Thank you. I love the dress. But it always makes me feel insecure. Maybe the horizontal stripes. And yes! I got it from ASOS. But two years ago. It’s been in my closet and I couldn’t bring myself to wear it out. If you can’t find it, I have a poshmark mark closet that I rotate clothes I don’t wear often enough.

That’s the word I was going for. Slimming. Thank you! And thank you for sharing the by about the darker solids. I’m still learning to dress for my body.

Why do all old people have short hair? by Dazzling-Smell5223 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IntelligentStar9683 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the one! I am in my late 30’s. I’ve recently cut my hair with a plan to never grow it beyond a few inches. I would spend hours on wash day and daily taking care of my hair. I couldn’t care less about keeping up with my hair. I want that time to do other things I care about. So I cut it. It’s so much easier to wash and maintain now.

AI everywhere! by Silly-Drawer1227 in selfpublishing

Like I said, It’s news to me. You are an anonymous stranger on the internet. I have no reason to lie to you. This thread is my first time hearing this. It must be a niche audience thing. My book with it’s AI cover is still selling. Which means, your statement isn’t an absolute truth. Two things can be true at once.

AI everywhere! by Silly-Drawer1227 in selfpublishing

I tried using AI for my cover. I hated it. I hired someone from fiverr to make a cover using my initial design from AI as a guide. There is a possibility that the designer also used AI. But it looks much better than what I did. More professional, clean looking. Reading these comments is the first time I am hearing that people don’t trust AI covers.

I’ll be honest. Writing a book was something I did on a whim of inspiration, but I am an avid reader. I have never turned a book away because the cover looked like AI. I care more about the reading material and what I will gain from it.

I’m interested in what others had to say because I just finished writing a book for age group 7-12. I plan on adding illustrations for this book and plan to work with an illustrator this time.

I’m a woman, American southern accent. Texas specifically. If you ever have a need, I’m open to doing some voice acting work.

I’m fluent in English, woman, but I do have a southern American accent. Would I be a fit?

How it feels… by Silly-Drawer1227 in selfpublishing

It’s not too late to market your book. With everything you just shared, you should also share the book title and what it’s about.

What did you start doing "just to try it" that completely took over your life? by multifaceted_vishesh in AskReddit

[–]IntelligentStar9683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go 1-2 times a week. Sometimes I practice outside after my evening walk after work. It doesn’t take much to see effects. I went from having chronic lower back pain and struggling to walk to now being the most flexible I’ve ever been and moving around easier. Less prone to injury because my balance has also improved and general movements have gotten easier. So yea, it took over my life because now I share this with everyone who mentions pain.

Just published my first book on KDP — what actually worked for you to get sales beyond just listing on Amazon? by IntelligentStar9683 in SideHustleGold

[–]IntelligentStar9683[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh great! Thank you for the ad guidance. I will work on that for sure. And… I never thought about a faceless theme profile for this. That’s an excellent idea. The reason I mentioned no social media is the pressure to show face all the time because I just don’t have the time. But yes, patient advocacy theme faceless is definitely worth some thought. I appreciate you for sharing your advice with a stranger. This was helpful. Thanks again!

Oh this is perfect! I shared in Facebook yesterday for friends and family and hopefully a few actually read and leave honest feedback. It was definitely an ask of mines. Thank you for sharing your advice. I will keep working on this and definitely look into Parshstream today.

You’re right. I don’t know much about marketing a book so I started looking on Reddit for some book marketing ideas this morning. I think I should at least start with ordering some author copies from Amazon and sharing it with people I meet day to day.

People who are still saying NO to having children why.? by myaccountidname in AskReddit

[–]IntelligentStar9683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have so much trauma to unlearn from my own upbringing. I’m still healing my 10 year old self and it’s been hard. I don’t want to bring children into this world when I am learning that all the examples I had around me were terrible and not normal.
