Fun things to do while you're stuck in the house

-

You've been in the house too long, and if you're about to go mad like Heath Ledger while he was preparing to be the Joker in The Dark Knight, then you need some serious help before you start asking people how you got those scars.

In the daily grind, many people had no time for exercise, and they grew too squishy. Well, now's your chance to start looking fine again.

https://www.youtube.com/user/TiffanyRotheWorkouts: This lovely lady is the happiest workout lady I ever did see. She gives pep talks in the middle of the workouts and her energy just pops from the screen. What's best is that these workouts are free and there are hundreds of them. She works that nasty back, too, and does standing ab workouts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XBicA9rBpE: all the Windsor Pilates workouts have been downloaded onto YouTube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtn9KJSaoiQ: all the Tai Bo workouts have been downloaded.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vTJHUDB5ak: Yoga is all over the place in YouTube. I like this one because it helps when I have a stiff neck and shoulders.

Aside from these, you can also take VR tours of castles and museums. The one I like best is Waddesdon Manor.  https://waddesdon.org.uk/the-collection/virtual-tours/

A good scare now and then is the best. If you need something to really scream at, check these out.









Some of these have been turned into series by the gamers, so you can watch an episode a night.

Also, hospitals have been asking for home made face masks and they have tutorials online on what to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O88qNImD8M

Of course, after watching some of them, I was like, would the hospitals take a bandanna from me to tie around their faces like the train robbers in the Old West?

Have a good day, everybody!

PS, starting March 31, "Pariahs" will be free on kindle until Friday.

    Good list! Fortunately, I'm blessed to live in a less populated area, so I can take daily walks or jogs while social distancing because I suck at yoga.:-)

      I'm glad you can get out. :D I suck at yoga, too. The one I linked has no weird poses and stretching involved.

Why I left Twitter. Now I'm free!

Twitter. Yuck. Bleah. The place has become a toxic mire. In 2012, I joined Twitter, because I was told it was a good place to promote myself. I gained over 10,000 followers and was heading for 11,000. The rules when I signed up said, "Always be kind and courteous." So I was. In the last few years, there have been droves of people being absolute trolls, jerks, and taking offense at every tiny thing, to the point that everyone had to mince their words. Twitter didn't kick these scumbags off. I began to realize that after every session on Twitter, I came off upset and frustrated. There is a writing community there who lauds itself as extremely supportive. It's filled with self-proclaimed authors who laugh at procrastinating their writing. They have memes stating, "If you're a writer, you're on Twitter right now and thinking you should be writing." Another one was, "If you SAY you're a writer, then you're a writer."

One Star Reviews Usually Reflect The Reader

-

One star reviews suck, but they reflect the reader more than anything else. One I got from a woman who said she would post her review on Amazon if she gave it a three or higher. She also promised to buy the book, too, after she picked out the books she wanted to read. She picked mine, but a few months later, she asked if I could send it to her for free. I should have listened to the red flag that went up, but I didn't. The woman was already untrustworthy. I sent her a PDF file. She went onto her YouTube and complained about my book in the most condescending way. After I got over the stings enough to think clearly, I began to realize she complained about things that weren't true. She said there weren't enough explanations for this or that. Guess what, those things had ample explanations. I realized she didn't even read the book, but skimmed over it. Some of what she said were outright lies. Luckily her YouTube views could be counted on one hand. The other review was most

Working with KDP vs Author Central on salvaging reviews

-
Image
All right, so yesterday, I had contacted both KDP Customer Support and Author Central about salvaging book reviews. Author Central answered me first and said I could save my reviews even with a different author name and different cover with a different title. I spoke to Author Central twice before KDP even answered me. I sent the old and new ISBN numbers to Author Central. My old reviews from "Pariahs" were saved and are now on "Nri Kryne's" sales page. All this was done before KDP answered me back with a "you can't save your reviews because they're different products even if the content is the same." If you want to salvage your reviews, DO NOT go through KDP Customer Support. Work with Author Central. If you really want anything done, go through Author Central. They're the ones who put my book on more categories than the two you have to pick on publishing your book.
