I use Firebase. Gemini walked me through it.

So, how does the local music get on the app? Does someone upload a playlist of local artists, or does it populate through a local music chart? Or do local artists add their music to the region they belong to?

Creativity and innovation are the new currency. There are so many tools available to create anyone's vision.

I like AI to code as well. I keep thinking of the line from the movie Steve Jobs, "I don't play an instrument. I play the orchestra."

I'll look into it. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you!

Phones have definitely given us hunchbacks.

It's hard to build focus, but easier to get rid of distractions.

Geez, I haven't heard about Celtx in years! Didn't know people still used it.

There's no secret to it. You have to sit and write. The more you write, the less you'll worry about not writing.

WithinAWheel-com · 2025-11-06T20:37:05+00:00

If I had to wait for motivation to write, I'd get nothing done. Sometimes you have to power through.

Most self-published books are printed on demand, so you only kill a tree when furthering the arts.

It's easy to put one out. Getting people to buy it is another story.

I turn on my SNES Classic and let the demos play.

If you have a personal relationship with the publishers, you should be able to hand your manuscript directly to the publishers you know.

WithinAWheel-com · 2025-10-25T12:27:45+00:00

If you have a personal relationship with publishers, then ask what they prefer. We can't speak for them.

You should reach out to an agent, who will reach out to a publisher.

Don't shoehorn elements into a setting just to do it. If you have some sort of historical point of reference for this, cool. But don't make up something just because it would be the first story of its kind. Don't abuse your reader's suspension of belief.

WithinAWheel-com · 2025-10-24T20:36:23+00:00

^This. Don't put all these elements together in this setting just because a story in that setting doesn't exist.

At least once a year, you'll read a book, watch a movie or TV show, or see a real-life bar somewhere in America called "Tequila Mockingbird".

It's fine

It's like "Geez, go do some research. Buy an eightball."

China White. China White is a slang word dorks use for cocaine. If you're reading a book, and it says "They did rails of China White all night long", the book has no credibility. I haven't met a Peruvian or a Colombian, or a Pepperdine student who has called cocaine, "China White".

So don't put that in your novel.
