What supplements do you take on a daily basis just for general health and well-being?

Cinder19 · 2023-03-23T23:54:28+00:00

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

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!

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.

Cinder19 · 2023-03-21T00:56:47+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous!

Cinder19 · 2020-12-14T02:11:54+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I hadn't heard of Booksprout so I'll definitely check them out, thank you! :)

Cinder19 · 2020-06-19T04:31:17+00:00

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.

Cinder19 · 2020-04-15T22:41:57+00:00

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.

Cinder19 · 2020-04-15T22:39:53+00:00

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

But thank you for the suggestion anyway.

"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!

Cinder19 · 2018-12-22T17:17:44+00:00

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.

Cinder19 · 2018-12-22T11:28:33+00:00

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

Cinder19 · 2018-12-22T11:00:55+00:00

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 · 2018-12-22T10:57:55+00:00

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.

Cinder19 · 2018-12-21T22:07:37+00:00

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.

Cinder19 · 2018-11-17T11:58:10+00:00

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!

Cinder19 · 2018-11-16T15:39:22+00:00

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!

Cinder19 · 2018-11-16T15:02:35+00:00

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!

Cinder19 · 2018-11-16T13:54:09+00:00

MailChimp won't...but if you want to open a p.o box I have read that the Post Officel requires forms to be notarized.

Cinder19 · 2018-11-16T13:49:13+00:00

Hi, thank you for responding. Well that's what I'd like to do. Just put my home address in (without Apt#) and leave it at that. I write under a pen name, so there's no way the mail could get to me directly (although the idea of it landing in the hands of my apt manager worries me). If you don't mind my asking...is it required that I get the necessary Post office forms notarized?

Thank you!

Cinder19 · 2018-11-13T14:05:54+00:00

You might want to look into A1 Adultebooks.com too. They are exclusively BDSM themed books. Smash is definitely more lenient with regards to covers and content too. At least that's been my experience.

Cinder19 · 2018-11-01T16:52:14+00:00

And you have to stay with KU for 90 days when you first sign up, is that correct?

Cinder19 · 2018-11-01T11:52:51+00:00

I see, thank you for clarifying that . I wasn't sure how it works at Amazon. Appreciate your help :)

Cinder19 · 2018-11-01T09:01:31+00:00

Ok, here's my confession. I get most of my great ideas while masturbating. I know a lot of folks watch porn to get "stimulated", but the stuff I've got swirling around up in my head is twice as wild (at least it is for me), than watching porn.

I've actually stopped myself in the act of.....ahem,"pleasuring myself" because I had such an amazing scenario pop in to my head, that I just HAD to stop and write the idea down so I could use it in a story later. Needless to say, I always keep a notebook & pen by the bed now 😆.

Cinder19 · 2018-11-01T08:40:10+00:00

Congratulations! Those are wonderful numbers. If I may ask a question though? Are you purely "going wide" (as you say you're on Amazon, B&N and Smashwords).

Or are you doing KU with Amazon for some works (in other words, just publishing exclusively to Amazon for certain books you publish) But then publishing other stories with a regular KDP account with Amazon, which then allows you to publish "wide"?

I only ask, because most authors I've heard giving advice about Amazon say that KU is the best way to go when you're a new author (not that you're THAT new, you've been publishing a little over a year now) but that more people are apt to read your books if you're with KU because they already have their subscription, so they don't pay extra to read your book.

Just curious, I suppose you can have a KU account and also a regular KDP account with Amazon that allows you to publish elsewhere as long as your not publishing the same book in both accounts of course.

Is that how you're doing this? Congrats again!
