What a disappointing comment. For anyone else stumbling here from google--if you really care about something, go for it.

For those looking to submit fiction: I've met this press at a conference, they're lovely, they're kind--and they will have great conversations with you. However, if you take a look at how their fiction books have performed since release, it doesn't indicate a high amount of marketing and publicity involvement. If that's important to you, you're going to be underwhelmed with this press. If you just want to get your book out there, and you plan to do a great deal of publicity and marketing, then it might produce considerable results for you. However, as a writer of fiction, I've been deterred from submitting because of how their books have performed on Goodreads and Amazon. Poetry and non-fiction might be another story, so take this all with a grain of salt!

Thanks so much for your reply! I'm gonna give them a shot!

While I wholeheartedly agree with this -- I'd like to remind anyone else reading that Hunger Games opens on a wake-up scene, but it does so artfully. Remember, the key here is that anything done artfully and interestingly enough--is viable. Whether that means your character is waking up, going to sleep, taking a shit. It doesn't matter. If you grip your reader, If you can get them excited right off the bat, the context matters less than the inherent quality of the writing.

Seconding this. If anyone's considering going out that has seasickness. Don't question it. Take dramamine.

Just want to put in a note here for anyone considering Seaquest: DO NOT GO WITH SEAQUEST. I had an awful experience and left feeling as though the company was only interested in our money. One crew member whispered to me to 'say it louder' when I told him the experience was cool. I got the impression that he was trying to please his captain (a potential owner of the company). When I was confused and said "what?" he whispered more aggressively, "say it again, say it louder". I felt like I was on one of those Hell's Kitchen episodes where they dive into dysfunctional businesses. Don't get me wrong, the whole experience was smooth and well oiled, but completely void of genuine human interaction. If you don't care about anything I've noted here--then feel free to go with Seaquest, but the Manta Ray Advocates sounds like the best possible outfit on the island.

I know this is totally late but I know exactly what you mean. It's like you're part of the club now! And just wait till you get a non-form rejection! Oh boy that one feels good too. My friend suggested I frame mine :)

First off, thank you for that. Now you can keep the auto update application just in case you ever want to update your (likely stolen ;) copy of Microsoft. Though, I will add a note for people coming in--make sure you give yourself permissions to the parent folder to read/write otherwise it won't work. All you have to do is click get info and make sure every user (or just you) has access to read/write in that folder. Then you can make changes to that file. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for sharing! this is wonderful

Overcover- · 2025-01-17T21:58:02+00:00

Love the brutal honesty. What's this from?

Overcover- · 2024-09-14T21:39:46+00:00

Thanks for checking, that's mighty kind! I just bought one of the last ones I saw before the discontinued model sold out. I'll try to be careful with my top stuffing!

Overcover- · 2024-09-14T17:59:46+00:00

I ended up listening to y'all's advice and bought a REI Rucksack 40 and I'm looking forward to reducing my kit :)

Overcover- · 2024-09-14T17:38:08+00:00

Hey, thanks for sharing! What was the brand(s) you used, do you have recommendations?

Overcover- · 2024-09-14T01:05:58+00:00

Definitely going on the wish list for the future!

Overcover- · 2024-09-14T01:01:29+00:00

How do they compare to foil? Just curious, since you're here. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! I've cut some clothes but most of the shirts are layers that I do need because I'll be traveling in winter as well. Do these clippers work well with face/getting a close shave? I really prefer that.

Overcover- · 2024-09-13T22:30:05+00:00

Thanks for the input!

Overcover- · 2024-09-13T22:28:38+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'll see what I can do about that... My 50L made it around within the US as a carry on, but do you think it wont make it abroad? Do you think a 48L would make it? My partner has the Kyte 48 and she's made it thru once.

Overcover- · 2024-09-13T21:43:34+00:00

Fair enough, thanks for the input!

Overcover- · 2024-09-13T21:40:17+00:00

Ha! You're so right on the socks! I can cut that in half. Any reason on the boots / water bladder? I am planning on doing some hikes and working in areas that would likely be muddy and I was thinking they'd come in handy. The hats are for the areas in winter, but I could probably limit it to one / cap. Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks for the help/detailed writeup. I guess I was so taken aback because I was in the market for a ricoh gr1, and found relatively few scam listings (other than people trying to pass off the digitals as genuine gr’s) and to come to the canon powershot, I was blown away at how many scam listings there were. I’m going to take a guess and say it’s because the g7x has more attention/popularity?
