My WIP folder haunts me daily as I start writing yet another new thing. LOL. On the bright side. One day I'll finish at least a handful of them. XD

I'll also throw in support for Scrivener. It's a fantastic editor for novels that keeps all of your notes. The compile function in particular is amazing, especially if you start self publishing.

Fanfiction, but not because I dislike it. Lol. I'm here to read original fiction. Lol. If I want to read/write fanfiction, I use AO3 or occassionally I'll go back to fanfiction.net.

That "oh" moment where Person A does something ordinary or simple that Person B finds adorable/cute/admirable and Person B is so struck with adoration they finally realize they're in love. That one little thing that tips the scale~

It sounds like a fun concept. A little tricky managing the POVs and who knows what, but it could work.

Bob Ross Remixed came out 11 years ago and continues to bring great joy to me. I thought I should share it: I do not draw nearly as much as I used to. I need to believe in my inner Bob Ross and get back to it. Enjoy, fellow artists. XD

I mean. That is what I'm doing. Doesn't bring all the jobs already lost back, though.

It's gambling. Lol. Highly addictive.

Corporations don't care. People are already losing jobs in almost every art and writing related industry. Here's just one example: https://www.wired.com/story/ai-is-already-taking-jobs-in-the-video-game-industry/ Heck, just look at mobile game ads. Those used to be done by an artist and now...

Why is that the future you want though? Creating is the fun part of writing. Seeing yourself improve is fun. Brainstorming is fun. Researching is fun. Editing can be a pain, but the end result is satisfying. Why would you want a machine to do it for you? You're robbing yourself of growth, and...

It's usually not just the system and the general "We have to keep raising the stakes or the story ends" dilemma. The story has to support it. Goku going Super Saiyan for the first time wasn't just impactful bc it was a power up. It was the *why he did it* that made you remember the moment. As...

Large, chaotic events with casualties usually work. See Transformers: The Movie for an example when the series wanted to swap out the main cast. Lol.

Moat of the time, no. I love looking at older writing and seeing how my writing has changed and developed in the past 20 years. There are definitely moments where I am like "well, that wasn't great" but recently I remind myself it was the best I could do at the time and move forward. :D

Project Gutenberg is always a good resource for older works: https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?query=fae&submit_search=Search

Moonstone Island has taken over all my free time. It's Stardew meets Pokémon and I'm in love.
