u/Cataplasto

Literal, hasta diría que es la parte mas disfrutable, escribir, tomar notas, fantasear, escribir y dejar macerar, volver a agarrar el texto y corregir, volverlo a dejar, y una vez que ya cierre la historia salir con el libro en la mano, leer interminables opciones de como publicarlo, volverte contador con los porcentajes que vas dejando a los intermediarios, al gobierno, autoría, registrarlo, que pasa si alguien lo vende ilegalmente online (me paso), salir a promocionarte en las redes ad nauseam, repetir la misma linea hasta que ya no tenga sentido para lograr alcance, X, instagram, twitch, tumbrl, reditt; que la gente diga que es una porquería hecha con IA sin leerlo, que la portada les guste a algunos, a otros no, que recién después de 6 meses empezás a recibir algo de ganancias ( me compre 3 tarros de café ajaja, para eso me alcanzo nomas), saber que de esto no te salvas salvo que vendas tu alma al utilitarismo de turno, saber que escritoras como Banana Yoshimoto te la podes encontrar en la verduleria buscando ofertas porque no le alcanza para otro peine de oro como a Stephen King, y sin embargo seguir escribiendo porque uno se realiza y lo disfruta.

Del centro preferentemente, tengo la fantasía de ir con un libro y fingir que soy un visitante de la Argentina

This is the companion workbook for "Still Running on Empty", but it does something completely different, so even if you've never heard of Still Running on Empty, this one stands completely on its own.

What this is:

"I Was Always Here" is an identity workbook. Not a planner. Not a productivity tool. Not a how-to-function guide.

Six parts:

— Self-archaeology: the masking inventory. What you hid, why, when it started.

— Grief: because late identification comes with real losses that deserve to be named. The diagnosis that came too late. The misdiagnoses. The version of yourself you might have been.

— Stimming as identity: reclaiming what you suppressed and why suppression had a price.

— Unmasking in relationships: who gets which version of you, and what to do when relationships don't survive the real one.

— When your world had no words: specifically for people from communities where neurodivergence had no vocabulary — communities of color, working-class families, religious communities, immigrant families, anywhere difference was framed as a character failure instead of a neurological difference.

— Life architecture: designing a life that fits your actual brain, not a neurotypical template.

Every claim is labeled by evidence type so you know what's solid research, what's emerging, and what's my interpretation. You deserve to know the difference.

Who it's for:

Autistic adults, ADHDers, AuDHD folks, late-diagnosed people, formal diagnosis or self-identified, both count.

People somewhere in the process of figuring out who they are post-identification.

People who have never read Still Running on Empty and that's completely fine.

Who it's not for:

People in acute crisis, there are crisis resources on page 2, please use those first.

People looking for day-to-day management tools — that's Still Running on Empty, linked below.

Anyone expecting it to replace therapy. Part II (grief) is genuinely heavy. If you have a therapist, do that section with them.

Kids.

What it won't do:

It won't diagnose you.

It won't fix executive function or help you remember your appointments.

It won't replace professional care.

It won't be the right thing at the wrong moment — if you're in crisis, close it and come back later.

Honest limitations:

Made with AI assistance under human supervision and editorial review , transparent about this inside the workbook.

Draws on peer-reviewed research cited throughout, but the framing is my interpretation, not clinical prescription.

Some exercises are stronger than others. Use what helps. Set aside what doesn't.

Free. No email. No strings.

Muy Interesante, no encontré un ensayo que tocara el tema de la maternidad de esta manera, esta gratuito en el sitio del autor

Hey everyone,

A while back I released a free workbook called Still Running on Empty on neurodivergent burnout. It got over 1,300 downloads, which honestly surprised me — I wrote it because I couldn't find anything that matched my own experience.

I've been working on an expanded edition with new modules covering:

• Late diagnosis and identity reconstruction
• Shame processing
• Alexithymia adaptations
• Hormonal transitions (perimenopause, postpartum)
• Relational dynamics in ND couples
• A clinician's guide

Before anything else: I've put together a free preview PDF so you can see if the approach is useful for you. It includes:

• The full introduction and reader guide
• Four composite character profiles (Valentina, James, River, Eleanor) — fictional but built from clinical patterns in the research
• One sample exercise from the ACT module

You can grab it here (no sign-up, no email, just the PDF): https://zenodo.org/records/20739368

The original version is still free on Zenodo. The expanded edition is what I'm commercializing — I put a lot of work into it, and sustaining this kind of project requires that.

If the preview resonates with you, the full edition info is inside the PDF. If it doesn't, no worries, the original workbook is still there for free.

Would genuinely love to hear what you think, thanks again <3.

I think it could be a great opportunity to showcase works that we otherwise wouldn't know about because they're so indie, please feel free to share <3

I tought it could be a great opportunitie

The SunGrass Chronicles was an alchemy exercize trying to recreate the feeling I had when reading "The EartSea Saga" of Ursula K Leguin when I was much younger, i remember at that time I lived in the same house with an uncle who was problematic and didn't get along , so I grabbed "A Mage of EarthSea" and stroll to a forestation close to my house and spent almost all day daydreaming about the inmanent woods, imagine what it was like for a misfit or someone who it's bullied relentlesly by life to be able to get lost in those stories, a forest that appears an in where you can live in, not just have amazing discoveries, but to just rest and live and have a cabin and stay for how long you want, I will always love Ursula for enable a refuge for me, for a was kinda a refugee of my own reality, Argentina was a violent place even then for me, it was and still is a gorgeous country, but maybe if you access certain opportunities given only by the right of the craddle you are born, not so much if you look like the natives of the land, are queer, and neurospicy.

