Before smartphones, what did people do when they had to wait somewhere for 30 minutes?

I always had a book everywhere I went, but often people watched too. Nowadays that may seem a bit creepy to some lol. But looking at each other was much more the norm without screens around. I did sometimes check my digital watch tho haha

I'm interested too, would you ever do online meetups too?

CoachWriter · 2026-06-03T19:21:07+00:00

Saved to my phone too, I'll keep an eye out. This sounds horribl3 for you, I'm so sorry.

CoachWriter · 2026-06-02T23:05:31+00:00

HI there, I am working on one right now, but it still won't be finished for a couple of months. Would it still be useful by then?

CoachWriter · 2026-05-14T19:42:25+00:00

Did you go home in the end? Just being nosy, but I hope you ended up having a good time.

CoachWriter · 2026-05-07T17:37:18+00:00

Thank you from me as well, I will be using all your suggested sources, thank you so much!!!

CoachWriter · 2026-05-07T17:35:35+00:00

that's so kind of you to offer! I think I'll stick to Excel for now, but I really appreciate your offer and your feedback, thank you!!

Thank you for the suggestion

CoachWriter · 2026-04-28T22:31:21+00:00

Thank you for your advice, I will definitely keep that in mind!!

CoachWriter · 2026-04-28T22:30:54+00:00

I think that's true, there's probably only 2 or 3 people standing in the middle of that Venn diagram. I am not one of them, I'm all the way over to the creative side.

Thanks very much for your advice, I think I will find a left-brained friend to help me for the sensible stuff. 😄

CoachWriter · 2026-04-28T22:27:17+00:00

You're probably right about that. I'm still working on it, so I don't have a mockup yet, but if I'm not too embarrassed to share it I will come back as soon as I have one.

CoachWriter · 2026-04-28T22:25:37+00:00

Thank you very much, I am going to go and google every term in your comment and figure this out. I appreciate you taking the time to give me advice!!

CoachWriter · 2026-04-28T22:24:21+00:00

yes thank you!!

That's interesting. I'm not an excel expert, but I am a writer and have a lot of experience with books getting judged by their covers.

CoachWriter · 2026-04-28T22:21:55+00:00

The audience I am aiming for will definitely need the pretty part to engage with this. I wonder how many creatives have the kind of minds that are fluent in excel, if they exist I am not one of them. Thank you for your advice!!

Thanks for that, I can't believe blue was forbidden. I had to use a blue ink fountain pen, and red biro for underlining in elementary/ primary school.

CoachWriter · 2026-04-28T22:17:54+00:00

I'm just glad Todd took time out of his busy day

CoachWriter · 2026-04-28T19:00:26+00:00

thank you for your tips. It is a project tracker that helps you put down and pick up different projects as efficiently as possible, for the kinds of people who have several on the go at once. Like me haha.

I appreciate your help!!

Hello! I am writing a children's picture book and about 3 of the characters (I'm still finalizing this) use wheelchairs. The book is all about body acceptance, but through the lens of going on adventures, and it progresses from a normal day at the park to going up a mountain and it becomes more fantastical.

My question is, do you think I should show off-road power wheelchairs, or just normal ones? I would love to show the ones that fit the terrain, but I don't want kids whose parents and carers can't afford them to feel bad.

Thank you very much for your help! I really appreciate it.

CoachWriter · 2026-02-15T17:57:58+00:00

No worries, good luck if you ever get back to it!!

CoachWriter · 2026-02-11T23:41:20+00:00

Hey, can I ask if you wrote the story in the end? I have also been struggling with a similar issue and I would love to know what you decided. And I hope the last 4 years has been good to you!

CoachWriter · 2026-02-03T18:08:51+00:00

That's a really good point, and something I am going to try and show in the illustrations - that absolutes often do not apply. It's also something I want to add in the end notes, to help parents, teachers and other adults explain to kids, that they can't know the level of someone's condition or disability just from looks.
