I mean, I would absolutely believe that they were lying about it being easy in the first place, yes. Hence not being so surprised now that they're saying it's challenging!
I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know what the potential repercussions can be for that sort of misleading.
It'd be the 3rd book in a series that I still enjoy. I like the characters & have a decent idea of where the plot would go. Readers even concur that they like the MC's trajectory, and are eager for a little romance injected into what's definitely been mostly erotica so far.
My brain is an asshole.
Based on sales trends for the past few months, I know (rationally) what my next project should be. So why can't I command my brain to start working on it?

Okay semi-serious question... if the holy water evaporates, does that mean there's gaseous blessings in the room? Like, not enough to baptize, but enough to funnel a little of the Godhead to you?
If so, does that mean holy water ice is *more* religiously potent? Does the Bible cover any of this?
"This system was never built to taken into account the plainly illegal yet still imposed whims of a fool" actually seems pretty believable, here. I'm genuinely shocked they think they can rework it in 45 days.
Hi yes I have decided I like capitalism now
Woooo! Congratulations! 🥳
Anytime! Sorry I couldn't bring better news 🫠
Latest Chrome is good with Monterey; Firefox is compatible with Catalina. So, either way you'd be good on browser running Monterey.
Some testing feedback (similar MBP to yours, with 8GB not 4GB, but much more ambitious uses): www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comm...
Memory upgrade: eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/...
You can get a 16GB memory upgrade for under $70 (installing is very straightforward). Or, you could try Monterey and see if it's smooth enough for your needs w/o that upgrade. tbh that's probably the route I'd take, personally.
That 4GB is definitely going to be the bottleneck (it's more about how much can run at once than it is file storage). Your model supports up to 16GB; I've found positive reports for Monterey with that full 16GB. That said, they had far more ambitious uses than yours are (video editing etc.)
Sorry, certainly didn't mean to imply otherwise! How much RAM do you have?
Which Mac do you have, specifically? (Apple logo in top left > About This Mac)
I have a short list of very dirty pun titles I'd love to write stories for, but I suspect it'd be more hassle than it's worth attempting to publish them 😂
Yesssss. I wish that quote hadn't stayed so relevant 🫠
I hope it makes up for putting Zuckerberg on your timeline 😂
The "this would be a perfect title" vs "ebook sellers aren't going to like this title" seesaw is always a frustrating one.
Meta's Mark Zuckerberg wearing chunky Orion smart glasses. They look ridiculous, like someone in the design team was told "think stereotypical geek meets raccoon chic"
Oh! I should say that this image used a lot lately - of Zuckerberg wearing Meta glasses - is a bit deceptive, since they're the next-gen Orion version. Not yet commercially available afaik. They're much larger than the RayBans-branded versions currently on sale.
The camera is behind the right lens (facing the glasses); the LED (which is meant to show when the camera is active) is behind the left lens.
A pair of RayBan Meta glasses, with red arrows pointing to the cameras
Not a dumb question at all, tbh. The current ones are still pretty chunky - like, recognizably more so than most plastic frames, but you notice it more in the thicker arms (where the batteries/electronics are) IMO. They have two little lenses, one at each corner.
Sounds like someone needs* another pot of coffee, just to be sure.
*I am not a trained medical professional, though I did have a toy stethoscope as a child.
I'm sure there's a different explanation, one which leaves coffee innocent. Might you be allergic to coffee mugs?
There is a truly astonishing quantity of smoking in this show. Toward the end, I started to laugh out loud every time they lit up yet *another* cigarette 😂
They really are!
Caller ID just says "You Fucked Up" when he calls
Hi Susan! Just to check, are you open to adult romance? Your QueryTracker page suggests not, but I wasn't sure after reading your MSWL posts. Don't want to send you something you aren't interested in! 😁
I mean, I totally get that it's not achievable overnight! 😁 But thinking about how short stories could fit in with longer books, or how chunks cut out during editing could be spun into standalone/adjacent novellas, is a good habit to get into, I think.
"This has gone terribly for everyone else, but it'll be absolutely fine for me" seems to be the perennial thinking for his interviewees, which is impressive for its (wrong) consistency.
