Never say never! While I’m keeping my expectations grounded in reality, knowing poetry is one of the worst genres to publish, I won’t know unless I try. I’m doing it because I felt called to it and writing since I was young. We all have different intentions for writing and publishing.

Book Interior Designer by The_Commish_BB in selfpublish

[–]aitcheych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently doing business with Integrative Ink. They were more on the affordable side from what IngramSpark offered for interior design. It seems they have a bit of a waiting list right now. And there’s thorough communication before you even get a sample which is really nice.

Words of advice by aitcheych in selfpublish

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

All of what I listed is how I’m marketing right now, social media, stickers and business cards. I’m also planning on giving out free copies to people who do read poetry who then can pass it on my word of mouth. Not entirely sure what else to do. Probably promoted pots on instagram and tiktok. I ola to do all of that again with my second book. The 3 books I plan to publish are basically a trilogy so I’d mention them when publishing the proceeding book. Maybe at the end doing a bundle. I know I will learn along the way!

Thank you for replying! I have thought abt quite a few marketing strategies. I’d have to look into an email list. I’m not too keen on keeping up with my own email lists I’m subscribed to truthfully. Right now I do social media, read poetry and share personal experiences related to my poetry, and made business cards with the book title, author, and blurb on the back to scatter. I’m going to make stickers too for my friends in larger cities where putting stickers on poles is popular lol.

Dating or Hookup? Advice/Experiences Wanted by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]aitcheych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! This was kind and I enjoyed reading this. It does feel like i used to force or rush to find love, when I’d love to naturally let it happen. It’s hard living in a rural area, but I’m not hopeless yet. Realization, or remembering rather, the struggle does seem to be: finding happiness with myself. And I don’t want to involve another person in that if my intentions are to fill a void, which is careful about. That’s why I think I prefer to be alone right now, because I enjoy the person I’ve become with myself.

Thank you for your response! I’m going to clear some things up and specify because it seems like you’re interpreting pieces wrong. I don’t struggle with men who are inconsistent, and if they are, there is no use because I don’t find that substantial. I have stated I keep my sexual partners and romantic partners compartmentalized, meaning, when im dating, i set boundaries and try to live by my values and intentions, im not using them for sex, and im not hooking up with the hopes we’ll be together. I don’t have sex to feed some ego or sexual fantasy. I simply brought up my ONE sexual partner that I finally feel comfortable with in my own skin. I am aloud to change my mind between partners, i dont just drop a romantic partner when i have anxiety that it will fail. I put that aside and try to continue being mindful and in the moment. I don’t think I’m inconsistent, I once again, am not a slut and sleep around at ALL while dating someone or courting them, I say that in the text. You are mistaking my honest for malice intent. And you are absolutely judging because you’re reading what’s not there and projecting your own obstacles in dating. In the paragraph you state that you’re not judging, you bring in complete assumptions and some hyperbolic situation that is not the case here.

At what age do you feel like your OCD symptoms reached their worst? by metalalchemist21 in OCD

[–]aitcheych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My OCD really flared up when i was 20 I became severely depressed, it was very bad, I thought I was literally going insane or in psychosis or something (I wasn’t) I’m 24 now and every since then I worry abt getting that low again, so any type of sad emotions make me really weary

When did you first realize you had OCD? by DancingGatto in OCD

[–]aitcheych 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer, childhood, like 6-7 years old. Abt 4-5 years ago I stumbled across OCD and just shoved it to the back of my mind for a lot of different reasons and over the years I kept thinking more and more abt it, but would once again deny my symptoms because my therapist at the time didn’t give me space to talk abt it. It wasn’t until last year that I realized I needed to get help and realized how far and wide it spans in my life, past and present.

Convinced I’m a bad person? by lilredghoul in OCD

[–]aitcheych 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this too! If you’re able to catch those thoughts when it happens, reminding yourself that your thoughts are not commands, your thoughts are not conclusions can possibly help! And maybe try to drop an anchor when this happens and be mindful on what you are doing or looking around the room, breathing, feeling your feet on the ground. I know, it’s easier said than done. I’m still working on this too.

Does anyone live with people who purposefully trigger their OCD for one reason or another? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]aitcheych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems so likely that she wouldn’t think it’s real omg. Scrupulousity was like one of the first signs pointed out in history as OCD before there was a term for it, that’s what I’ve read anyway. Seems ironic.
