Okay, so how the hell do I find people to chat with on here? I have literally ZERO engagement on here. What am I doing wrong? I just want book friends, or journaling friends.. coffee friends? Friends who also love animals and the paranormal??

@whiskeytangerineblogz

↑ this is my other account, I'm not having any luck here either.

[chroniclesofabooknerd]

I'm looking to make new bookish friends. People who genuinely enjoy book related content, chatting about books. Or chatting about favorite coffees, animals, journaling, favorite music and animals. Favorite time of the year? If this is hear please, let's be friends :). ( Note, I'm EXTREMELY introverted and it's hard for me to hold conversations at times but I would really love to be friends.

[chroniclesofabooknerd]

Really long post below:

07.20.24→ original entry date.

LONG RANT BELOW: I've been asked by a few people that are actually genuine if I felt comfortable going into detail about what I have been dealing with lately. Note, this isn't something that just started happening within the last few weeks. NO. THIS.. has been going on off and on for the last several months. But, whichever smarty pants mcgee has been doing it, finally got caught in the midst of doing it and I was prompted to change security settings. It was literally a battle of typing speed. I came really..really close to losing everything. I know there's alot of yall that's out there that don't see the enjoyment in blogging or reading. There's those that don't find enjoyment in researching and journaling and that's fine, you can just skip ahead to the next post if this doesn't interest you. OR, you can read it and you may find something within my very long post that you agree with. I did forget to include that whoever it was also made a hacking attempt on not just my FB Blog but my personal profile on there too. Thankfully, nothing got affected because I have all that set up differently for security. I will be cross-posting this.

So this will be shared on :

Original Entry. 07.16.24 ( originally posted on IG because I was wanting to get blogging done for my bookstas and people just got all wackadoodle on me!!)

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Go0d mernin all you day-walkers and hopefully all my fellow night-walkers are doing okay :) && Howdy chickadees and chickaroos.

[^^^Part of my post from earlier this morning]

Soo...I don't really use all that many sayings when I post or at least none that are repetitive and catchy in my opinion. So, please, for the love of all things coffee fueled and paranormal,tell me why am I getting hate mail because I started using "chickadees & chickaroos” and it's apparently rude and inconsiderate to call people day-walkers or night-walkers. It's not like I'm referencing a vampire movie or zombie movie here. ( But if I was, in regards to a vampire movie it would be Blade. If it was in regards to Zombies, it's not a movie but The Walking Dead calls Zombies, Walkers.) BUT...It was supposed to be something funny damn,y'all really need to get a life!

The beginning part of this I literally just posted after work this morning with a damn cup of coffee. I was gonna spend the morning blogging... I was wanting to get caught up on some things, but for some reason all the stupid fecking algorithm wants to do is send people who have pizz in their Wheaties & sH!T in their cornflakes to harass me. I'm beyond sick of this. Does anyone else have issues when they try to use catchy phrases? Why the hell do I always attract some of the most mush brained, cornbread soggy in the middle, watermelon ain't ripe, momma done dropped them on the head twice and daddy done kicked them across a football field azz people!!!!!????

I literally just started using these phrases. As in within the last 3-4 days.. maybe almost a week. Anyways, I hope you spill your coffee on white pants, I hope you step on a Lego, I hope you bang your little toe on every piece of furniture that exists in your house and bang your elbow. Oh and most importantly, I hope when you go to leave your house or job, the door handle snags on your shirt or pants and then the seat belt catches and refuses to release!!!

Have the day you deserve.

_______________________

Howdy chickadees and chickaroos. As you see in this earlier post I've been dealing with a lot. Below I'm going to be adding more to what I've been dealing with to give insight on just what type of scum I've been dealing with.

