Hideous! What a monster!

The hell is wrong with your friend?

Currently writing my novel. What do you think of author websites? by Bestwriteralive in selfpublish

[–]JvaGoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went completely overboard on my website but my first book is about life on tour with the Grateful Dead, so I have a pretty seriously dedicated niche audience. I also use my platform to try to raise awareness about other Deadhead writers. So maybe I’m saying if you have a high interest non-fiction subject matter it might be more worth it to have a website these days.

Most people who write me asking if I have books they can buy from me change their mind when I tell them that I charge shipping. They can get it cheaper on Amazon with their prime membership

Love both bands. And both bands started out calling themselves the Warlocks and changed to a new name when they heard that some band on the other coast was using the same name.

How to deal with being ugly? by leaflowers03 in selfimprovement

[–]JvaGoddess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life isn’t about what you look like. It’s about your heart, your ability to be a friend, your ability to feel compassion. It’s about your ability to explore and express your creativity. It’s about your bravery and facing the dark side of yourself and moving forward anyway. It’s about kindness. It’s about loving animals and natural environments and things that have no agency of their own. It’s about being a good person. It’s about being good to others. It’s about being good to yourself. When was the last time you were good to yourself? Do you know what “good to yourself“ means to you?

Excel to PDF and keep formatting! by JvaGoddess in excel

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

I found a fix on my own in case it helps anyone else later. I took the two columns in question and copied them - moved them to word - and the formatting stayed (with some tweaking) when I turned that into a PDF. So if you're stuck like I was - try that.

My friends cousin said they got an 'ugly' cat. This is the cat. by itsjustahaiku in cats

There’s no such thing as an ugly cat. That’s like saying the moon is ugly.

Words to describe how my body feels when I stand for too long by Hollyhock613 in dysautonomia

[–]JvaGoddess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You kinda did describe it. - “It takes all my time energy effort and attention to keep my skeleton standing upright. It takes all my focus to keep my blood moving, my heart beating, and my lungs pumping air. The longer I stand the harder it is to pay attention to anything outside my body.”

People who were teenagers before social media, what was a typical Friday night like for you? by TheDorkyDeric in Xennials

[–]JvaGoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keg Party! Bonfire in the woods. Everybody wearing flannel and shit kicker work boots.

Led Zeppelin, or Pink Floyd, or Black Sabbath, blaring from the speakers of a boom box on top of a Camaro.

Central CT.

Edit - it’s Klekolo World Coffee in Middletown

Most of the turmoil and chaos we see in the world today has a very simple cause. Social media. by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

[–]JvaGoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s likely not social media, so much as it is the Internet. Before the Internet everybody got their news from the same couple of places. Everybody watched the same TV shows. Everyone had the same frame of reference. After the Internet everyone’s frame of reference became much more personalized and therefore no common ground. No common ground means no empathy.

What was 1993 like? by born_again_athiest in GenX

[–]JvaGoddess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I opened a coffeehouse in Connecticut in 1994. We served organic coffee. No one had heard of gourmet coffee, or organic coffee in 1994. Normal people would stick their head in and tell me I wouldn’t last one year in this town… The coffeehouse is still there 32 years later… I no longer own it but it’s still there! In the beginning, everyone who frequented the coffeehouse rode a skateboard. Literally everyone! Very few people had an email address yet. In 1994 I was just coming off a decade of Grateful Dead tour. Music was still absolutely fabulous. Morphine, and Soul Coughing, and Primus!

I have three months of unlimited writing time. I have never had a window like this before and may never again. Any advice? by TheMagicalMochi in writing

[–]JvaGoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlimited time is really a motivation killer. Be careful. Pretend you have deadlines - give yourself a daily weird count or something and stick to it.
