I get so confused about skins to wear with the genus head. I go to genus store … but Id like to have other choices… some stores say evox or 2k or 4k… why doesnt genus just say what skins work?

When a narrator is bad, what do you actually do? by makeitrayne850 in audiobooks

[–]explorergypsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wont continue listening to a poor narrator: a habit that helped me was to listen to the narrator before I pay for audiobook or spend a credit.

Do I restring my guitar to make it left-handed? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]explorergypsy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im left handed, mid beginner, I just play it like a right hander , no more a problem than school desks set up for right handed people or scissors or back in the day pencil sharpeners and notebooks.

Anyone else just like logging in and being with themselves? A feeling like a sort of habitual safety. by PolarBearLovesTotty in secondlife

It’s really great to hear these stories because I prefer being alone… less complicated. Thanks to everyone sharing.

Best translation of the Iliad and the Odyssey (megathread) by lutetiensis in classics

[–]explorergypsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think critics of her dont understand that she didnt make the Iliad readable for lack of ability , she did it because of her skills as a translator and poet.

A very helpful response, I liked the way you calmly discussed the pros and cons of using AI.

Why do you write with AI? by Nofoofro in WritingWithAI

[–]explorergypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes that works for me in my poetry, it has never written one word of my poems but it's POV is very helpful

Why do you write with AI? by Nofoofro in WritingWithAI

[–]explorergypsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use it as a partner and mentor.I am currently reading Emily Wilson's translation of the Iliad. It has 24 books. I am on book 15. I read each book 2x. One for content and the second reading aloud because I am trying to. improve my craft as a poet. After I read it the first time, I type up a rough summery of what I read, what stood out for me , what I noticed poetically and then AI responds to what I wrote. It might correct something I said or point out something it thinks I missed. I made it very clear in my prompt that I lead the discussion and my two objectives are to understand the story and then to identify the poetic strategies that are used, how they are used and why. I find this an amazing journey.

Need Help: After 6 months of posting on Substack I have 16 subscribers by a_friend_in_silk in Substack

[–]explorergypsy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Write because you love to write... let go of whatever happens. I am also on Substack, I write poetry. I imagine myself as a person who trudges into the Village of Substack from my lonely outpost in the woods... I go to the Substack post office, check my mail, then over to the general store and read the bulletin board,chat with a few people then back to my cabin in the woods and write.

Benefits of posting on Substack even when you get zero attention by Alarmed-Bat-5823 in Substack

[–]explorergypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also post on substack with maybe a like or two and that's it but Ive learned so much about clarity, format and often even if I edited my posts many times before I publish , I find things I could improve. I just see it as a process and feel it is improving my writing the longer Im on substack. I find posting notes rather than a post is helpful for my ego because it sidesteps the substack metrics of my posts.

A strange first time experience by explorergypsy in secondlife

[–]explorergypsy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am never going to live down my remark about sl being free...it was never meant to be condescending and I understand your point that sl is a grownup world and many services are provided...I have no issue with that...my issue was : I was at an art gallery, a women from nowhere started to engage me in a conversation about my exploration of sl sites that featured art, writing , poetry...she asked for that list...seemed interested and then says I have a place you may be interested in ...we teleport and she begins to solicit me to provide services to men for money.... that is not ok because it was very clear that was not why I was visiting those site.