Originally posted on threads:

Howdy my chickadees & chickaroos! Today I'm sharing the latest bull$hyte that I've been dealing with as a blogger & journalist. So, I've been desperately trying to engage and try to accomplish certain personal goals for myself as far as my writing and blogging. I don't do this to be famous on threads or IG. I do it because I enjoy it. However, within the last few months I must have really pizzed in somebodies Wheaties because I've dealt with the following : (1/idk how many this will be)

2. I've dealt with bullying and harassment. Backlash for voicing my own damn opinion and sharing MY. OWN. RESEARCH AND JOURNAL ENTRIES. Authors attempting to come after me because they didn't agree with the rating I gave them. I'm sorry but I'm not giving your very poorly edited dumpster fire a 5 star rating when it's barely a 1.

2(cont.) Now I get it, indie authors have it rough. I know writing and publishing is hard. I'm a writer myself so I get it. However, it doesn't excuse the ones that send the work out into the world like "oh not my problem anymore" && they never did any editing or spell check the entire time. & This isn't bashing indie authors or traditionally published authors. This is just me venting. Please don't get your panties in a wad.

3. Hackers. Yes you read that right. Hackers. I really don't know why someone gets enjoyment out of attempting to ruin someone's work. But I've had people hack my email. They have tried to hack my websites where I blog and most recently they've attempted to hack IG. I really don't understand why. If youre that pizzed off at me just UNFOLLOW ME OR BLOCK ME! It would literally take what a minute or 2 of your time?

3(cont.) Also, please stop it whoever you are. My main blog means the world to me because I created it not long after I lost my best friend. (My solid white husky passed unexpected & reading to him was my favorite thing so I started blogging about books and it was my way to still connect in a way.. doesn't have to make sense to y'all but it does to me)

4. Well anyhow, that's a chunk of what I've been dealing with. I just don't understand what makes people feel they have the right to screw with others like that. Especially someone like me. I literally do nothing but keep to myself, work constantly and attempt to make a name for myself with my blogging and writing.

Side note: I attempted to make a new IG and turn it into a creator page but that didn't work out so, if you were following an account with the name (witchblogcavern) that was me but things happened and I could not keep that account.

Now, I want to continue with my very long disgruntled rant to say. That these hackers. These, low down, no good ©ûM guzzlers have still been attempting to hack just about everything that I own when it comes to blogging and journaling. A few days ago, someone tried to put the final nail in the coffin in regards to me blogging. They went after my main blogging site. The one that is mentioned up above that I have had for years. This led to me getting the “white page of death or white screen of death” I ALMOST LOST 6 YEARS worth of content. 6. FUGGIN. YEARS. They somehow managed to hack an email that I've been using for quite some time that I had linked to the main blog. It took hours… and I mean HOURS to fully recover my blog. I really don't know what is wrong with people. I don't understand what I ever did to anyone except to give my honest and unbiased viewpoint on whatever it is that I am working on. Ive been nice about it, I've tried going through and blocking potential culprits. But I cannot stress this enough.. If I am actually able to figure out which person or persons it is that is tampering with all of my work. I'm going to press charges. I have been communicating with the support team for my blog and they have escalated it to the IT department. It’s theft and impersonation. I don't know how far that will get me but I am beyond sick of this. I've worked way, way too damn hard trying to make a name for myself with my blogging just for some stupid azz m.o.f.o to try and ruin it and claim it for themselves… I don't care if it's a fellow blogger, or writer or author that is doing this. You sir, ma’am or whatever entity you desire to be, are a downright PIECE OF SHIT. And, I hope that one day, Karma screws you hard, no lube with a soldering iron.

Those of you that have been following me for a while..years maybe, you know that generally if I decide to vent or rant it's not this angry. But I am so sick of the bullying and harassment that I'm receiving when I know for a flipping fact, I haven't done anything at all. It's not like I'm on here posting hateful content or attacking someone for their personal beliefs. I don't post anything that goes against any type of political views or things that are considered controversial. I keep to myself, in my own little blogging world. But somehow, somewhere, these vile idiotic people (or it might just be one person who just absolutely hates me to the core and hates the poop that comes out my rear) have gone out their way to try and make my life a living hell. I DON'T NEED HELP WITH THAT!! Its way past that point! So from here on out, if I don't seem as nice as I used to be, my replies are short or I seem distant,this is why. I'm tired of people using what I've worked so hard on, for their personal gain. And, if after reading all this you decide that you no longer want to follow me, be friends or even see my content anymore, that's fine. It's totally up to you if you make that decision, either way, I hope you have a good weekend. Take care and as always, stay safe out there y'all.

