You should never, and I sincerely repeat never write without first writing an outline of your story—ever! My story, and my protagonists, have had a new band member foisted on them by the plot-bunnies! You’ll see him around Chapter 38 or so. 😉

I’m not sure what the “pantser way” is. As for Andres Augustin Floyd, he fell “out of the ether” as a teenaged rebel looking for a cause and career change between a Bananarama song and a Celso Machado instrumental piece. Outlines are your friend.

Have you ever been hit with “chapter mitosis?” Well, I’ve been hit with it again. Chapter 36 is ‘skinny’ again, but should be fattened up enough to post before the end of the week. Chapter 37 is bigger, but has a ways to go before it’s ready. Oh, well… Just another ‘first world problem.’

In my case, as will become ‘visible’ once Chapters 36 and 37 get posted, it’s a matter of things not ‘shrinking,’ combined with a self-imposed goal of keeping individual chapters under 20,000 words.
In Chapter 36 now, the ‘kids’ are waking up the morning after their wedding reception concert and ‘talking out issues.’ Chapter 37 is where other family members come over to their house, with only some of those family members being expected or invited, to ‘talk out’ more family issues. And this extended family does have its issues.

So if its not one thing it is another. I now need to go get my left bottom wisdom tooth pulled. ugh! not looking forward to seeing an oral surgeon! at least my boss is gonna help me out with being off for a couple of days
-
Sorry to read about your difficulties, and good luck getting things seen-too. I had all four of mine removed in my early twenties, at my then employer’s insistence and expense. No cloves were harmed in the removal of my wisdom teeth. But I did get a small bottle of “enhanced” Tylenol to take for the pain afterwards, after driving back across town to where I was living then. They had it done on a Thursday afternoon, IIRC, so I only had to miss one day of work.

The happiest of birthdays to the amazing @Melrick!
I’m still trying to find a way to ship you some of that Key Lime pie…

Is it a sign that I’m getting old, or that the parental units are getting old, when the pair of them go down on their hands and knees to peer under the kitchen cabinets, and my first thought is, “Are they both going to be able to get up ok?”….?
-
@Desiderius Price, finding out that both of your still-living parents have an Onlyfans page with more than two subscribers is cool. Accidentally stumbling across those videos is where the power-barfing comes in to play. 😉

It’s a sign of both, actually. You look at them and think, “I couldn’t get up from that crap, will I be able to help them get up?” It’s also a sign that all of you are still on the same side of the sod, which is really a nice thing to have.

Is it bad when I’ve kinda stopped keeping track of my story’s body count?
-
was so excited for ‘history of the world part 2’ and then i saw it and i want my hour back watching it! no amount of celebs made it work!
Edit: so there are 4 more episodes out of the apparently 8 episodes of this and i still might watch the rest. hope it gets better

I know it’s cool to hate on Velma, but it’s actually an entertaining show. It’s funny, it’s sexy, and it’s fun to spot all the references to other old Hanna-Barbara cartoons. The only thing really “wrong” with it is that it’s not aimed at die-hard Scooby-Doo fans but at people like me who don’t mind it when they mock the source material.

Story manager unlocked for posting new stories and chapters. (this is a test run so make sure you have backups of what you post.)

...and it’s not like you can actually write them on the site in real time. I’m a very good typist, but I’m not that good.
Checking my working files, I’ve noticed a few chapters of a work or two slipping through the cracks migrating between several computers. So, I’m now downloading them from here and putting them back into Word docs. Since the reverse cut-and-paste runs all the paragraphs together, that will take just a little time...

Update (edit) and add new chapter both work. Add chapter has an “update” date and time “slightly” in the future, as in six hours ahead of CST and seven hours ahead of EST.
Thanks again for all of your hard work.

The problem was actually a display related issue entirely on my end. Features work as advertised if used correctly. Thanks.

I’m guessing that editing one’s own biography and profile avatar on your own Archive Profile is still turned off? I got “silent failure” for both of those.

Here’s some “ear-worm candy” for all of you to go along with mine.
A very newly formed teenage rock band performs a cold-read “spite-set” during a live appearance before an audience because the band’s leader totally misunderstood a criticism offered by a performer he invited in to listen to them.
The set consists of: Rock and Roll (Led Zeppelin,) Nights on Broadway (Bee Gees,) Immigrant Song (Led Zeppelin,) Babe I’m Gonna Leave You (Led Zeppelin version,) transitioned directly into 25 or 6 to 4 (Chicago.)
The band hasn’t performed any of these songs as a complete band before, and have no sheet music in front of them. They literally put the set together in a two minute conversation before playing it live.
Yet they’re good enough that only the few people who know the band pulled the set out of their asses on the spot even realize that the set was anything other than a well-rehearsed performance. This was their second set of the night. The first set, which the band leader didn’t think they rehearsed well enough, was also very good and well received by the audience.

le sigh... Love me some good and well done magical realism… Decided to give the show “Raising Dion” a chance. Got into it, like it, actually quite like it… then watch seven year old with superpowers break into super secret lab to find a bunch of animals that would be exotic in the eyes of a little black kid in the middle of Atlanta, and he goes
”Wow, where do all these animals come from?”
Godfather-mentor-sidekick: “They come from Iceland...” while staring at a pair of sheep in a glass cage.
Me…: “OOooh, yeah, no, they don’t, buddy, those are not Icelandic, and that horse sure as shit ain’t either.”
Magical realism utterly shattered... -

just found out that David Crosby passed away at the age of 81!

Sitting at my desk last night and some movement on the floor to my right caught my attention. It was a giant spider, lumbering across the floor. It turned out to be an Australian tarantula, our biggest spider. The other night it was a foot long lizard. What the hell is it about my room?
-
Exactly. It didn’t stay outside before you flattened it. So, why would it stay outside without a little “help.”

Actually, if the shoe fits, you really need to shake it out before putting it on; in case either the lizard or worse yet the tarantula decided to find someplace quiet to take a nap.

I am seriously thinking quitting Walmart and going to amazon before Christmas hits! my team leads and coaches keep pulling BS on me. ugh! i was promised different hours and now the bs is that oh we have to go change the hours by hand because you are still under core scheduling (1-10). My Team lead hasn’t done it yet and i was supposed to start my new hours (12-9) December 1st! ugh!
-
I haven’t worked for either employer. But I haven’t heard that much good of either one. You might want to look at transferring to a different location with Walmart, in case it’s supervisor stupidity you’re running into instead of corporate stupidity. But, like the modern saying goes, “you do you.” Good luck with whatever you do.

Here’s a language funny.
If Tomb and Womb have the same sound
then shouldn’t bomb be pronounced Boom?