Almost all chapters are build around one idea, they should work as a vehicle to regulate the nervous system of whom it's reading it, the stories unfold like a cozy slice of life, it's by design, and it responds to the reflected idea of an inmanent wood, a place that it's safe, beautiful, green, peacefull, family oriented, reflective, and it's based in my childhood in the 80's when life felt safer, I had all my family and those festivals actually existed, that's how i remembered "The carnivals", the matress outside the house in the garden happened in my grandma's house when staying for the summer vacations with my cousings, and some were situations that I experienced in nature first hand romanticized by my hiperfantasy.

I adore that in my head it's a real place, and I didn't knew that I was going to keep writting about it, but i did, and I have the second book ready, and i'm thinking in a third and fourth, not in the same line as the first one whom served a propose, and the second one makes the world wider, more personal, and maybe it beggins to articulate questions and actors that shows the other side of SunGrass.

It's all for free, if you didn't read the first one you are welcome to download it and keep it , the second one "The SunGrass Chronicles II: The city that never sleeps" it's on the way, and if you don't like any of my books for whatever reason, go read Ursula's Saga, she's the OG,

There's a question millions of women have asked themselves at 3am or in a therapist's office that society has built elaborate mechanisms to prevent from being asked out loud: is the structural cost worth it?

Not whether the child is worth it. Not whether love is worth it. Whether the system delivers what it promises.

I wrote a 13-chapter essay trying to answer that as honestly as possible, with peer-reviewed data. Some of what it documents:

• The maternal wage penalty reaches 28% a decade after the first child. The father's income barely changes (Kleven et al., 2019).
• Pregnancy produces permanent, measurable changes in brain structure — information almost never given before the decision is made (Hoekzema et al., Nature Neuroscience, 2017).
• Between 7% and 13% of parents report retrospective regret — the same order of magnitude as conditions we treat as public health problems.
• South Korea's fertility rate: 0.72. The essay argues this isn't a crisis. It's a rational response.

It's permanently free. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20534814

I dunno if discussion it's the right tag but certanly it's the closer word to topic wich this is it, I think that building infraestructure, having alternative ways of living more accordingly to not harmming the planet it's the skeleton of the Solarpunk movement, but the main core of Solarpunk it's how we live it, or at least to me; community should be placed at the center of it all, we should bring back inviting the family to have large dinners with not just the closest ones but with the most you can gather, make the effort to strenght those bonds that capitalism severed in name of comfort but that we forgot that are important to an alternative way of life to this dystopic eyes wide shut wet dream for billonaires that we have

I made a free burnout recovery workbook for neurodivergent adults — sharing it in case it helps anyone"

I'm not a clinician. I'm someone who went through neurodivergent burnout and read everything I could find while I was in it.

I ended up writing a workbook — based on published research (Raymaker et al., Ali et al., Van der Putten et al.) but written from lived experience. It covers assessment, stabilisation, and recovery, with specific sections for ADHD, autism, and AuDHD.

It's free. No strings. If one page is useful to one person, that's enough.

I know I sound crazy, but i also wrotte a workbook about neurodivergent burnout and recovery based on my experiences and a danish enterprise it's about to use it to form their professionals ( Latam branch ) and to help people after I make some corrections to the original.

I dunno if both ideas can be extrapolated, but i really love the tone of my book and i can totally see it as an adaptation on netflix or an anime on crunchyroll, if you think i'm delutional please let me know too, maybe i'm high on the aproval of the workbook

I say this because some of the people in here doesn't quite get It, the comunal housing, the gardens, the work structure, the leizure, the buildings, the relationship with nature comes from an agreement to live under a form of ideology that it's political and not closed to change, there can be a community in Germany that favours the permaculture, there can be one in Peru that utilze different materials for their houses, and ALL OF THEM would be Solarpunk to give an example.

Theres can not exist an holy church of Solarpunk that dictates vertically it's values

I spent an entire afternoon crafting a campaing review on Booksprout for in the last step to ask me for money to continue..... b. i can barely live and pay some taxes, i have non to give to you X(.

Where can i get free readers for my book, does anyone know ?

I want to be straight about the numbers: $340 is not financial freedom. But it's real money from a product I built once and that keeps selling without me doing anything.

Here's exactly what I did:

What I sold Two PDF documents. One is a collection of AI prompts for freelancers. One is a legal protection kit — contracts, email scripts, negotiation lines. Combined price: $34 for the bundle.

How I built them I'm a freelancer. The content was stuff I'd already built for my own use. I organized it, wrote it up properly, and exported it as a PDF. One weekend of actual work.

Where I sell Gumroad. Free account, they take a percentage per sale. No monthly cost. Setup took a few hours.

How I got traffic Only Reddit. No paid ads. I posted value-first content in freelancing and AI subreddits — not promotions, actual useful posts. The link to my products sits in my profile bio. People click it after reading the post.

What actually worked The posts that drove sales weren't about my products. They were about the specific problem my products solve. One post about contract clauses. One about ChatGPT prompts. One about red flags before taking new clients. Each post ends with "I have a full resource on this — link in my profile."

Month 1 breakdown

• 14 sales of individual products
• 3 bundle sales
• Average order: ~$21
• Total: $340
• Time spent after launch: maybe 3 hours responding to Reddit comments

What I'd do differently Start with the bundle pricing from day one. I added it in week 3 and it immediately raised my average order.

The model isn't complicated. You package knowledge you already have, put it somewhere people can buy it, and drive traffic through content that proves the knowledge is real.

What do you know that other people would pay to learn faster?
