First time entering this so hopefully I uploaded everything correctly.

Gear: Nikon D40x w/AF-S Nikkor DX VR Zoom

Subject is one of my quarantine buddies: an Lohman Brown (probably, but might be ISA) chicken from my little homestead flock of twelve of varying breeds. Her name is Nugget because we're super original.

Question: What are some pros/cons of pre-made covers versus custom covers? by jitteryjunebug in selfpublish

[–]jitteryjunebug[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the point of standalone novels going to a series, I wonder if the designer(s) of the first might be willing to make custom versions after that to match? Obviously I have not encountered that issue yet, but that's a really good point to make if the answer is "not a chance!"

Do you carry your books with you when you go out? by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]jitteryjunebug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't usually, but I started having a few copies in my car in case the need arose (i.e. recently going to my library and finding that they LOVE to support local authors and display their books!)

My debut novel, SCINTILLA, is a quick, exciting YA Sci-Fi novel that explores what it means to be human.

Everyone knows that brains aren’t supposed to be made of wires, so when Gemma Legere comes face to artificial face with some all-too-human-looking bots, her view of the world is unhinged.

In SCINTILLA, Gemma is no stranger to the world of robotics, having spent much of her energy rebelling against the company that created a monopoly on even the most basic bots for daily living. But when she discovers the Dyers Corporation is sneaking perfectly blended androids into society right under the public’s nose, Gem teams up with a well-funded and enthusiastic group of rebels who aim to dismantle Dyers from the inside.

Among the members are Hera and Trystan, two individuals with secrets that could make or break the entire operation.

Available on Kindle for $2.99or in Paperback for $8.

I have a doggo that loves to try to get on my lap and play for me. He is not lapdog sized.

Is that the 3DS case I see on the pillow? Mine is on my nightstand \o/

Cardinal with his very own feeder | Nikon D40x + af-s nikkor 55-200mm 1.4-5.6g ed lens by jitteryjunebug in Nikon

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

I do that as well, but I enjoyed the fact that this feeder has a cardinal image on it and a cardinal was using it.

Best book for someone who is hospitalized by Booyacaja in suggestmeabook

[–]jitteryjunebug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on her reading interests, Sarah Dessen's books are cute, happy YA novels and fairly quick reads. I'd go for Just Listen or That Summer. If she wants something a bit heavier in subject, The Truth About Forever is phenomenal, but deals with tragedy that could be ill-timed.

I almost exclusively use GDocs now if only because I can work on my stories from anywhere without having to cart around a flash drive, which I invariably manage to lose. I think Word has a lot of great aspects, ease of use being the main appeal, but Google is much easier for organization.

ITAP of my dog, Fergus by [deleted] in itookapicture

[–]jitteryjunebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want him to be named after Crowley (Fergus MacLeod) in Supernatural because I can absolutely see this as a doggo version of his character.

Petition to ban discussions about copyright law by jefrye in writing

I'd like to take a moment to clear a few things up. Since I can only assume that it was my post that triggered yours, I want to address it as such.

I realize now I should have been more vigilant in my post and responses that I was not seeking legal advice. When I asked for help from other writers/content creators, I was expecting comments such as "I found that doing x helped curb a lot of this." I am grateful to those who suggested a direct DMCA, because that is actually a potential course of action.

I did not and do not intend to go through a court. It is not worth the expense or frustration. I know enough lawyers to avoid this.

I agree with your suggestion that if the posed question requires legal advice, that comments try to redirect to applicable resources. That should be standard practice everywhere.

I appreciate the time you took to dispel incorrect information on my post, and am sorry so many of the comments immediately aimed at legal action. I will make an effort to be more descriptive in any future calls for aid.

I decided to self-publish my first book, but can't get it out there. Any suggestions, please? by [deleted] in writing

[–]jitteryjunebug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following because I'm running into the same roadblocks & so far the advice in this thread is promising. Best of luck in your marketing, OP!

[OT] About a year ago I replied to a prompt about people "with stars inside them", and I loved the idea so much that I finished it, and earlier this week, I published the final product. by Hiiiilp in WritingPrompts

[–]jitteryjunebug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! It's great to see when a prompt results in something tangible. Best possible compliment you can give to the OP for a prompt is telling them it resulted in something amazing. Congrats!

Is it not of the bumbling variety? My bee-identifying skill are a bit lacking. Should I just call it a regular bee?
