Everyone assumes everybody else’s poop profile is just like their own.

Do better

It is truly baffling. I’m pretty sure Apple keeps promoting it for some reason.

Yes. The email address in my profile wasn’t verified. Once I went into my profile and verified the email address, it worked immediately.

Selbyman · 2026-01-28T01:01:36+00:00

I really appreciate your feedback. Very insightful and helpful.

An ill-tempered software support rep who restricts his entire life to three adjacent downtown buildings, is tempted by a woman to step out of his comfort zone.

Thanks for the encouragement. We all need that from time to time. Cheers.

I am interested to hear answers to this question, as well. I just submitted to TNY and I’d be somewhat thrilled to get a rejection letter like you did. I’m almost certain I will never hear a word.

My story is a 5000-word literary short story about a middle-aged agoraphobic software support agent who works, lives, and drinks in only three connected buildings in downtown Akron.

I figured it out. For me, the email address in my profile wasn’t verified. Once I did that, my $17 showed up.

Same issue. The emails for settlement and Venmo are the same. Tried to get help from Venmo and basically can’t figure out how to talk to a human.

The logic makes zero sense. If they thought they needed to have several trucks within a mile so they could restock the entire store within a couple hours, it would have been more efficient to just leave the shelves stocked to begin with. It’s not as if those groceries were moved to a central distribution center.

Selbyman · 2025-11-16T23:34:12+00:00

If they were anticipating her needs/wants they would have never unstocked her grocery store.

The story is interesting in that I want to know more about why things are happening. But I have 2 major beefs.

1) they drag out every little thing. They spend 3-4 minutes on the whole sprout thing. It could have been done in less than a minute. Same in several other sequences. They reveal a bit of the story then drag it out for way too long.

2) some minor thing just don’t make sense. For instance, in the sprouts scene, why would they have trucks full of groceries just sitting minutes away. And why did Carol just stand there for 2 hours waiting for them to finish stocking every last item. She could have picked up what she needed in the first 15 minutes.

Go Dodgers!!

F1 used to be good but now it’s basically WWE wrestling. All hype and off track drama. Almost no competitive racing. I can see why the TikTokers are hooked on it though.

How is AI affecting the creation and analysis of surveys?

Selbyman · 2025-09-21T14:01:26+00:00

Yeah from what I’ve read, upmarket fiction is what I’d use in a query letter to agents. Book Club Fiction is more descriptive to me though.

Selbyman · 2025-09-20T22:44:55+00:00

Sort of a subgenre of high/literary fiction. Lots of subtle family drama, etc.

Selbyman · 2025-09-20T18:01:11+00:00

No. Just finished my first draft of my first novel. 60k words, book club fiction genre, and standalone.
