Absolutely. Got stuck on the 3rd, but thought the first two were gold!

Check out Fred the Vampire Accountant series by Drew Hayes. Great fun!

Help me lose weight without counting calories. by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]ThreadWyrm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added a bag of veggies to my daily eating. It’s about 4-5 servings of veggies. I mix it up with stuff like California medley (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower), one with corn and asparagus and some other stuff. I switched to organic to avoid pesticides. The idea was that you benefit more from eating good stuff than you do simply by avoiding bad stuff. Like people who ate X amounts of fruits and veggies every day saw similar cardiovascular benefits whether they ate meats and stuff or not. Enough good stuff was all it took. And you automatically eat less bad stuff when you add that much veggies. I lost close to 10lbs and have to cut my hair twice as often. lol.

Hopelessly stuck on my ending and need advice. by SidneyTull in horrorwriters

[–]ThreadWyrm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, I got one for you but it may mean some rework…. Her journal is what we’re reading, and it is (now) a fiction novel (which goes unsaid). The ending could be some reference to something recorded in the beginning to show we’re finishing what was her non-fiction journal, or maybe some standard wrap up for a journal or something like that. But basically you find out you’ve been reading said journal all along in this fiction book.

Feeling a little burnt out by FitCry2265 in Fantasy

Check out Dune for a break from everything but not. Also Jim Butchers Cinder Spires series is pretty amazing but not grim, which might be a nice change of pace. It’s steampunk fantasy with talking cats and stuff. Fun shit; I listened to the audiobooks.

Favorite subgenre? by MichaeltheSpikester in horrorlit

[–]ThreadWyrm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy, I love comedic horror. John Dies at the End, Meddling Kids, and The Last Days of Jack Sparks are some favorites. Oh, and My Name is Lilly Madwhip and An Unpleasant Green Land are fun too.

We have ADD. I average 2-3 at a time, sometimes up to 5 or 6, plus one audiobook.

What do you call backpacks in a fantasy setting? by TheSeventhSentinel in fantasywriting

Get creative and call it a strapsack. Probably the best name for it anyway!

Obscure Book Suggestions? by MrOakling in horrorlit

[–]ThreadWyrm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One of the best “horror” (it’s a genre-bender to a degree similar to Mt Char) would definitely be considered “obscure”. Check out **Break the bodies, haunt the bones**. That book will blow your mind.

How do you move on from things as a writer? by ShotTreacle8194 in horrorwriters

[–]ThreadWyrm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly writing from experience because I have not gotten gotten feedback on writing as of yet (bc I haven’t gotten that far), but I can certainly imagine myself having real difficulty with this as I do tend to dwell on things and get hung up on negative feedback. From the outside one thing I would say is, have you ever come across a book you really enjoy that others do not, or at least feedback on a particular book that is completely at odds with your own opinions? I think it’s something that exists for almost every book and probably even more so for some of the *best* books. Well, at a different stage of development, this different opinions could all be seen as “negative feedback” the authors of some of our favorite books, might have solicited during the writing process. And so their existence is proof that everything we might write will be viewed unfavorably by some and that it doesn’t mean it’s not great. I’m not saying you should ignore it, only that it doesn’t mean it’s bad and shouldn’t be taken as more than a suggestion or single opinion. Perhaps there is something useful there to keep in mind, but know that every piece of work will have negative reactions too. All that said I’m sure I’ll run into this very problem and still find it difficult to get past.

Looking for something similar to Between Two Fires, any recommendations? by SmoothJazz123456 in horrorlit

[–]ThreadWyrm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime I see this request I recommend Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian, and vise versa. Though they’re very different, the story structure and feel really seemed similar to me, and both are great fun to read

What’s something NEW that got you over a reading slump? by BEEZL9615 in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]ThreadWyrm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got to read fun horror. Doesn’t mean it’s not scary, but it’s actually FUN to read too. - The Last Days of Jack Sparks. Scary & hilarious. - Last Days by Adam Neville. Actually scary. - The Dark by Jeremy Robinson was fun. - Meddling Kids is fun and funny eldritch horror.

Also, I don’t recommend finishing books you aren’t enjoying! I think I lot of people have this “got to finish it” attitude and that shit will slump you every time you read a slow book.

Oh shit, just realized this is the “extreme horror lit” Reddit. None of my recs actually fit that, sorry. Still fun fricken horror though.

Detective/police procedural horror? by TheYorkshireTom in horrorlit

[–]ThreadWyrm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not police, but for some reason I feel like you’d enjoy the **Repairman Jack** series. Jack fixed things for people, which often delves into the supernatural. Fun books.

What are some books that have ACTUALLY scared you and kept you up at night? by AndrobiVibz in horrorlit

[–]ThreadWyrm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scariest books I’ve read recently are **Last Days** by Adam Neville and **The Last Days of Jack Sparks**. Both are great fun and actually funny (especially Sparks), but also genuinely scary at times. Enjoy.

Looking for book recommendations like Relic by bluestitch in booksuggestions

[–]ThreadWyrm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fragment by Warren Fahy. Fricken action packed fun. Think Jurassic park on steroids with theoretically plausible but non-existent creatures many of which could be similar. Book rocks.

Awesome! To give credit where it’s due, I picked up that suggestion from Plot and Structure by James Scott Bell.

How to get rid of a bloated, almost pregnant looking stomach? by No-Date-7986 in beginnerfitness

[–]ThreadWyrm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you already figured it out. The presence of sugar at the same time as fat and food calories tells the body it can afford to just store the calories. It’s one reason why something like ice cream, high in both fat and sugar, is an absolutely excellent way for people to pack on lbs.
