Save me from myself. Familiarity with Canva and Photoshop Ability to put fonts together that do not look like I (3-year old

Language, What a Pain
We have a fun project we’re picking at, which involves a fantasy setting. We have to name a bunch of people and places, and we want to avoid confusion. We’d both feel we might benefit from a talk with a linguist. If you are or know a linguist who wouldn’t mind discussing imaginary pseudo-medieval names,

The Power of BDH
You know what I could use in my life right now? Some of Orro’s doughnuts. Mmm, doughnuts. No doughnuts for me, sadly. We have some routine medical procedures coming up, and Gordon is fasting today, and I’m fasting in solidarity. I will have to eat something since I’m chauffeuring him tomorrow, but for now it’s

Publishing Partners, Ebooks, DOJ Hearings, and All That Jazz
Penguin Random House and Simon and Schuster are trying to merge. The government is blocking it due to concerns of the new enormous publisher monopolizing the marketplace. We’ve received several questions about the particulars of the testimony, but the ones about this quote stand out: Is this a lie? Yes and no. Yes, a publisher

The Every Day Mysteries
It’s Monday. How did this happen? Most of the renovation is over. We have some shelves that need to be put up, and the front of the house needs stucco repaired and a new coat of paint, but mostly we are done. I’m waiting for it to sink in, so I can exit the crisis

Covers and Genre
A while ago we’ve done a Genre by Cover Quiz, where we showed you covers and had you guess the genre. I was looking on Amazon for unrelated reasons, trying to find something for Mod R, and stumbled on this. To be clear: THIS IS NOT A BOOK RECOMMENDATION. I have not read any of

Self-publishing, HEB, and Rrrrromance
Mod R left me with a list of questions. But first, a funny. I was looking at a house for sale on Redfin the other day and saw this. How can you tell that a Texan is selling their house? Hehehehe. I tell you what, I missed HEB in Florida. The first time we went

More Love, Less Sleeping With The Fishes
Dear BDH, We love you thiiiiiiis much. Please stop offering to hire mafia hitmen. Also, please do not perform rituals cursing the unnamed paint contractors. That is not good for you. We had to lock the comments. Love, Your Hosts. In the end, it’s paint. Yes, it sucks, but it’s only paint. It can be

I Wish We Hadn’t Done This
A month ago we decided to renovate the house. We needed to resurface 25 years old pool, which was leaking, we needed to replace an upstairs rail, which was not to code, and we needed to put texture and new paint on the walls. Our house started out as a builder house, constructed as the

The Secret Formula
I asked in the last book (and I will keep asking till I get an swer) House Andrews or the mod. Please please what do I need to research on to get good understanding on how to develop such complex unique worlds and beings? I have narrowed it down to Xenobiology, Evolution and anthropology. Am
