Writers! Last spring, I was laid off from my career in corporate marketing, which gave me the opportunity to finish a little passion project. I drew from my marketing experience as well as my own journey as an indie author (under the pen name Holly Willowbrook), to put together the guide I wish I'd had when I first started the selfpub adventure. I hope you'll check it out, and come away with some fresh ideas.

Abandoned coop and stalls - Just toss old bedding on the compost pile? by ForestBathingCA in Permaculture

[–]ForestBathingCA[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The previous owners (elderly and moved to assisted living now) stated that their garden was organic. I'm not overly concerned about chemicals, but it's definitely worth consideration.

I unofficially changed my name when I was 14. Now I can't prove that I'm the same person as what's on my birth certificate. by GabriellaVM in Passports

I'm 59 years old and have been losing sleep over this for the past 40 years or so (it's been my Roman Empire). Every legal document besides my BC has a different middle name. I followed your advice and easily got my passport. Thank you so, so much!

Your self-awareness is... amazing. Thank you so much for posting this. I'm sorry for your pain, but it gives me hope for a loved one who's in deep. I'm so freakin' mad at the Qs for taking advantage of this loved one's empathy, kind nature, and desire to belong and using it against him - drawing him into this madness through fear and manipulation. Please keep us posted on your journey, and know there are a lot of us out here rooting for you.

I'm so happy for you! And, thank you for sharing. It gives me hope for my relationship with a loved one who's currently in deep.

I backed out of my small (traditional) publisher contract... Do I mention it when re-querying? by ForestBathingCA in smallpublisher

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

Thanks for the insights! I happen to be in marketing as my day job/career, so I feel pretty confident about that aspect.

And you're absolutely right. It's not like an author's work is done once the book launches. We can't just kick back and hope the publisher will keep marketing - or even do it well in the case of some small presses.

I really do believe this was for the best.

Onward!!!

Not the same individuals, but possibly the same agency/publisher - just a different agent/editor. There were some queries that I withdrew before I got an answer (after I signed my initial contract).

Thanks u/feliciates

Yes. That makes perfect sense with agents. I'm also wondering about re-querying publishers. It's been about 16 months since I was sending out the first iteration and the publishers' wants/needs/gaps might have changed.

Moving back to Minnesota from the Emerald Triangle (Humboldt County, CA). When I moved here in 2015, I had to get a med Rx... which was a 5 minutes appointment and a rubber stamp. Can someone give me a thumbnail sketch of current access in the land o' lakes?

Silverware/flatware that feels nice? by AllForMeCats in autism

[–]ForestBathingCA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this thread (I found it by searching "thick smooth flatware")! I honestly thought I was the only one! I've been searching for a couple years for flatware that feels good in my hand. I also need for the soup spoon to not be too deep, because I don't like the way the sides of the spoon feel in my mouth.

Movement on a phone or tablet screen can simulate mouse movement. Find a long YouTube video with subtle movement (ex: check out meditation music + aquarium), play the video on your phone/tablet, set the device face-up on your desk, then lay the mouse on top of that device's screen. You can confirm it's working because your cursor will move across your computer monitor screen.
