  1. I’m totally cracking up over it. Given recent events, laughter is good It totally jibes with the story too without violating the hard rules to the universe I’m creating. Not sure when I’ll post because I don’t know all of the episodes in between yet.
  2. @CloverReef I found an even better way to get it into the story…. not telling the details, it’ll be funny
  3. @CloverReef I’m still trying to avoid SFW Yeah, if I had aliens in the universe, it’d totally be in there. Maybe even aliens with tentacles feeling up during the anal probes. Hmmm… maybe I could…. a hallucination with aliens? Think I might have a halloween story or similar
  4. Yes, just finished writing episode nine.  I’ll give it the usual cool down, so unless something else happens, most likely post it next weekend.

      It’s definitely a different format and burnout is a killer fr. On the other hand, I kind of enjoy having a weekly turnover. It’s neat, like running a TV show.

      I did an experiment with the Repair Guy, cutting the chapter lengths down and not fussing so much over perfect prose, as a result, I was pushing out updates every day or two.  I deliberately wanted to keep that fast to write because it was a backstory that, while needed, I didn’t want to dwell on.

      YES, trying to strike that balance between expediency and quality, because in my other novel-length stuff, I tend to agonize over drafts for YEARS. I used to do 10k+ chapters, but I’ve cut it down to the 5k – 7k range.

  5. My family wasn’t well off when I was growing up, so I remember when a “grocery”/care-package showed up, it chipped at my parent’s sense of pride. Jarred’s a sensitive character, so yeah, he’s definitely trying to make his friend feel better. BTW, read Dale’s Game
  6. I think Minor1 was the first one to fall for me, and I had tried so hard in the beginning to avoid it. I did come to realize that in the end, it’d have to come in anyways due to the nature of the universe that I’m creating and the realism I’m trying to embed within in. Kids will experiment with it, its not like they will avoid all sexual thoughts until they turn 18 or even 14, especially as it’s in our media all over the place. I had shifted the line to puberty, but even the current story I’m working (Jefferey) has challenged me there, and the line’s shifting, again, due to the setting (which, I had first avoided with a four-year time jump that I balked at when I started working the revision). I even know the scene that started to chip at the minor1/minor2 distinction in Alaska Trekkers, and I was trapped, because I needed the main characters at specific ages (as they couldn’t be too old), which meant the younger sister couldn’t really get older (biology). WS isn’t a squeamish one for me, so there’s really’s never been a line on that for me. I’ll try to make sure I don’t overdo it within a story, but I like how it can basically show a gain of confidence and trust in a relationship, to lose the inhibition and that sort. Nec was one that I had avoided too, though I finally decided to embrace it as a challenge for my last Halloween fic, in the process, MBP decided to tag along. Hard scat is definitely one I still try to avoid, it still squeaks me out. I will list it, though, as there are situations where I’ll describe my characters taking a dump and it can become a bit pervasive at times (all the reasons, whether its illness at a rather inconvenient time, or somebody’s scared, or to just plain embarrass my character – though I do have one who’ll do it as pranks). So for my stories, the [scat] tag is typically CYA. (However, that last halloween story challenged me a bit there, brought it closer to true scat.) Xeno is about the only one that can’t enter, simply due to the construct of the universe I’m writing. (ie, there are no plans for aliens) So, of the list, the one I seem to most actively avoid is …. SFW And, thanks for that vote of confidence @CloverReef.
  7. About a month ago, I had started playing a particular game, I had gotten really engrossed into it, some games are like that.  Did it distract me enough to not realize my cat needed help sooner?  I hope not, but I can’t divorce the thought.  I certainly can’t bring myself to play the game anytime soon, maybe never.   The upshot, though, is I am writing on Jefferey again, so maybe that’ll soothe me?

      @Avaloyuru  Don’t forget to hug your dogs. 

      In this case, the vet did mention that his teeth needed to be cleaned, so I knew that needed attention.  I even managed to get that scheduled for this Tuesday...but then I obviously had to cancel.

      Yep!  Hug them all the time!  They are all I have.  My dogs sleep with me at night and when I take naps.  They have medical conditions and the meds are costly, thankfully there are human meds that work just as good and cost half the price.

      I love it when it’s a human med.  My vet, actually with this one, at one point recommended that, go to the local store, get it OTC, and cut the pill in half.  But really, the only difference is probably quality and more stringent testing for the human stuff.

  8. Today really, really sucks.  Lost a cat today :(

      Sorry to hear. :cry:.  I know the feeling all too well.  :hug:.

      I’m going to try to focus a bit on writing, see if that helps at all.  I did visit a friend last night on the way home, simply because I knew I couldn’t hold it together.  That did help.  But then, get home, and, well, cat’s no longer here.  I generally don’t cry, rarely get emotional, but this time … it’s a very raw, very real wound

      btw, the next Jefferey episode might start off a bit dark….
