The last time it happened, it was Civ VI. This time it was Stellaris.

Wow, I didn't know you could do that, @Cia, that's super useful! Thanks!

You as well, Rick! Take care! ❤️

It's going well. Chapter 39 is with my editor. Hopefully I'll get to post it in the next couple of days or so, and I'm already working on the next one, too. Feels good to be writing it again. I actually think maybe my meds were to blame again. Maybe the higher dose made it harder to be creative again. So I should thank the side effects that made me lower it, really, lol

We are. And not at all referring to here. I was just in a conversation where someone asked for advice, I gave it, was ignored, only for someone else to give the exact same piece of advice and be thanked for it. It's not the first time I've felt disrespected by this person. I shouldn't let it get to me, but it is what it is.

I'm all right. A little bit agitated, I had a negative interaction online first thing in the morning, lol! But I'll feel better soon.

Morning, DiC! How is everyone? Hope you all have a good day!

Well, I did actually tell you how to see the reviews as well, maybe you should have read my entire post? I guess you and I read books differently. I look at genre, tags, and description. Those things together can tell you a lot, imo. As for whether there are reviews or not, there's not really much anyone can do about that, other than review other people's stories.

I should not be allowed to play strategy games. Like, ever. The sun is rising... Goodnight, DiC!

Woot! I finished the first draft for the next chapter of Storms! It is now with my editor. I'm so excited to be writing!

Good job! That's a great first step. Glad it went well!

Another way to learn about various authors is to check out @Carlos Hazday's Ask an Author blog posts. They can be found in the Author News blog here.

Babe, you're 30 (according to your profile, anyway). You are young. You have to be, cause I'm 31 and I'm young.

The number of reviews thing isn't how many reviews the author has received but how many they've written. If you want to read the reviews for an author's works, the easiest way of doing that is to go to their story page and scroll through. Generally, any story with stars attached has reviews. Keep in mind that stories without reviews aren't necessarily not good, they just didn't have readers who bothered leaving reviews; not everyone feels comfortable doing that. As for what reviews people have written, it's actually pretty easy to find. Click on 'See their activity'. You'll get a sidebar where you can choose the type of activity, and there you can select 'Story Reviews'. You can also see all story comments a member has made, and any stories they have beta'd or edited. As for About Me sections, that's something all members have. You don't necessarily learn anything about an author's work from that. Honestly, as with books anywhere else, the best way to figure out whether you'll like an author's work is to read it. Find a blurb that intrigues you. Give it a chapter or so. If you don't like it, stop reading. And as opposed to other books, here you don't even have to buy it to find out. Personally, it takes about five minutes of my time to figure out if a story is for me or not.

It's a liberating choice, I think. At least it has been for me, though I'm still kind of in the process of coming out as trans. I hope that coming out will grant you peace and happiness. Best of luck! And no matter what, we will all be here for you. Morning, DiC! Hope you all have a good day.

Only reason I'm not just watching the whole thing in a day is cause I'm watching it with Paul and we're restricted to the time between dinner and him leaving for work.

Paul and I started on Stranger Things 3 last night. Three episodes then, three episodes this evening. So we have two left to watch tomorrow. Some shows are harder than others not to binge, damn.

Have managed to get some writing done today! Woot! Daring to hope that this means I'm out of my rut.

Morning, DiC. Hope everyone's well. Have a good day!

Goodnight, DiC. See you tomorrow!

Ooh, me too, please!

Hey, @Brayon, how are you doing?

Enjoy it!

It means they've got a lot of reacts. Likes and hearts and stuff. If a post gets more of those than most, it's marked as 'popular', I guess.
