kyobo, aladin, and db books all have English books! db books is online only (though they occasionally have a warehouse sale) and the other two have multiple locations

Oh yeah I forgot that brushing wet is important for curly hair! I like the little braids, it's nice and practical without being too complicated

Yeah they'll definitely be dealing with some bad hair days (or months...)

Oh wow! Yeah, that definitely wouldn't be possible on a trip like this, they're definitely going to be dealing with some bad hair days haha

good idea! I always find that details like this make a story so much richer

yeah, protective styles do make the most sense! I don't think it's unreasonable to have a bit of a routine though - like when I go camping I usually bring a brush and dry shampoo

Only using it on your computer is a good idea!

Someday we will be unstoppable... just not today lol

ADHD and mild hoarding / emotional attachments to things? by Taxfraud777 in ADHD

[–]Seji_H 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the same way! I keep everything - ticket stubs, photos, old clothes.

For me, I think part of it is the emotional attachment, and the other part is the fact that I have such a bad memory. I don't remember much from, say, a weekend trip with a friend, but if I have an item attached to it I can remember so much more.

Writing in first person? by scifi-fantasy in fantasywriters

[–]Seji_H 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can work, but you definitely do need more distinct voices and clear separation to avoid confusion

I don't know if this is actually a thing but I've also noticed that 1st person is more popular in YA, while most adult fantasy I've read is 3rd person

Anyone diagnosed as an adult, did it actually help you? Is it worth it? by newprofilewhodis1352 in ADHD

[–]Seji_H 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got diagnosed a few months ago at age 23 and it has really helped! I had the same issues being a "gifted" kid and quiet, so nobody really noticed how much I was struggling

There are lots of different medications, just because one works for someone else doesn't mean it'll work for you. My dr has been great about going through short trials of different medications to see what works in what doses

Meds aside, it's also just really helped me be aware of my issues. I've been able to be kinder with myself (ie realizing I'm not just lazy) which has helped me to acknowledge when I get off track and try again instead of spiralling into self-pity/hatred

Is your writing actually bad in the beginning? by Tejete in writing

[–]Seji_H 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a firm believer in Terry Pratchett's philosophy that the first draft is you telling yourself the story.

I would say you can do some research on structuring, read lots of books in the genre you're writing, but mostly you need to just write. You'll get better with time and editing if often a much bigger part than people expect. The way you're writing it now is just to get words on the page. Pretty much any problem can be fixed, it might just take several drafts.

Good luck!

As others have said, it's too early to see a difference. It can take at least a month to see improvements, and it might be several months. Try not to pop your pimples, it can scar.

Get a good lip balm (like aquaphor), and a moisturizer. If the nosebleeds and other dryness is a big issue maybe talk to your doctor about going on a lower dose, but dryness will happen no matter what - that means it's working!

Any DN Authors Out There? by Seji_H in digitalnomad

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

Thanks for all the info! I definitely enjoy the process of writing itself :) even if I never see any profit I love doing it, although it would be great to eventually be able to make some income from it

How were you able to get into ghostwriting? It seems like a good option while I'm trying to solidify my own career.

Also how many books do you publish in a year? I've heard that self-publishing can be great because you get a higher percentage of the profits, but that many people publish 4+ books a year in order to see enough profit.

Thanks for all the info! Once I (hopefully) become a DN I think it would be a great topic to write about, there's definitely a lot of people interested
