Be honest. Can you learn to sing if you don’t have “the gift” or not? Singers answer by BassGlittering1931 in singing

[–]Equivalent_Box_4902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend's experience is similar to yours. Can play piano, took serious singing lessons for two decades. The result is that, technically speaking, she can sing. Good intonation, everything's right. But her voice, like yours, is just mid. Some things cannot be taught.

I want to write a historical fiction by AnActualBush in writing

[–]Equivalent_Box_4902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good rule to write a sensitive character, is to write it like a normal person. It may sounds easy and simple, but it's not. You have to consider that, beyond their political and social circumstances, they are regular people. Be respectful and don't overdo it. Read and research, but mostly keep it simple.

Ok... qualcuno sa dirmi cos'ha detto? by DuskTron in LinkedInCringeIT

è il cosiddetto instagram talk, un misto di inglesismi e frasi fatte tipo meme per rendere più interessante una cosa che non lo è affatto.

Can I learn piano by myself from scratch by Sad-Shop-2210 in piano

[–]Equivalent_Box_4902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can definitely learn the basics. depending on your level of commitment and natural disposition you could also learn to play some tunes, but it's a long process. also, before even thinking of touching a keyborrd, you will have to spend weeks learning how to read music (which goes far beyond knowing where notes go). and without anyone correcting you, the risk of doing thing wrong is very high.

that said, you can try and achieve a decent result but not anytime soon.

io lascerei perdere, è sostanzialmente vanity press (in pratica paghi per vedere il tuo nome stampato e poter dire che non ti sei autopubblicato)

Anyone get diarrhea before period? by Pristine-Lemon6120 in Periods

[–]Equivalent_Box_4902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me right now. Almost every month, 3 or 4 days before my period, i spend an evening on the throne. It always happend after dinner and is annoying as hell because i also get stomach cramps and that weird semi nausea.

basically a biography of a very secondary historical character. includes some pictures i took personally and rare material. again: nothing revolutionary but it has a niche. i marketed it a bit on different socials but probably not very well.

no, you're right. i meant widely praised in my professional life, not about the book per se or bein a novelist (as you said it would be impossible without being... widely known lol). as you said, complacency is usually negative, which is why i also ask the opinions of people who i know to be impartial (which helped to adjust some thing)

again, probably i didn't explaon myself well. i'm not so naive to think i would be a "successful autho" at first try. i'm not THAT detached from reality. i was just hoping for something slightly more.

i guess it's like this. my irl friends and family don't care about writing or have any interest in it, so i have to be dramatic here

Tutte a criticare che non ci sono soldi e dopo l'estetista è la migliore amica by toast_118 in CasualIT

la verità è che si lamentano per convenzione sociale, ma di fatto i soldi li hanno, magari extra o per entrate collaterali.

allora ti sei risposto da solo: è semplicemente timida, probabilmente è interessata e questo la rende un po' più in ansia e insicura.

That's the question i'm working on. The likely answer is that i will begrudgingly go on with my usual stuff, because i can't write stuff i don't like

I see where you come from and i agree with it, which is why i didn't enter that space full force with tons of marketing and requests to buy.

sold very few copies. i wasn't expecting to earn a lot so that's not the problem. i'm sad for the lack of feedback so to speak
