      We might need to go back to the beginning, and try this again sometime, when we’ve learned a few lessons about governance. :lol:

      People celebrate labour day? I always thought it was just a day that happened before school starts. Like a harbinger.

      Well, it’s a day off from work, what more reason does one need to “celebrate” ?  :p

  8. Happy New Year.  May 2022 fare better than 2021.

  9. Happy PI day everybody!

  10. Happy Star Wars day everybody, may the fourth be with you.

      Happy Thanksgiving to all that are celebrating today! (I’m having a delayed celebration on Sunday so my family can be here, but it’ll be the traditional massive turkey and all the trimmings!)  🍗🥧🍷🍂

      Blessings of the Solstice to all, and let the fire burn through this night to welcome the return of the light at dawn.

  14. Hate it when I find a good article, useful for my writing, locked behind a paywall.  It’s like… I’m not making money on my writing here.

      While I appreciate the vote of confidence, I’m not that great of a writer to get into the formalities of being published.

  15. Have to admit, June was bad for writing….maybe 5k total?

  16. Hit 50k for the month today, so sliding the goal posts… try for 75k instead?

  17. Hmm… maybe I should, like, draw a map to this haunted house before I write about it?

  18. Hmm…. what should I do when there’s a tropical storm with my name on it?

      Go for the trifecta: Watch the Weather Channel while drinking a bottle of Coke with your name on it.

      Harness its power somehow? Take over the world? Seems like a good time for a little sorcery. 

  19. Hmmm… I can move this scene from #8 back to #7….. Keeping it in #8 makes for a better cliffhanger, but moving it to #7 makes #7 a tad more complete.  Oh, the debate I’m having with myself.

      @Wilde_Guess  Yep, that’s why I’m debating now, before I post.  I’ll need to resolve this before I post either 7 or 8.  Yesterday, I had moved it to #7, however, based on tone it belongs in #8.  So, this morning, I moved it back.  After all, a cliffhanger is typically an incomplete scene.

    3. Wilde_Guess

      Wilde_Guess

      True, that.  Also, the move can “require” another 4k of writing to more fully develop an idea.  That’s not a bad thing, but can confuse the reader if you do it after the chapter(s) were originally posted.

    4. Desiderius Price

      That was the #5 debacle, about 2.5k but same thing.  I try to adhere to the principle that a reader shouldn’t have to re-read an episode to understand things, though, of course, that can be unavoidable at times with a work-in-progress.  Thus, I basically want  to be confident in the episode/chapter before I post. 

      Cross my fingers, I’ll get #8 drafted tonight.  (If so, I’d expect #7 to go up next weekend.)

       

  20. Horror headline that’ll get you below the belt … “Flesh Eating STD”

      “9/10 dentists recommend our toothpaste for Vagina Dentata. The last one is just rolling around screaming about his penis.”

      Scary part is, I *did* read that as a headline yesterday, it mentioned the UK and things potentially rotting off.

  21. How thoughtful that spammers are self-reporting themselves in the “Trolls/Flamers/Spammers” section of the forums… sigh.  Can we hang/draw/quarter them?

      We’re bringing back Wicker Man Wednesdays. :fthrower:

      Good.  I could be persuaded to stop off for some hotdogs and marshmallows!  :)
