THank you. That was my question on your video regarding how to add ads. This helped and I am referring to your previous video to learn this. This helped, although I am still wondering how to place ads on the "sidebar". In a block post let say I ahve the content block and nothing else but I want to add an ad on the side of the content. In Classic themes, I would assume there would be a sidebar widget and in block themes a separate group would be there. In case I dont have a separate placeholder block for the sidebar, can I still instruct this plugin to load ads on the side of the content block automatically? Edit: another situation I am unable to wrap my head around. I see many websites which have a wide ad between the header and the content. Now in block themes, this would be a header and the Content will be in a group/container. How would one place an ad between these two? Do i have to create a separate container to our the ad block there? But if I do that, on browsers where ad blocks are installed wouldn't it leave a wide blank space instead of bringing the header and content/body closer as seen on classic themes? Sorry if these are a lot of noob questions.

Comparison is the thief of joy

Scribus is for typesetting and formatting, design etc. For simple writing you can use notepad and them copy format in Scribus. It can create excellent magazine layouts. I am using it for my Rotary bulletins.

I missed your live,but it’s late and I went to wattpad to read one of your stories while listening to the ocean. Only stayed for round one. Good read.

I had a meeting so I had to bounce. But yes any video you can make on blogging and SEO will help tremendously 🙂

Does this also work on block themes? I am building a site on WP Block themes like 2024 or Spectra. Most tutorials ehoch show how to add ads donit by adding the code snippet to the header.php or body.php file. Id assume in block themes we dont have dedicated jeader.php or body.php files. Can you shed some light on how to add ads on block themes?

Hiw do you remove the number 1 about chapter 1 . I don't want to title the chapter just want it to stay as chapter 1. How do I remove the number above it I want to use the drop cap format also

I want to write poésie and I don't know how to remove the space when I want to write a new verse

What microphone are you using? Or is that a pop filter?

Thank you! Very helpful.

I'm new to Autocrit, this was helpful, thank you!

Excellent. This is actually, for me anyway & the way that I think, work, create, an incredibly useful & powerful tool that I will be using for all manner of things, not only character creation & development. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience.

I've watched this review a number of times now and I'm picking up useful things every time. That means I'm either a simple creature or it means you've done a really good job packing this with useful information. I like that idea better than me being a dummy so I'm going with that. Now I'm going to look for a way to justify the text in Reedsy because I think justifying the writing is a must do.

Cliffhanger, love it!

i cannot wait to listen to your Story Time!

i am just starting with Reedsy now so this was very helpful to me, thank you.

Dark mode is too foreign for me. I couldn't understand the video in that mode, and it was hard on the eyes.

Thanks a lot for going over all of these, I haven't gotten to the cons part of the video yet but I noticed that some of the features are included in Microsoft Word. With the Microsoft 365 (I hate that I need this and it needs internet connection or you'll get the robot voices) review tab, you get a pretty nice AI text reader. It also includes some very minimal punctuation & spelling helper, dictionary and thesaurus which I have found helpful. I tend to use the review comments for keeping notes as I'm not sure if there's a better way yet. I'm wondering how AutoCrit compares to Word?

I love what you said about AI content, I've recently started writing and found that AI has been great for tossing ideas around similar to when I talk to a friend about a thought. Using it to write content makes the story read very oddly as it takes a lot of liberties with how it expresses things.

Can you import a "traceable" layer? I'm trying to update an older jpeg of a map made on the global add-on of Campaign Cartographer 3+ which I worked on for years. The CC3 software started crashing on multiple devices but my poor art skills can't recreate it on adobe so I've been searching high and low for a software that supports imports - even as a traceable layer. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for this video. Philippines, in which I live, is not among the choices of countries in Keyword Surfer. What is my workaround then?

I agree about not using the AI part of Grammarly. It takes sentences out of context and will say part of a sentence is wrong when it was a word missing earlier in the sentence. And if it can't work the problem it says add the word 'and' to the sentence. I ignore it.

Great tips. I try to avoid perfection. Although there are moments when I’m blocking the flow. And causes me to change direction then sticking to my outline. Any thoughts?

I'm currently trying to get a book published via the traditional route. And so I've been collecting my share of rejections from Literary Agents. That said, some of those Agents have been very encouraging even whilst they reject. They say something like: "Your new novel isn't quite right for me at this time; nevertheless, I strongly encourage you to apply to other Literary Agents." Quite nice, really. There are thousands of Literary Agents out there, (and some will even accept RE-submissions at a later date because their acceptance criteria may have changed at that later date).

How can I add a blank page after chapter ends?

I agree with the other comments about the music. Re-upload without the music, pretty please! It's driving me crazy. LOOOVE your voice and content, though. Very informative and thoughtful.

Can you add pictures?

This was super helpful. Thanks a ton

I enjoyed the replay! I was able to handwrite 863 words 💙💙💙💙

I heard about this program and was interested in checking it out. Seems very expensive for something, that as you say, one of the big features seems broken. You would think, it would be relatively simple to have an ignore list of words and that would fix it picking up on character names. I have a lot of subscription based services as it is, I just don't see me using this enough to justify the cost. Thanks for the information.

I ditched it after three years. It kept developing glitches. Some functions worked on Chrome, others on Safari. When it developed yet another issue and they told me it would take two weeks to fix, I told them to cancel my auto renew. It’s unstable and unreliable. I swapped to ProWritingAid Aid and have had no issues.

We just subscribed to your channel. We are writing our second book using Reedsy and I appreciate your tutorial. You have helped us out in so many ways. 🤩

Interesting and introduced me to several bits I had no idea were there. However, there also seemed to be some faint but distracting music in the background which really affected hearing you. To start with I though perhaps I had something else playing accidentally in another tab, but couldn't find anything so decided it must be in the video. Happy to be told I'm wrong and you haven't got any distracting muzac!

thank you so much i use this for pages

There’s been some ups and downs so far for me too. Best of luck to you in the second half!

Does autocrit perform a plagiarism check? To see it you’ve used a previously used story line or if you’re too close to previously published material of any kind

You are an inspiration, Michael!

Looking forward to the rest of the year. Let's make it an awesome second half.

Great video but I have a question. When writing in Atticus, how do I write dialog? Let's two people are talking. Do I hit return and indent when the other person speaks? Or, do I simply slam the end quote and the next quote together and will Atticus separate that onto another line and indent? Thanks.

any idea if the autocrit Vault courses are useful?

Thank you - this was so useful!

I'm also looking at Vellum. I know it's more expensive but I can download it and know for sure it's forever. Also, wondering from your writing experience and through your sales, is ipad really a device most people use or kindle? I want to be informed before purchasing/buying into any writer's software. You know? Thank you for your video- I'm doing research now re: writing tools/apps/software programs

Thank you again for another stream! I was able to get words done for two of my projects 💙💙💙💙

And yet you can't spell tongue.

This is so helpful! Im paying for LivingWriter now and I think its time to make the switch to Reedsy as it does all the stuff I use LivingWriter for.

Thank you, you have been helpful

hI. I've watched a few of your videos. I don't want to offend you but hope you will take this as constructively. You mumble and are at times difficult to understand. Otherwise good information
