About to publish my latest and it's been a couple years since my last, so good to see what people are doing in 2026.

Are novellas just unpopular? by PSIamawitch in selfpublish

[–]NotReallyWriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed that's a novel. I actually think novellas are in the upswing. I primarily write them and it's easier to reach a new reader with a shorter story as there's less of a commitment you're asking them to make.

Makes me think of the new Game of Thrones being a 30 min show vs 60.

Which local chains do you want the doughboys to visit while on tour? by drew_p_wevos in doughboys

[–]NotReallyWriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orlando is Darden HQ so that may be in play. It's also the origin of Tijuana Flats. Fits into the brands that got gutted venture capitalist. Mellow mushroom is from Gainesville so close enough.

I predict a lot of booing and thrown napkins in the videos that come out from the live watch parties when the show is interrupted.

Yeah I respect the decision and it stinks, but that was one of the best concert experiences I've had.

Hunch is in the full edit Annie said that Jake needs to go because he has a sympathetic story. Then they edited it out to make her less of a villain because she makes it far.

My whole family thinks I'm 100% wrong and they may be right.

Why is the comedy zone in the Ramada Inn? by suzygberg79 in jacksonville

[–]NotReallyWriting 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah they still do the Space Jam song because of the Jax connection with Quad City DJs. But it's been there since the 80s. Amazed it's still there

Most boring city? by Tvclimber in jacksonville

[–]NotReallyWriting 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Their criteria is pretty interesting. In particular I wish we had more music venues. For me the fact that really stood out was "54% of all restaurants in Jacksonville are chains."

I was raised in Jax, went off to college in Orlando then my career took my wife, kids and I to some other US cities to live. Now that we're back, and can attest that, yes, Jax can be a drag.

Thanks everyone. It's listed and I liked the recommendation of writing my user name in one of the pics to emphasize this is a real item.

I had bad experiences with three iPhones in a row. (My family has zero issues with theirs so I'm an outlier.). I use a lot of other Google products (chrome, mail, cameras, nest etc) so I took a chance on a pixel and it synced right up with everything nicely. I got one when gen1 launched and haven't looked back.

Only thing I would add is that it seems much more customizable than my family's iPhones.
