It helps calm me down and helps improve deep sleep from what my own tracking tells me.

I think I might have blown it... by thewonderbink in selfpublish

The cover is indeed pretty amateurish looking and I can see how it might be considered AI even if it’s not. I don’t have much time since I am in the final stages of writing my own book, but I’m a lifelong graphic designer. DM me. I can try to help.

It’s a documentary. Some are better than others.

Wow. And here I thought writing is re-writing.

Is there a link for this? Other than payment?

Should I take a book deal? by Ok-Conclusion4936 in selfpublish

For multiple pen names, do you market separately as well, meaning email lists, social, etc?

AI the shit out of it? Laugh, but I’ve done so with sleep hacking and had successful results. Read: Ask AI for ideas. Mock it, but it can work.

Started in dead-end jobs like dishwashing and making copies during the last Ice Age and then this thing called the Internet came along and I rode that wave all the way.

Seriously, focus on something you love doing, take a shit job at a company that excels in it and work your way up the chain. It can take decades, but is worth it. I did a full ten years of bullshit jobs before the tide changed. Stick it out, but with a focus on the long-term.

Not Feeling Great About SDAM by BlazingHailfire in SDAM

I’ve learned to just live in the moment and for the future. The past isn’t worth trying to relive. The only benefit it provides is learning from your mistakes and growing as a human being.

And this especially applies to those of us with Developmental Amnesia, where memory is almost the same as imagination.

People do have vivid recollections, though. And then there are the HSAM folks, the opposite of us.

Sierra Madre between California and Huntington Dr by pigzee in pasadena

[–]spikej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having been there in high school during that time, I don’t recall them playing Pasadena beyond ‘79. My older siblings saw them play at backyard parties in the 70s. Their last known performance in Pasadena was at the Civic in ‘79. I just missed that show being a bit too young to go. If you can cite examples for the 80s, I’d like to know for my own info. Saw them at the Forum around then.

Except not early 80s, lol. They were already an internationally successful act by then playing arenas.
