I broke up with my girlfriend because she’s left handed.

I admit, it wasn't right.


Reminds me of a girl I used to date.  She lost her leg in a car accident.  Her name was Eileen.

Later, she got a prosthetic and started going by her middle name, Peg.

What are Amazon doing now? [Public] / Re: More Negative Change

They're not taking new categories. The main reason for the 3rd category option was to take this away so their customer service would stop being bothered. I think they were getting inundated with requests (from me too before the changes).

The old keywords still basically work.

I have been able to request additional categories for my books.  The ability has been rescinded.  Emphasis added...

The mudslides began much closer to the mountain peaks than I would have guessed:

I like it, except for the narrator and Bill nailed why.

As always, there are a lot of interesting thoughts here.

I agree that if most of the pictures are going to be photorealistic, the narrator's one should be as well. It raises the question of why that one is different and may draw attention to the fact that AI is being used. (Some people won't care, but it may be a sore spot for others.) All the other images have perfect skin, but otherwise, they look like real people). (That said, I have used Ai images in my own AMS ads--the new format that requires an image for multiple title ads--because I couldn't find a workable stock photo.)

I like it, I think it's innovative (for me — Writeway says others are doing it) and has the incidental effect of your writing and your books dominating the page rather than AMS content. The only criticism is that it took me a while to realise the headshots described other books, not the title above. Maybe subtitle the novel titles in for clarity?

Intuitive! Each of the characters will have a "origins story" in a follow-on book.
