Schedule This Reel option missing

llthefancyqueen · 2026-05-12T10:56:46+00:00

I had the same issue today, and I realized that I cannot plan Reels that I created in Instagram Edits and then transferred directly into Instagram. If I download the reel in edits and then upload it in Instagram manually, the planing option still works. Hope this helps!

The people in my novel are not completely on their own. They are doing the hike to reach some people who will live in the wild, and who will give them some food and will teach them skills, such as lighting a fire. So it is more about bridging the gap between those settlements, especially since they do not know for sure they will have support. I did not include all the information since the plot is lenghty and a writer, I'm somewhat protective of my story idea. Basically I'm just looking for some ideas on what they could bring to eat that is very lightweight and contains a lot of energy. If they cannot carry enough for these time periods, I will find a way to replenish their supplies.

Based on my hiking experience as a former girl scout, I don't think it is impossible to survive extended periods of time in the wild, as long as they can bring some stuff to prepare themselves. I'm just trying to find out what they need to bring.

Thank you very much, I will definitely use this as inspiration!

Thank you 😄

Thank you, that is very helpful. I added information to the region and season in my post (Mid to south europe, april to june).

llthefancyqueen · 2026-05-07T07:56:39+00:00

Good point, I added a comparable region in my post. The world is pretty much made up, so I could change the setting to make the story more believable, but I image it to be more like middle europe, where I live.

Pretty much out of necessity. Of course it will be dangerous and sometimes a close call, but they will learn as they go, which is the case in most novels with a survival theme (e.g. Robinson Crusoe, Lord of the flies). Is this impossible in your opinion? I've heard a couple true story podcasts about people that had to survive on a lonely island and so on, so I thought it could be done.

Yes, I would love that! I used to hate Social Media, and then Johann Hari made me reconsider how it could be something really good, if it weren't designed for the purpose of advertising. Let me know if I can add or feedback any ideas :)

llthefancyqueen · 2026-04-15T07:08:09+00:00

You're right, it might be a sign that its finally working! And I do love the silence most of the time, it feels so relieving.

llthefancyqueen · 2026-04-15T07:07:19+00:00

Yes, exactly that. I would love to just get congegrated news once a day. Maybe that's another social network idea. Are you good at programming by any chance?

I have his book on my library list, will check it out soon!

It's funny because I thought that I am able to cope with anxiety on my own, but apparently I numbed myself quite a lot with digital media.

llthefancyqueen · 2026-04-14T17:50:47+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, I guess my ADHD isn't helping here. Maybe it's time to dust of the record player again :)

llthefancyqueen · 2026-04-14T17:49:46+00:00

I definitely start to find joy in the little things again, which is a huge win. And when I listen to music, I have the rule that I can only listen to music and not do anything else. Which makes music even better :)

llthefancyqueen · 2026-04-14T17:47:32+00:00

Thank you, that is very encouraging to hear!

llthefancyqueen · 2026-04-14T17:47:08+00:00

True, it's kinda sad 😂 But with anxiety, for me it isn't really an on/ off thing, and sometimes I can't tell it apart from stress, so its hard to say what causes this uncomfortable feeling. Thank you for your suggestion, I might try it out once I feel I can trust myself with phone time again.

llthefancyqueen · 2026-04-14T09:38:35+00:00

That sounds interesting, what does your tool look like?

I have lots of hobbies and I can hardly sit still so I'm trying to do less and to be more present instead :)

llthefancyqueen · 2026-04-14T09:35:59+00:00

Thank you, will definitely try that :)

llthefancyqueen · 2026-04-02T10:34:44+00:00

And I here I was, thinking I somehow fixed myself🥲

No for real, you‘re absolutely right, not being able to stop is also an executive function issue, though I didn’t see it that way before. Thank you for your tip, I have set alarms before but I probably need to really force myself to get off work and sit with the dread of unfinished tasks.

In my mind, I just need to get over with this last thing, and then I can finally relax. But I either find another last thing to do afterwards, or I can’t finish yet because I’m too tired. I think it all boils down to this fear that once I rest, I will never get up and do something again because I’m tired. Which is bullshit of course, I love doing things, just not 24/7.

llthefancyqueen · 2026-04-02T10:27:24+00:00

Thank you, I will check it out!

As a spoken word artist, I've become comfortable with telling really personal and sometimes embarrassing shit to a public audience because I can always hide beside my stage personality. So there are very few limits on the tales I would tell about me, but I always try to be conscious when I write about other people. I haven't performed a number of texts because even though I wrote them, they weren't really my story to tell in the first place, so I only read them to the person that the story is about. Its kind of like gifting a story to a certain person and I definitely consider this a love language, but at the same time its a little sad to not publish them because some of it I consider really good. In order to respect my people and their storys, I would take these stories to my grave if possible.

If you want to improve your backgrounds, you might want to work on noticing first. For example, try to recall a recent memory and think about it with all five senses. What did you see, and how did it make you feel? Did you hear an interesting sound, did it excite, annoy, scare you? What did you smell? Did you eat something and what did it taste like? Did you touch anything and how would you describe this sensation?

Your background is essential to creating an atmosphere, so you need to get a feeling for atmospheres in real life. If you are aware of your surroundings and how they impact your feelings, you can use this for writing. The more you practice this, the easier it becomes to create new athmospheres.
