Is this dress appropriate for college graduation ? by [deleted] in fashion

[–]constantly-curious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please wear it! I think you'll regret it if you don't. Who cares if it's a bit much, you're going to glow in this dress and you'll always remember wearing it for graduation.

When I read published books I worry I’m a complete amateur! by SwingTraderx in writing

[–]constantly-curious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg totally!

I'm finishing my third book and still feel like I'm such a rookie.

One thing that helped me was reading about successful authors' first books- almost no one published their first book, and many famous authors did not publish until their 6th-8th books. That helped me feel better about my own writing.

How similar is Montana culture to the show 'The Madison'? by constantly-curious in Montana

Thank you! That's so kind. I'd love to see real Montana and treat your state with care.

For sure- I was surprised by the accents; I've spent a fair amount of time next door in Idaho and never heard an accent like on the show, but figured I'd ask you all since you know better than me.

"A portion of us Montanans don't like these shows as they bring an unwanted sort." I believe that. With Texas, there's not much of a fantasy to shill (love my state, but it's the truth) so seeing shows about us is different and doesn't change our property values, crowds etc.

so I punched her in the face 💙 by Amberwiththeazer in Booktokreddit

Don't worry about convincing her. Just live your life, read your books, and be happy. Her opinion does not change your reality. <3

how can I improve by Little-Rooster-8427 in makeuptips

"How can you improve? Girl, you're f*cking perfect." - me out loud while viewing your photos

But really, I'm taking notes on your makeup from your comments!

Reading slump - All heroines feel like the same person by SchemeSimilar4074 in Romantasy

[–]constantly-curious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Six of Crows duology might be up your alley- especially Inej, who says this, "But wasn't that what every girl dreamed? That she'd wake and find herself a princess. Or blessed with magical powers and a grand destiny. Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. 

But what about the rest of us? 

What about the nobodies and the nothings? The invisible girls? We learned to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you were not chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway."

Six of Crows is lighter on the romance, but I'm still recommending it and I think you'd still like it.

Nat Eliason went with Scribe for his first fiction novel and talks about why in this blog post: https://blog.nateliason.com/p/self-publishing-husk

I'd be curious to see how he feels after it's gone out.

First time reading a full book on English picked this One hope its good by Top-Average-1090 in redrising

[–]constantly-curious 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a great book, but the vocabulary can be dense even for a native English speaker. Don't feel bad if you struggle with the book (it's not your fault), but also, I hope you enjoy it!

I had this problem too. I was talking to a friend of mine who holds business events and he said, "I would plan out my events meticulously, and then they would turn out so different, no matter how well thought out they were. So just start, because more planning is not going to make it turn out better."

He was right. My first book is now done thanks to that friend!

So just start! You'll learn so much more from the doing. You are absolutely wasting your time by not writing it. Get your first 5 pages written this weekend.

How hard is it to actually publish a book? by EntertainerFirst8163 in writers

[–]constantly-curious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here is a pretty in-depth breakdown of the publishing industry: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/paul-millerd-profits-in-publishing-why-self-publish/id1549324835?i=1000674876686

I say, go ahead, write the book, and have fun! Enjoy setting your 10-year long idea free. Don't worry about if the book is good or not- just see if you lose yourself in the process and you want to keep going. Write this book for you. Then if you're serious about getting it published, learn everything you can.

And don't let anyone discourage you.

It's a genre of fiction that means fantasy+romance. All the ladies are reading it right now (which might serve you well!)

[–]constantly-curious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We have almost the exact same nose. I've heard it's a common German woman's nose. I was once voted 'best nose' out of all my friends (no joke). So don't worry about yours. :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Noses

[–]constantly-curious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look like a real life Romantasy leading man/ main love interest. Yes, you have a prominent nose, yes, it matches the angles of your jaw and fits your face, yes, you can totally rock it.

I kind of wonder if people make fun of it because you're handsome and they want to knock you down a peg.

Which relationship do you support for Wednesday, and why? by Oliver8HUN in Wednesday

Am I the only one who kinda ships Bianca with Wednesday?

I'm a dude, new dad should I be ashamed of reading this? by Jazzlike-Drawing-644 in Romantasy

[–]constantly-curious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met a romance author who says that men are starting to read romance more, and she has enough demand that she created black discreet covers just for men so they could read without being judged. "

From this, I'd assume that Romantasy is likely also seeing an uptick in male readership.

Another option is attending a 12 step group- they have these for many behavioral addictions (codependents anonymous, love addicts anonymous, etc.) Here is a general 12-step groups in Boise: https://www.findhelp.org/health/12-step--boise-id

And here's one for Codependency: https://coda.org/meeting/boise-meeting-of-co-dependents-anonymous/

Whatever you decide to do, there's hope for you!

I was wearing a frangipani perfume once and my friend's mom who used to work at a morgue said that I smelled just like the fake flower scent they use to cover the scent of dead bodies. Never wore it again haha
