Fascinating study! I suspect self-pub changes faster than trad pub, but in the 15yrs I’ve been doing this, the impact of many marketing factors has changed substantially. Effectiveness of social media, too. I’ll be really curious to hear about your new results 🙏
Curses on Ravven lolol
No sweepers, no notes. That was wild.
What a beautiful way to put that.
He’s unusual in doing this because he’s white. If he can get more white Christians to think, I’m all for that. But I’m Canadian and even I can name a rich lineage of Black politicians who do and have done this.
I *am* one generation ago. A lot of us are single parents, so yeah, doing it on a single paycheck (in this case, not dad’s). I have managed a home and raising my kids. No car, staycations are fun, wut is pension…
Some nights BlueSky is just awesome.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO MY BRAIN 😭🫣😆
But still.
ALBERTA. 🫨
And also the wider proof from the US that it’s fun to kick bullshit around, but waaaay less fun when the leaders of the bullshit rodeo get into power. The buck needs to stop with someone with common sense, even if you don’t agree with them on lots.
Lmao. I used to read 1000 page tomes, although admittedly they didn’t tend to lean that way. I no longer have the luxury of reading time in adequate chunks, or neurons that can remember nouns (thanks pregnancy and menopause). Go ahead, pat me on the head. I bite.
This is such a cool story. I hope Zoe will keep us updated!
Yeah, I have two kids, so two issue voter, but that’s also one of mine.
Unfortunately I have a complex special needs kiddo and a genderqueer kiddo, and they both require significant support (in very different ways) from gov to live their life. I’m a pragmatist, but for me it’s not enough for them to stay out of my way.
I think current events are extremely edifying on the upsides of having an adult in charge. I don’t agree with him on lots of stuff, but there are zero other viable adult options, so I will take the available one please and thank you (and be really damn glad there is one!).
I did first person present for some spicy romance and then headed back to my very not-spicy fantasy pen name and just kept doing it, because I love it so much. It’s a wee bit more chaotic in a series where books typically have 10+ POV characters, but eh 😆
Hey you have a church so you even have the requisite high ceilings…
Writer and scientist here - niche weird shit is storytelling *gold*. As are the people who know that stuff - excellent character material 😁.
THANK YOU
Soooo bad. Right up there with autocorrect on my phone.
Lots of Francophones in my corner of BC, but yeah, French not necessary.
🤣🤣🤣
I used to teach those classes. Very worth it if you’re scared of the water yourself so you don’t transmit that to your kiddo and learn how to have fun at the pool. Otherwise, just go swim and splash and have fun.
Also my kiddo.
You’re totes gonna win.
Aquila make a set of piccolo strings tuned an octave higher than the regular gcea that will make a sopranissimo sound like it inhaled a helium balloon. Excellent author procrastination material.
The number of parents of autistic kids who will shun vaccines, but try this… 😣😩
Idk what the chair test is but sounds like the tilt table test for POTS (perfectly fine if you don’t have POTS, puke fest if you do). Definitely worth avoiding, go you.
Boring gray bike with a neon pink bell, purple pedals, and vinyl clings in neon pink/green/purple/blue tiger stripes.
I put tiger stripes on my bike
Yeah, and the folks who think this is the most appropriating of land ever meeeeebbe ought to consider the land we swiped from Indigenous Nations for the whole damn transcontinental railroad. Find excited 7yos instead. Or 19yos - mine would gladly volunteer our condo!
