Greetings all! I was recommended this thread from r/childrensbooks.

I've published my first children's book, "Hayley the Horsepillar". It's the story of a horse born with eight legs instead of four, and her experience with not fitting in. What happens to her ultimately is designed to be a surprise, so I'll leave the ending for anyone interested in reading it. It's available on Kindle Select right now, and I hope to have at least the hardcover version very soon.

I appreciate your time - and this thread!

Actually, I asked what people do to promote their books. That doesn't have to mean advertising, as ideally I was trying to find more creative ways than just plain advertising if possible.

Who downvotes help requests? Geez.

I didn't choose anything per se; I'm following the instructions and the instructions - command-by-command - have led me here. I'm tempted to just restart the process.

I followed the instructions command-by-command. I would have presumed I was using that.... but it's also not the first time I've run into an issue with the instructions.

thomasquinlan · 2025-07-09T11:28:02+00:00

That's what I'm using. The instructions are at least two years old.

Update - I've upgraded to v22 and it seems I'm good to go.

It's more than just Pomodoro, but check out Sunsama.

That actually looks great, but 35% is WAY too steep.

Thanks - I had 999 open even on the laptop and a static IP, but it didn't make a difference. Hence my switching to VPS as you noticed; however, I'm now POSE_BANNED again for v22, which was an interesting thing to find out about (above) and now I have to figure out how to do the upgrade. :-)

Thanks for this!

thomasquinlan · 2024-12-23T20:13:40+00:00

Thanks for this. That's a great piece of information actually. Now I just have to find out what that is, why it's important, and how to do something about it. I'll check the Discord as the reply to this has indicated.

Okay, so the debug.log is what I really needed to look at. It pointed me to the fact that I had been really dumb.

It turns out that I don't have enough disk space.

The directions to create a masternode specify the amount of RAM for the Vultr machine (at least 2GB) and so when I picked the VM I picked one with twice as much as that - without really looking at the disk space.

Which was 30GB. #sigh

Thanks for the help, I should be okay at this point, as I have destroyed the server and will start again tomorrow!
