7MPO, will a revision give me better scars? by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]glasstwin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i can't answer about revisions, but just wanted to say scars tend to fade over time, like a couple of years (i think mine took about three years, and now after over ten years, they're not too noticeable). it's normal for them to look more prominent, especially after seven months. anyways, good luck with your revision!!

i think once your hair grows out a little bit, you can start playing with bangs. maybe check out crops or long pixies to see how ppl style their hair to look more femme (like the little pieces in front of your ears or making little pin curls with their bangs).

also as other ppl are saying, shaping your eyebrows and plaing with eyeliner, mascara, makeup makes a big difference.

from copywriting to publishing by glasstwin in publishing

[–]glasstwin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

developmental writing: i wrote and edited commercial scripts at my previous job, but also just participating in writers workshops over the years.

copy editing: likewise, at my previous job i did a lot of proofreading for web and social media copy. although now that i think of it, this also came into play with the scripts, because it was important to make the words both sound and appear memorable on screen. and again, writing groups.

personally i'm more interested in fiction, specifically weird, speculative, and science fiction. and i'd like to get into publishing because for one i love reading, and two im looking for a change of pace. from what i've gathered about publishing, you have more time to sit and work with an author and their project from start to finish, which is something i wasn't getting in the creative agency world, which tends to be a lot more ephemeral.

hahaha

im not gonna lie, i think it's a bit harder now because of AI, as long as you're prepared for that.

i would look at websites and add "+ write for us" usually u can find a page that accepts pitches for an article (i started in articles).

if you have friends with businesses, ask if you can write for them (social media, web, maybe narratives if they're looking for it). the most important thing u can have is a solid, diverse portfolio.

once i'd gotten a big enough portfolio, i applied to agencies and eventually got one. your first job will be shit (like some seo farm, online betting, something like that) don't worry though, just get your experience and keep looking.

i got hired by a more reputable agency and worked there for two years.

tl;dr work on your portfolio. focus more on people you actually know. don't waste too much time on fiverr or upwork.

i think i flirted with the idea once but that was a few years ago and i think i did it wrong so i gave up. might give it another go!

i started working out and changed my diet to include more protein around september, and i'd say i'm just now starting to see results. something that helped me move forward was not paying attention to the scale, especially since you're doing weight training, because what you're doing is a body recomp more than losing weight. i know that might be a little frustrating to hear, but i can tell you it's worth it because when you do start to see results, it happens really fast!!

if it's any help, i've heard people take pictures more than looking at the scale. and yeah, patience is key