Originally wrote this about 2-3 months ago.

I've always known that I'm a loner. An outsider, the black sheep, the nerd, that fat and tall girl. The glasses wearing book weirdo. I've known this for years. But, within the last several months it's become overwhelmingly obvious just how many people were never there for me even as an acquaintance. I don't have friends that I talk to on a daily basis. You know what I have? I have 2 people and my dog. One of these people live miles away and she has been one of my biggest cheerleaders throughout everything I've gone through. The other person is my husband, and without him I literally would not be here. And well, my dog, my sweet pupper. I would never be able to get through most days without her. I'm not sharing this for attention I don't care if I get likes on this or not. Hell, y'all can unfollow me if you feel like you need to. But I'm so sick of condescending people. And if you read this and it makes you feel some type of way, just unfollow me, I'm tired of attempting to have people in my life that never wanted to be there in the first place.

[chroniclesofabooknerd]

Hey y'all, it's been a long time since I've shared anything on here. I honestly forgot I had Tumblr. I was curious to know, are they still any fellow book lovers, writers, authors, journalist on here? Really looking to find the right community so I can make new friends.

So if you're out there and are a reader, writer, blogger, journalist or author and wanna be friends let me know! Id definitely love to chat :) thanks for reading

[chroniclesofabooknerd]

Some books that i read last year and one from this year (Murder Sunrise is from this year) You can find reviews for them on my main blog >> rusticbooktravels.home.blog

Journal entry 02.08.2024

Okay y'all. So this post is gonna be extremely personal. Um and I don't even know where to start. August of last year I ended up in ICU. The living conditions that my husband and I were dealing with literally almost killed me and if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here. He had to do CPR on me to bring me back. Then family who claimed they were gonna help us get stuff situated and help us get back on our feet lied. We've been stuck 6 hours away from home since last September. My mental health has declined. I was already dealing with anxiety,stress, panic attacks and so much more but being back in the hell hole has made it deteriorate significantly. We've become nothing but guinea pigs for their benefit it seems. Living under the same roof of someone who abuses alcohol and medication and walks around with a Napoleon complex and verbally abusive. 

Most of y'all are going to read this and think of you're just looking for a hand out it can't be that bad. Let me ask you something. Have you ever woken up in a hospital not understanding or knowing why or what happened. Only to be swept away from your home and taken 6 hours away under the ruse of “family is going to help” have you ever literally - d.i.3.d and have to be brought back to life and have to fight for your life in ICU on a ventilator. If not then I don't want to hear your fucking mouth. But you're gonna say “why didn't you ask for help”. I did. Countless times. The same family that is supposed to be helping knew about what we were dealing with the entire time. Different churches and good ol Christian folk knew. NOBODY GAVE A FLYING FUCK. And now we're stuck. And still half the time they ignore the issues they are compiling onto us. Not to mention we haven't even been allowed to go back to check on our house and no one gives a fuck that our house has been broken into since we've been stuck up here. I'm pissed off and I'm livid. We don't deserve this. All we have done is try to do right by people and we constantly get shit on.  Now I will say there were a few people that I was able to connect with that helped us with food and water. And for those I'm truly grateful. But anyhow, that's my post. That's definitely not everything but it's maybe a quarter of a footstep of what being in our shoes and on our path is like. 

As always, stay safe.

January 16.2024

So, I've started on an extremely new project for the last few days now. And, while I'm not anywhere close to being done. I've come to a spot where I'm comfortable enough to drip feed my research and what will be coming within the next several days possibly within month or two it will be completely finished.

Have a read if you like!

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Is a SOW legally binding?



Benefits of using a statement of work

They are legally binding and pre-approved by the client, meaning the project is fully supported by all parties. They provide transparency into methods and processes for the project stakeholders. They reduce any confusion that may arise during a project.

__________________________________________________________

I've been doing some research on this to have a better understanding of the services that I want to provide to the Authors/Clients. I don't want any confusion on either end so I'm trying to be as transparent as possible. 

