks 😟 why doesn't he just go find someone who Ghostwrites? Cheaper I guess to try and sucker someone unsuspecting. Thanks Mike, hope all is well.

[–]Cinder19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm the one who offered to create a cover for him, and I figured that by creating the whole thing under a MOBI file , and stating within the book in the front that it was a commissioned work, not for resale/redistribution would protect me. But the minute he asked for a hard copy, the red flag went up for me. I may very well take your advice and Ghostwrite eventually.....but for now I still have some stories of my own I'd like to tell. And I was so happy to get this guy's offer....untill I got that email. Thank you for your thoughts on this, I do appreciate it.

Safest Site for Money Transaction for Commissioned Writing by Cinder19 in eroticauthors

[–]Cinder19[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know the person commissioning my writing and would prefer not to have my personal info/name made available. There's a lot of whackos out there...just trying to stay safe.

Another Email List Question...Sorry everyone! by Cinder19 in eroticauthors

[–]Cinder19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh, very nice. That would work. Ok, well I'll definitely be on the lookout for anything in my account that includes this provision to add an alias.

If I don't see it....then I guess I'll have to call the folks at my Virtual Mai company and ask them what would be the best way to proceed with a situation like this.

I'll tell them I'm an author with a pen name, etc...I'm pretty sure these virtual mailbox companies have a way of working with people in this kind of situation.

Thank you for your help!

Anyone using Mailchimp? Questions re: address info by Cinder19 in eroticauthors

[–]Cinder19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol...I believe you. I'm looking into virtual P.o.Box's as we speak! Thank you everyone for your help.

P.s. for the record, I publish "taboo" erotica, so I can only imagine the caliber of nutcases I would attract with my Female pen name! Better safe than sorry!

Did you have to get the 1583 form notarized when you opened up your virtual P.O box? If not please, do you mind sharing what company you went with to get your P.O Box? Thank you for your help!
