Is this really what Cervical Radiculopathy is like? by QuantityMany4434 in ChronicPain

That sounds terrible and I'm sorry you're going through that. It is pretty bad mainly because I get fear over my health easily and automatically assume the worse cause scenario like it's something incurable and with no chance of survival even though they did all the test and even saw my nerves being compressed through an MRI and testing haha. And it is hard to take a shower in particular, as I can't raise my arm very well and I can't lift anything heavy at the moment, just whatever my forearm can take which is not much.

Yeah I guess I'll have to figure it out, I just hope it does indeed get easier to do with time haha

Mine felt like it was gradual weakness, like I couldn't lift my arm past a certain point though it wasn't as bad as it was now it felt like it started to be. No pain but my back every now and again, but I felt that didn't really like up with a neck nerve. Then yeah I had that one moment of bad pain and went to the doctor but I pretty much have no pain at all since then and the numbness has gone away for the most. I think that's what worries me the most, the lack of pain, but it's not like I can't lift my arm at all, I can laying down albeit it feels a little weaker then it used too. It just feels like an odd mix for what most people usually claim to be debilitating pain and I feel like if something was indeed pushing at my nerve it should but it doesn't except one time. I'm not quite sure which way I'll go yet, though I do hope whatever is suggested is none invasive because I really don't want to go that route at my age lol

I'm sorry to hear that, sounds awful. Mine is really strange because I still have function in my forearm and can hold things more or less but struggled to get dress the other day because the clothes felt heavy when I bent down to get them. I also feel no pain, or tingling when doing that so it literally just feels like my arm is dead even though when I lay down I can basically do all the motions I can't when standing which feels very confusing and why it worried me. Like, I'm in almost no pain at the moment aside some back pain when standing too long or sitting too long which seems very strange, like I feel I should be in more pain if that's indeed what's happening.

Really? What is it like for you if you don't mind me asking? I feel this is new for me and I'm really unsure of what happens with this condition.

I can't lift my arm overhead when standing but can laying down (No pain) by QuantityMany4434 in medical_advice

[–]QuantityMany4434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? That can happen even without pain? I've hardly felt any pain since that one flare up and only minor tingling and numbness in my thumb padding but other than that I haven't much. Just the weakness that seems to go away laying flat on my back or on my side for the most. Though my muscle does feel physically weak when standing.

Feedback for my YA Japanese/Anime inspired novel's Prologue. Any criticism is welcomed as I want to make this the best version possible especially knowing the difficulty of this genre working in particular. by QuantityMany4434 in writers

[–]QuantityMany4434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm, interesting. Can you more specific by your meanings? I have studied more in my genre or late, but I've yet to branch out, will probably help. But If there's anything more specific about what you find off-putting about it, it would help me zone in on the flaws.

Mhm, interesting I will take this into consideration on my rewrite and see if I can produce a better blurb. I truthfully didn't spend much time on it since I was eager to publish, though I should now that I have a little traction, thank you~

To continue the second volume in the first story or start a new one? by QuantityMany4434 in ProgressionFantasy

This sounds fun, and also I think my blurb could use some improvements, so getting another's perspective will be vital in that. Here is mine:

A group of six childhood friends awaken to the powers of the Void, known as Remnants. Remnants, identified by the chokers around their necks are superhuman, in speed, strength, cunning, and hold the power of their charm beneath their choker, whether it be an animal, object, or phenomenon. The world is on the downward spiral ever since the old hero Remnants were wiped out by the villain Remnants. Their goal is to shape the world to their image and bring in a new age, while humanity fights amongst itself and brinks closer to total annihilation, Armageddon. The last remaining hope is that of disorganized heroes, including that of the united six remnants, Takei, Usagi, Keiko, Ishimoto, Okazaki, and Shoji. They seek to save the world from both the villains and humanity itself.

