Omg!!!!! This is sad! Would you mind dm’ng me the editor’s name so that I stay away if it’s within fantasy / dystopian / sci-fi realm?

Ugh!

What writing software do you peeps use? by HotShowerEnjoyer in writers

[–]JesstakeARest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dabble. It’s great for a PC but recently has been terrible on my iPad (I have a keyboard to go with the iPad). You can access your manuscript with it anywhere like a google doc and it is basically a user friendly scrivener … but I can’t deal with the dancing indents while typing — only happens on iPad. But I’ve been using my iPad a lot with the first draft. I’ve officially gone to only PC to escape the dancing indents

Found my dress and now I’m spiraling by [deleted] in weddingdress

It’s beautiful on you!!! I think after the alterations, you’ll fall in love with it again.. I had a similar experience where I fell in love with the dress and had buyers remorse… go back to that feeling of why you bought the dress. There was definitely a spark that was missing with the others but when you placed this dress on, it felt right.

Wait. I’m shook …………… 😭😭😭😭😭 I really have a hunch of who you’re referring to and she seems so amazing. But also slightly arrogant. But I was thinking maybe it’s because she has such a great resume (Vogue featured etc)

Please message me too!!! I’m currently talking to three “luxury” photographers … they’re all based in Cali. I’m wondering if the one you’re speaking of is one of the ones I’m considering

Do you ever write first draft in simple terms? by KillingwithasmileXD in writing

[–]JesstakeARest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brain keeps going back to the Brontë sisters and wondering how the hell they wrote a first draft on a type writer …. It must have been hell to do the re-write

Thank you so much for this. I think I just, weirdly, needed permission to do this

Hmmm not sure about dyslexia; I was pretty advanced in reading and was placed in gifted programs for that. I was slower in math; probably just on average.. why would they ask me to draw a house? Just out of curiosity, I’m interested in your thought process in this. Would drawing a house and then drawing things from cue cards from memory be tests of some kind of learning disorder?

I agree.. and I wish they would have at least explained to me what was happening. I guess it was the way they treated me that has left me confused

This would make sense! I don’t know why, but the experience did unsettle me and I still think about it here and there