I myself love to read and blog about all things pertaining to books. Whether it be new releases, reviews in general, some publicity like cover reveals or excerpts. However, I don't want to get caught up with some type of legal situation because there was some type of misleading information along the way. 

_____________________________________________________________________________

I’ve consulted websites: Rocket Lawyer and Legal Zoom to make sure that I was following the right path. I have also taken out the time to research the do’s and the don’ts of being a Freelancer. I WILL NOT HARASS YOU. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE/ DENY SERVICE & SO DO YOU. 

_______________________________________________________________

So, having that said, I am in the process of creating a SOW for the services that I want to provide to Authors that would be interested. I'm very new at running my own thing and I want to share this food for thought.

It will be ME and only ME running everything (freelance) 

I can not accept things at the last minute -I'm giving each project the time length of a month. - Some may be finished before a month some may take longer than a month to do (that will be discussed in the SOW contract) 

I can't promise that my work will be the most impressive there is out there but I can promise that : I will give my undivided attention to your book. I will do my best to converse with you, the author, to let you know if I'm unable to finish the book or if I don't think the book would be a good fit for my blog. 

_________________________________________________________________________

Now, I'm going to talk a little bit about what I will and will not share on my blog. And, I will inform you that I do operate several different blogs that are in different stages right now. My main blog is: rusticbooktravels.home.blog  and on there you can click on my Review Policy so you can see what I read and what I don't read. At one point I was trying just about every genre to see how it went, so that is why my list is so long. PLEASE read through that before sending me any type of inquiry for services. Upfront however I will say and this is as respectful as Im going to be about it.   DO NOT ON ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REQUEST THAT I READ BDSM, SMUT, or ROMANCE ( I only accept Romantic Suspense) DO NOT ON ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BULLY OR HARASS me into working on your book. I WILL NOT REPLY. IF at any point you become overbearing I will end services. 

__________________________________________________________________________

I don't want to sound mean and hateful. I don't want to give off any sort of bad vibes or bad juju. I just want to be straightforward with everything. And, as I said, this is all new to me. And, well, we all have to start somewhere don't we? If you're willing to join me on this journey I'd be more than happy to work with you. Even if you're just rooting for me from the sidelines. Any and all support is very much appreciated. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. I'm sure there will be more updates to come!

Also, I don't know how many followers I have on here. I don't know if there are any authors on here or not but I would love to hear from like minded people.

If you want. You can hop over to > rusticbooktravels.home.blog

That's my main blog and you'll be able to click on the page titled - Literary Adventures to find out more. And again, please note this is a brand new project for me so I'm just now getting everything situated

JAMANJI -2024.

I really hope this year doesn't kill me. Last year almost did. No, quite literally. My husband had to do CPR to bring me back.

Anyhow.. here's to more books and journal entries y'all.

#journalism #bookreviews.

[chroniclesofabooknerd]

Happy 2024 y'all. :)

First Reviews of the year

The Kings of Hell (Cole) Book One by Alexis Maree

  3 out of 5 🌟

It was an okay read. I'm not really big on reading about sex (unless it's Romantic Thrillers or Romantic Suspense). The characters were loveable but I found myself drifting off everytime there was a sex scene. 



Infestation Book One- A SmallTown Nightmare by Tanya R. Taylor 

4 out of 5 🌟

Short and kinda fast paced. Follow Marie and Dave as they overcome the evil that is lurking around them. There's just enough suspense to make you want to read more. 



(not sure if the pictures are going to load or not. But they're both ebooks)

[ edit to add: you can go to my link -> http://thescarletsapphire.blogspot.com/2024/01/happy-2024.html

Here's a journal entry that I've done. You can check it out below

[chroniclesofabooknerd]

I'm not exactly keen on nonfiction unless it's something like True Crime or some type of biography or what have you. But this book did keep me interested for the most part.

An amazing AMAZING series so far. I've read books 1&2 and am in the process of getting book 3!

[chroniclesofabooknerd]

One of the most shocking twists I've read in a long time.
