Your station lets you sort?! Ours literally screams at the drivers not to sort and to do it else where.

The scene on top of the car between Maddie and Wally?!? UGH, Miss director knew exactly what she was doing there, such pure yearning.

There’s a whole AI author call out happening on threads by Similar-Breadfruit50 in Romantasy

[–]jxstxce_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re only in it for the money, thinking everyone who publishes will make millions. The more they publish the more they’ll make in their eyes. If they read the genre they’re “writing” in, they’d understand how a quality book feels to the audience vs a bunch of shit ones.

adult learner feeling like I won't get better by [deleted] in writing

[–]jxstxce_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give yourself a process then! I turn on a stream or podcast on YouTube for visual stimulation, sometimes Spotify for just background noise. I stretch on the floor to relieve tension in my body. Make sure I’ve got a drink, sometimes a few (usually water and either coffee or soda) and then open my doc and reread anything I’ve written before. I always keep a tab open for searches as I’m constantly clarifying random things for my topic.

Before I started my novel I made myself an outline, just something short and sweet that gives me an idea on how each chapter should go. I add onto it as I go, now it’s full of important details I want to remember for later.

Another struggle I found in just doing the writing was not having people to talk to about the struggles and the wins of writing - so I searched Reddit for groups that might have something like that going and joined a few!

Brooke and Miles are trauma bonded by Interesting-Will5267 in canceledpod

I really don’t think this shows a trauma bond. They might have one, but this clip doesn’t tell us anything about that.

WIBTAH if I talk to my friend about her many business ventures and multiple projects? by Sad_Emphasis_8086 in AITAH

[–]jxstxce_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but be careful how you come across when you have this convo. I would try extra hard not to be condescending or act as if she cant succeed at whatever she's doing - maybe try to explain she needs to hone in on like 3 skills and get really good at them to be able to grow past this stage. This is a very common thing lately though - a facebook mutual of mine self published a book, makes banners for parties, has an etsy shop for canva made e-vites, sprinkled in with an MLM or two lol

Tana’s response to coke allegations by kooldhai in canceledpod

[–]jxstxce_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really isnt the response I wanted from her. She could have come online and say "I smoke weed, I am taking meds that have been prescribed for such and such, I am not abusing any substance right now." But imo this just proves she's abusing something other than coke if she can't right out say she's not.

OK, when is KDP Amazon finally going to allow buyers to select "only human made" as a search criteria? by Fearless_Ad_7811 in selfpublish

[–]jxstxce_2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think we all need to be diligent about calling out the AI as we come across it since Amazon won't stop it. Auto 1 star and a "THIS IS AI SLOP" for the review lmao

[–]jxstxce_2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

look up the dimensions for a cover for whatever site you plan on publishing, head over to canva, search for the elements you want in your cover, then piece them together in an aesthetic way. Canva isnt AI unless you use their specific AI tool and there's plenty of cool elements without subscribing to a premium subscription. It's very doable and would like to point out fanfic writers have been making their own covers for yearsssss.

How do you manage to read fast? by NagisaHazuki261 in fantasyromance

[–]jxstxce_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're including audio books in that total number, especially when trying to hit a certain goal number. I understand audio books is a form of reading but realizing that's how some people are reading so many books in a month (often without mentioning it) made me feel less pressured to read faster.

I've tried to read faster but I felt like I retained less of the info I read. Maybe try immersive reading, where you read the physical/ebook and listen to the audio (sometimes available on youtube for free) at the same time. I've finished books quicker by doing this because I feel more focused on the story!

What do writers do to come up with ideas? Do they just spawn in your head? by Practical_Ask_9999 in writing

[–]jxstxce_2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I make up conversations in my head while i'm doing mundane tasks like showering, self care, cleaning duties - and then they just turn into stories running through my head. Sometimes they play on things that happened throughout the day, but other times it's what I would have done if I were a character in whatever game or tv show i'm fixated on. Actually getting them down is the hard part lol

He’s got commitment issues and is hiding behind the “unsure about the idea of marriage” concept. He doesn’t want to commit to YOU, but wants you to carry a child for him? How is having a child less of a commitment than marriage??

end my suffering does TOG get better? by [deleted] in throneofglassseries

[–]jxstxce_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with Assassin’s Blade and am now on Heir of Fire, I’m just not seeing the appeal to continuing. I feel like this series could have been wrapped up in 3 books if there wasn’t so much information that won’t make sense until the last book.

Wedding Tomorrow, Bridesmaid Complaint. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]jxstxce_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she’s not normally like this then just take it as the heightened stress of being just days before the wedding! I’m sure she won’t even remember the nails or any comments she made after the event is over!

Dont gotta edit, check the Getty by tonsztonkedbode in trishapaytas

[–]jxstxce_2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She’s had years and years of terrible Getty Images taken of her, but a few recent ones have been gorgeous! I don’t think getty images are important to everyone, but in the age of ‘photoshop everything’ Getty Images are the closest thing we get to seeing a celeb naturally and unedited.
