    Trying Out Self-Publishing

    PUBLISHING 
    Thank you! I really appreciate it. :D Yeah, I don't think anyone really knows how it works, haha. It's better to be safe than sorry, though, I guess. It doesn't take that long, either, in the grand scheme of things. I've been pretty busy, so I haven't been hanging around forums very much, but I...

    Trying Out Self-Publishing

    PUBLISHING 
    Thank you, ChickenHawk! :D Your threat was another very helpful one that I read all the way through before starting, so thanks for all of your advice. Yup, I totally agree. I was a little late on the mailing list front since it took me a couple of days to figure out HOW to actually do it, but...

    Thank you very much! It's great to hear from you, I've read through your thread and learned a lot, so thank you for that, too! I hope everything's still going well. Thanks for the suggestion, I think I'm definitely going to give that a go. I actually prefer writing novellas as opposed to shorts...

    Trying Out Self-Publishing

    PUBLISHING 
    Thank you very much! :D I actually stalked all of the other authors here and read through their threads before I decided to venture out on my own, and they certainly have been more than useful. I'm super grateful for all of the help everyone's given! Readers have an option to either borrow or...

    Thank you. :) That's awesome! I've read through your threat and it was very inspiring, definitely motivated me to try out outsourcing at some point. Hoping to have a bundle out later this week! Thanks very much! :) Thank you! Yeah, that's what I'm going for, haha. It's a lot of effort, but I'm...

    Trying Out Self-Publishing

    I'm much more of a lurker on forums and I don't usually post anything, but there are quite a few self-publishing threads on here, it seems, so I thought I might as well add another one. Also, I'm proctastinating right now, so... :D Anyway, I started publishing just over a week ago on the 27th...

    What is your personality? Find it out with a quick test!

    I've done this a few times over the years and get INFP each time. Seems pretty accurate, I think.

    start a business in 24 hours challenge, feedback on my salespage?

    MARKETING 
    For me, the biggest issue about the whole thing is your grammar. When you're selling a book, you want to take every chance you can get to show the reader how good you are with words, and this does the exact opposite. I can spot several mistakes just by quickly scanning the sales page, and...

    How do i learn how to code?

    HOT! 
    My favourite resource is definitely YouTube. Things like Codecademy are good too - they're much more interactive than books, and you can get them for free. Try 'Derek Banas' - you'll either love him or you'll hate him, but he has videos on most languages. His videos can be a little overwhelming...

    How many women are on the fastlane forum

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I've noticed a lot of men (particularly the younger ones, dare I say it) seem to have an unwarranted 'holier-than-thou' attitude on forums such as these, as if they have something to prove. A lot of women just can't be bothered with this sort of thing. I'm probably biased, but a lot of the...

    Stop Saying "Should"

    MINDSET 
    I don't understand why people are being so harsh. Self promotional or not, I liked it. :) I've never actually thought about how much I (and everyone else) do this until you pointed it out. It's definitely interesting to think about.

    Good luck! I'm looking forward to watching your progress. :D Thanks for posting those resources, too! I'm still very new to this, and I have no doubt they'll come in useful.

    Having trouble making small talk; I don't care about other people

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    From experience, I've found out that most people don't often care about what others have to say - everybody loves talking about themselves. Whenever one person tells a story about themselves I find that others seldom ask questions, but instead usually reply by telling a story about themselves...

    Thought you all may enjoy this journey back in time...

    This was a brilliant read, thank you! I love your mentality of dealing with issues as they come up instead of worrying about them in advance, something I definitely need to get much better at.

    Is it really all about who you know...

    MINDSET 
    It's definitely not ALL about who you know - you can know the most accomplished people in the world in your industry but if your idea sucks or you're lazy, you'll get nowhere. Likewise, you can have no connections at all, but if you plug away for long enough and have high standards, you'll stand...

    Losing touch with friends

    PEOPLE 
    Yes, I have exactly the same problem. Most annoyingly, I find out that whenever I do find the time to spend with my friends, I'm still completely absorbed in whatever projects I'm working on, and I can't keep my mind from wandering. I've also stopped watching TV and doing other unproductive...
