People don’t really grow up they just get better at hiding it. Dear lord, having to explain to a construction worker having a temper tantrum that the only reason he can’t login into an app is because of a user error. When he’s at least 6’5 and over eighty pounds heavier is not a good time.

Revising 100%
Page Count :527
Word Count: 76147
Now I have to read through it.
-
Rewrite is doing better.
Felt like I had to separate it.
Now for some reason I have a romance story prequeling/concurrent with the dark fantasy one.
… No I don’t know how that happened.
-
Rings of power can be summed as thus
- Galadriel is pretty much the greater evil of the story and at this point only Sauron himself is capable of knocking her down a peg. No, I’m not joking. She has glimmers of self-awareness that flicker and fade just as quickly as the story itself won’t let her be wrong.( She’s pretty much the most empowered Mary Sue in recent history)
- The Harfoots are evil to the core. Let’s leave them to die turned to lets steal their wheels so they’ll absolutely die. Forget orcs, the only reason anyone is alive is because they’re avoiding these murder monsters. Orcs are more sympathetic and they’re the minions of evil.
- Exiling evil herself absolutely was the right call as even when she’s apologizing for manipulating someone. She’s still un-apologetically doing it. “Because I cannot stop”
- Durin’s subplot is the best part of RoP. The actors are having fun with what they’re given.
- The only reason sauron’s acolytes are about is they want to steal the Harfoot’s unabashed evil for themselves and for screen time.
- The Mithril thing.

My recommendation is to stop making these bets with these horrific, torturous outcomes. Get into something safer, like skydiving.

I’ve learned my lesson @Desiderius PriceBut to be fair against a mono-green squirrel spam token generator deck even my Black/White Zombie horde life gain combo stood no chance whatsoever. So many Squirrels.
-
I shall regale you with my tale of folly. For while Anointed Procession+ Endless Ranks Of The Dead+ Soul Warden= Equals a zombie apocalypse with a lifetotal of easily 100+ I had assumed I was going to win. So I made the bet.
But oh… Oh, how naive I was. For while the combo above is good. It does not compete with Parallel Lives + Doubling Season+ Doubling Season= Eight times the tokens for every token spawned and the Coupe De Grace was Squirrel Mob the size of a death star.
I implore you to hold this wisdom. You see a squirrel on the board. Be prepared to wipe the entire board with a nuke. Or at least something that can destroy enchantments.
-
RoP should be used as a sleep aid. Episode 6 made me sleep. Apparently sacrificing the only fortified structure for miles if not days and managing not to kill anyone with it was a bad move. Who knew?
Right when it started getting actiony suddenly NyQuil mode engaged.
The good shot was evil herself watching as Mount Doom erupts.

The whole episode sucked. No dwarves, so no entertainment value. I seriously am only now watching for the dwarves
-
@DemonGoddessAbsolutely, The whole water will not make a volcano explode aside, weird time traveling they hope you’re not noticing. Hydrovolcanism while real wouldn’t work in an open chasm like that. I guess the lazy magic excuse works
The Dwarf section really is the best part. They at least are having fun. Durin got a new table for his wife and everything. Your show is a failure if the audience identifies with the villain more than the “heroes” I use that term in the loosest sense possible.

September 22 is the last day of summer.
September 23 Is the first of Fall.

So uh first time I’ve been hired then released within the first day. So either it was a fluke or the economy might not be doing well.

Seriously, that is exceedingly unprofessional to make you come in to be told you were let go. What industry is this in?
-
Ironically, hospitality.
-
Well, shit. If it’s a hotel chain, let me know, because I won’t stay with them in future. Same thing if it’s a restaurant.
-
So uh, manager got axed but she decided to deadman’s switch and nuke alot of other...enjoyers of group extracurricular activities by sending evidence to HQ directly….
And I knew none of this and walked straight into the aftermath of the hidenburg.
There’s burning bridges… And then there’s nuking the thing.
So the fallout has yet to be determined but on the other hand kinda have to respect going out on your own terms via nuclear fission.
-
So utter chaos at work the scheduler just walked off one day and we’re preparing for 24/5 in Feb. So its like one hell of a drama bomb.
-
Spent a coupled days in Williams. Its touristy place celebrating route 66 but it feels like a small town pearled in time. The gateway to the grand canyon lol.
-
Still revising, its a good thing I’m going through chapter by chapter and have an outline cause I can tell there’s this weird tone shift I have to solve.
Anyone else ever look at your own writing go be confused of a weird tone shift?

Usually an unwanted tone shift is caused by putting the project down and coming back to it months/years later.
-
Or it was that damned midnight snack of peanut butter and bananas on toast…
-
…
I legit had that last night.
-
The goodnews 90% done with the revamp. Tying the loose threads into a serviceable plot. Trying so hard everything will be ready soon!
The Badnews, Having to deal with the fact my 90 year old grandma is a hoarder.

I can laugh at it now.
The bruises are gone but I don’t think I’m going to step into that house for a long time nomatter how much I love my grandparent.
-
Oh, good, you survived. Did you need search & rescue to pull you out?
-
Well between getting conked in the head by 1970’s ads in boxes , three outdated encyclopedias and essentially covered in every single issue of 1981’s readers digest surprisingly not.

And trust me, I’d mangle your native language far worse, Neko-baby!
-
Word order seems to vary substantially among languages. According to linguist John McWhorter, there are even a few languages in which the order of words is meaningless; they have other mechanisms for identifying subject vs object, etc.
-
If I remember correctly, Japanese is one of those languages where the word order isn’t fixed. It’s not meaningless, but the word order isn’t nearly as fixed as it is in English
