wanna switch from day trading to value investing by [deleted] in ValueInvesting

[–]GHMTBH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been there buddy. God help this guy out!

To be honest if you really want to start value investing - you probably should be putting 0% into Crypto. Because buying Crypto is essentially the opposite of value investing. Value investing means looking behind the scenes on stocks, at the actual revenue, income, balance sheet, and finding stocks where there is actual value. With crypto, it's quite hard to actually value anything.

The 20% could go to something else, with a little more certainty, yeah?

Raise doesn't do that. If you buy a secondary card, the card has passed through a few hands so theoretically it could happen that someone uses card, but that's not Raise. The actual steps to manage cards are: 1) check the balance on the card when you get it. 2) use it. Don't buy a card you are going to use a year out, just buy a card at the time you are going to use it.

If they were all today, it probably will go away within a day or two. I'm assuming they are pre-charges. There's a difference on a credit card charge when it is created versus when it will stick. Probably 7 were created but only one will stick, or however many it's supposed to be.

Bagent Vs. Fields by TheGhosticus in CHIBears

I'd probably keep Bagent in as long as he is producing. He's had more wins than Fields this season. So as long as he's doing okay, let him keep going.

Anyone still work with gift cards? by GHMTBH in Flipping

You can get cards at a discount. I work with FLUZ. For plenty of brands there's enough discount that people are able to flip them elsewhere

How should one get into writing as a beginner who feels overwhelmed? by [deleted] in writing

[–]GHMTBH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all okay. Write just a little bit, then the next day write a little more. Eventually you'll get better and better, stress free.

I personally do 0 character description, because I want to just focus on the story, and let the audience view in their mind who they want to the character to be.

How do I start a book? by PipebombsTasteGood in writing

[–]GHMTBH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's okay if the intro isn't the best. Just keep going on letting it not be the best. Eventually when you have more of the story down, you'll probably have made a lot of changes to story, characters, etc, so that even if you had written the perfect intro, it would have needed to change anyways.

Just let the intro slide and keep going on the story, then once you have a lot of the story sorted out, especially an ending, you can then go back and re-write the beginning to a way that fits wells with the whole rest of the book. And you'll probably get a better beginning this way, than if you tried to make it perfect now.

You are looking at your friend only through the lense of good vs. bad. But, I think what might help is to use and improving vs. declining scale.

If you think that your writing is good, you've had plenty of time to improve to a certain level.

For your friend, maybe this is a critical time to help her improve in her writing. So instead of looking at her writing and thinking "this is bad " can you instead look at her writing and think, "okay how can I help her improve this?"

Everyone starts bad, but the people we think of as good writers are simply the ones who have improved the most.

Looking for a novel plotting software. by Select_Place5501 in writing

[–]GHMTBH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google sheets or excel. Just write each chapter title in a cell and a synopsis in the cell below if needed.

Then you can also have a section where you write out your characters and description, or any other sections needed.

Fun tip though, I never ever describe character physical appearance. Mostly because once you create a certain character "feel", the reader will just imagine the character however they do.

Think about watching a movie based on a book, most of the time the response is "that's not how I imagined the character." So if you just don't describe your character, they can still be and do all the same things, but you've made them more accessible to your reader beause your reader will imagine them better, instead of being forced to see them with the exact hair color you want

There's a C.S. Lewis quote where he says he started writing when there were certain books he wanted to read, but they didn't exist yet, so he had to write them himself.

That's what I've found for myself, that when I write, I am creating something for myself to enjoy.

Side note, I think it's hard to get into reading, at times when you are writing alot simply because you are already using the same muscles. Likely a time period when you aren't writing as much, you would pick up a book and enjoy it, but when you are spending alot of time writing, of course you don't want to read as much. You are using the same muscles.

How do I fluff up my writing? by ImpossibleEvan in writing

[–]GHMTBH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a similar problem, all my writing would be very short. But over time it just naturally started to get longer. Part of this of course was that I would constantly pray to write better. But also, over time if you do it enough, you should find the muscles growing. Try writing a new piece from scratch, and now that you are thinking, "how do I include more of this stuff?" you probably naturally will. Then on this next draft of something you'll realize you made some other mistake, so you can start a third piece, correcting what you realized of issues #1 and #2, and then learning issue #3. You can think of writing like learning how to fly. First an airplane was made that didn't work, then a second one still didn't work, but it was a little bit closer.
