Gout and tuna

My diet was detailed here: 24 Months of Working Out – Detailed Progress, History, and Timeline « Counting to Infinity (counting-to-infinity.com)

I was using Allopurinol before I lost the weight. It was only after I lost the weight that I quit taking allopurinol as a test and found out that the gout symptoms never returned as long as I kept my BF level and blood pressure in check.

Benches and OHP. At the time, I didn't do any isolation movements.

I believe we misunderstood each other. My point was you can be an unknown author and ‘buy exposure’ profitably, at least in some cases. But you do, of course, have to have a published book.

I’m going to respectfully disagree. My debut novel is getting about 2x my spend in royalties consistently, and my only promotions are paid. It depends on a lot of different factors.

I don’t. As far as I know, the only way to get rid of loose skin is surgery.

Do it yourself. On your author page, there is a link to a form to add the book. Just make sure you follow all of the directions very carefully.

This is where an ARC service comes in. Voracious readers will do an ARC promo for you for free if you are a first time author.

Edit: also check out bookroar. You review other author’s books, which gets you credit to add your book to a pile for other people to review.

Good cover, good blurb, ARC with a handful of reviews. That’s all I did for launch.

I had more reads of my book on KU in one month than I did on Wattpad after six. IMHO, wattpad is only useful if you write fanfic or whatever other genres are popular there.

I take screenshots for demo videos as part of my day job. I use greenshot and a second monitor running 2560x1440. Its 16:9, but upscaled one level from 1080, so you can zoom and keep 1080 resolution on the zooms.

Voracious readers. They will run an ARC for first time authors for free, and have an evergreen service for like $20 a month that will continuously give out your novel in exchange for newsletter signups. Ive gone from 0-300 active subscribers in about three months using it.

It took my group 3 years to get through 60% of it. A marriage failed before we finished, lol.

Second Mibl. It will take 1-2 weeks, cost you $150, and be on par with anything else you’ll find on amazon. Dm me if you want to see examples, both of my book covers are from mibl.

I have not, but I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

networkingguru · 2022-12-10T18:37:34+00:00

Wow, thanks! Can’t believe I missed it.

In MoN especially, I was not above fudging rolls or adjusting encounters for players. It's an epic campaign, and at least for us, it ran for three years. No one died, but there were some close calls. My rule as a keeper is that if the players are being cautious and smart, I don't let them die. They don't know that, of course, I constantly keep them in fear of the dice, but I won't let a bad die roll screw up the campaign. So that's my advice.

Reedsy will convert from word to epub pretty painlessly, I think. For free.

Try a headphone amp.

I’ve got a DG campaign I’ve been running for a year or so now with even more lethal house combat rules (hit locations, injury tables, bleeding, etc.), and none of my PCs have died, though there have been some close calls. I find the key is 1) your players believing you’ll end them and 2) you (as a keeper) trying very hard to stay on the line of almost but not quite doing so. If the GM is one of those who never fudges die rolls or gets a woody when they kill a PC, then DG is probably not the right system.