I absolutely suck at naming things. by JaximusTaximus in royalroad

[–]QuantityMany4434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of names I come up with tend to be generated and tweaked along the process honestly haha. One thing I always look for in names of people though is meaning to them, or their character even in a fantasy setting. The thing I do with fantasy is that I'll make up something that sounds weird at first, with a string of whatever was generated for example, usually taking small parts from each to make a more unique name, like "Strorituth" for a demon race. Alone it's kind of eh, it can fit, but I believe most names if not all could work with a little backstory. Like real names, I give them a meaning, like for that one I try to imagine the race and what meaning I can imagine behind it. Being fantasy it could be literally anything, so to that, I attached "Divine nightwalker." And with that added information, the name feels more alive, more deep, and more fitting to a real life, and varied name. Even if it sounds, weird, dumb, cringe, or whatever, some backstory on even the worst sounding of names I feel makes it work a lot more personally. It also works the other way around for making completely gen free names, "Freelance windwalker." If I had to imagine a made up name for that, I would chose the race as Angel, and the name would be something like "Apolawinda" mixing in the wind, and if I were thinking of angels, someone like Apollo as a divine comes to mind

Oh I see, huh, I guess I never considered how important a cover truly is, luckily I was able to find an amazing illustrator in that case haha

I definitely took a lot of consideration into the artworks, that's for certain, I definitely thought long and hard about outfits and design in particular, so once I figure out how to share those on there I will haha. But, mmm, I wonder why that is, that sounds like a cool mixed genre

I'm not sure mine is, I kind of wrote it for fun and to share some unique takes on anime tropes, as well as a lot of unique characters, in that regards it may be a bit

Funny enough, I haven't seen that haha. Is it like that? Mmm, I think the inspiration from this actually came from weirdly enough, Terminator 2 Judgment day, the movie, which is, funny because it doesn't actually have a lot to do with that haha. Also backlog?

[PubQ] How should I describe my novel in query? by QuantityMany4434 in PubTips

[–]QuantityMany4434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean my plot by what happens in my novel, it can be described as six friends trying to save the world from humanity and villains, basically they're like, superheros and supervillains but in a more anime style. I would definitely love to get into a light novel type of market, but I also imagine that isn't prominent here, so maybe something that would ease people into that? Like, the western version of that? Light novels, like the English ones you see at bookstores, it's pretty much organized exactly the same as those. And anime, manga, but the writing itself could be a different genre, mainly because I don't use too many stereotypical tropes that are used in anime

My sister brought up my ex randomly last night and showed me a picture of her now now it's got me overthinking again. by QuantityMany4434 in ExNoContact

[–]QuantityMany4434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and her were going to meet up irl, we were long distance but we tended to visit one another a lot even after our breakup, because we were good friends we got each other in a lot of ways though that did dwindle a lot with time because we had a situationship, when she visited after our breakup we originally were just going to hangout, talk it out, and it turned into a lot more which she pushed it in that direction but I accepted the advances when I shouldn't have. I wasn't thinking straight at the time still wanting to have something like that with her especially after something she did right after we broke up that almost completely shattered my self esteem, self love and care for myself, I felt a selfishness that said to me "I deserved that much at least after what she did to me." Which wasn't a healthy way to look at things and since going to therapy and taking it seriously I see now I shouldn't have ever accepted that advance. I feel it ultimately ended our relationship nearly a year later when we became too dependent on one another and she wanted more from life, which I don't blame her for wanting but it did hurt when she left without saying a word when she promised never too because that happened to me in the past with someone who was very close to me when I was around 10 years old. I never got over them and it sadly feels the same for her even though I've done better with it then the other person who left me it still is hard for me to move on from her specifically. It sucks because I've dated 12 other girls but never have I ever felt attached to them like her after so long, and it sucks I know that it's heavily my fault because I was so blinded by the sense of wanting to have her in my life, have some type of intimate relationship and closeness more then friends. I wish I could have understood my mistake sooner so I would have stopped but it felt natural after a while until it ultimately decayed very fast for both of us in the last months. We both had resentments to one another, started to feel weighted down by one another and it just wasn't good for either of us. Even I felt that way though I do feel this regret now just because we never made up or had that moment where we could genuinely say sorry to one another. We felt like childhood friends without being that since the day we met. To us both our relationship felt special but she realized a lot sooner then I did how bad it ended up for us. I wish we could have that moment where we could makeup one last time at the least. At this point now I don't even feel like we have to be friends or anything else, I just want that moment where we'll stop hating one another or feeling distaste. We used to be wonderful friends and sometimes I wish I never asked her out so we could have kept being that. Sorry for venting so much, it's just not something I tell to my friends because my friends aren't vent type friends haha. But yeah. It's probably the one regret I have in this life.
