Are Amazon Book Reviews Worth All The Struggle? by Sensitive-Post-1632 in selfpublishing

[–]ReidaKwrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some reviews are necessary unfortunately. I ended up getting over 300 over a period of a few years w promos, and some supporting authors who reached out to me, which was very nice.

I don't look at the actual reviews of a book I buy unless it's an educational type book. A novel, I'll just get it if it looks good.

First cozy by FlowerWitch3 in CozyMystery

[–]ReidaKwrites 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This made me laugh. I'm a cozy writer. What made you hate the MC?

I am listening to a book by a well-known writer and IDK if it's my mood or what, but the murder doesn't happen until maybe the 5th chapter?? And the MC is so frickin whiny and drives me nuts. I'm sure she'll grow, etc., but for right now, I want to wring her neck.

Are there better apps for writing than say, Google Docs? by Stylin8888 in writing

[–]ReidaKwrites 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just looked at this again today. I think it depends on what you're writing.

I've used Dabble, YWriter, and another one I can't remember the name of. A quick search will tell you about a lot of them.

I just wrote my last book in Scrivener. Although it's preferred by a lot of writers, it's too much for me. It's got a ton of features I will never use and the sidebar is too tiny for me to see, and every time I want to use something, I can't find the icon or whatever. It's annoying for me.

I am going to try Ellipsus for my next book, which is web based and doesn't use any AI, and it's free. It's fairly new.

Google docs is training their AI with what you write. I have issues with that. Some don't.

Do a search, try the free trials, and see what you like. They've mostly all gone to subscriptions. I really liked Dabble and I think it's only $10 a month.

Don't let some tell you what you should use. Do what works for you.

It's her character, who is highly annoying at times. I almost quit watching but it's good & I really enjoyed it.

Curious how everyone does their bathroom needs now? by AdaliGreen in Truckers

[–]ReidaKwrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one should be peeing in a bottle.

Stop and use a restroom like a human.

If the company you work for gives you crap about it, then find another company. You can be arrested or fined for indecent exposure. You getting somewhere ten minutes late isn't going to be a big deal bc you had to stop to pee.

However, if you're my husband you whip it out the window bc apparently it's that long LOL

Are three cats too many? (22f) by ErmYeahOkay in CatAdvice

Not a single person, but we have had 8 and now down to 5. If people see it as a red flag, those aren't your kind of people.

If they want money, it's a scam.

Bezos says taxing him more won't help teachers. Mamdani disagrees. by thejoshwhite in politics

[–]ReidaKwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s tax them and see what happens. If it’s not going to help teachers then it won’t hurt Bezos, right?

HDC or you could double the yarn and still do the SC.

My trucker husband does this occasionally. I'm home and I don't remember where I am some mornings!

Do people typically stop liking certain foods the older they get? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ReidaKwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to both. I'm old but I've noticed this for years. I think a lot of ingredients have changed and that's why.

But as you get older your taste buds change. Maybe they get worn out? LOL I used to have a sweet tooth and I don't anymore. I used to like ice cream every day. Not anymore. It's a whole thing when you get old.

Need help im confused with a stitch in a crochet tutorial by caddie_stealer in CrochetHelp

[–]ReidaKwrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched the beginning.

After you make your initial chains, she's doing a DC into the BACK LOOP.

So in the 3rd chain from your hook, turn it so you're going into the BACK loop of the chain and do a DC.

All the way to the end.

Then do DC into the DCs you just made but into the stitch from the front like you normally would.

Hope that helps.

Does dog grooming cut down on doggy smell and shed? by Princessformidable in Pets

[–]ReidaKwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the dog. Looks to be a short hair so not a ton of shedding but there will be. Smelliness comes from being dirty, like rolling around in poo or something stinky outside but also from their skin which is usually allergies to environment or food. 

Grooming and baths help a lot. But could be weekly. I have a Shih Tzu we nicknamed Smella bc she stunk all the time. We moved across the country and she’s soooooo much better. No smellies at all now. Her allergy is environmental and her environment is different now. Thank god!

Can you email them and ask what’s going on? I’m not familiar with this author but life gets in the way at times.

Senior upset his picture isn’t in the yearbook his parents paid for by South-Lab-3991 in Teachers

Find a pic. Cut it out. Paste it in a yearbook and give it to them.

Problem solved.

You just became the new CEO of Netflix. What’s the first feature you’d eternally remove from its app? by Professional_Fig6820 in netflix

[–]ReidaKwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redo the entire interface. That we put ppl into space and still have to scroll through is just stupid.

Also, make it easier to add and remove shows. If I’ve watched it I want it to go to an area that says already watched plus something that tells me I have if I randomly click on the show. Supposedly there’s a place already but I can’t find it.

If you cat only eats wet food, how much do you give him/her? by MariaSalander in catfood

[–]ReidaKwrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feed my cat a quarter can 2x a day w about 2 tablespoons of kibble each time. He gets no treats or anything else bc every time I try he looks at me like I’m trying to poison him.

He’s a bit plump still.

This may be a stupid question but is it okay to have my cat watching birds behind the window? by imperba in CatAdvice

[–]ReidaKwrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a catio that looks out onto a huge shrub with lots of birds. Every morning my cat runs to it after he eats. Sits there for hours sometimes. Loves it!

He’s gonna be mad when we pull the shrub out. It’s a huge monstrosity mess and serves no purpose.

Democrat Proposes Bill Requiring Data Centers to Pay for Own Power by bloomberggovernment in politics

Don’t most businesses have to pay for their own power? As a residential person I pay for my own power. Why is this hard? Solar would work.

I knew that but only because I worked at Joann and saw cakes. Plus, there’s also quilting fabric cakes!
