    Burn out.

    Burnout is actually why I don't have anything published. Book 1 is done, but it's a very open ending that would likely get me lynched. So I am working on book two now. Because if I don't write well I have the motivation to, who knows when I'll drop it and for how long, and I don't want to do...

    Which mistakes do you know that almost caused crisis on earth

    But at least they were easy to underwrite. And well the NINJA, and SISA loan were a huge part of the bubble, the I/O ARM'S (interest only adjustable rate mortgages) were the product that has likely caused the most grief. And the thing is, nothing was learned. Yeah, lenders tightened down...

    Either Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind or The Vision of Escaflowne are probably the first. But Lupin the III along with Princess Mononoke are up there as well.

    What will you do if you randomly found a dead body in your house?

    With Fava beans and a nice Chianti. Though to be true to the source literature, should be Amarone, not Chianti.

    Writing Need some advice on [Indifference to Empathy]

    Essentially Pavlovs dog. He doesn't like people, but other monsters do(as a food source), so he does grow to associate them(humans) with a act he enjoys(hunting monsters). So, he comes to associate the sight of humans with good things. Further reinforced as humans associate him with saving them...

    What do you think is the strongest emotion in human?

Fear of death and injury from fights for territory caused us to travel. Fear of disease and illness taught us medicine. Fear...

    Vodka with a shot of Vodka. Drink I have actually made: Jokingly called 'All killer, no filler'. Shot of coffee vodka, shot of vanilla vodka, shot(or 2) of cream de cacao, shot(or 2) of bailey's. Goes down real smooth, just don't try to stand up after drinking one.

    Moral scapegoats

    I will try to find it again but I had seen a 'Xianxia Drinking Bingo' of tropes that appear in the stories repeatedly. That one was definitely one of them (along with acupuncture cures everything). Though my personal favorite was the one where they used it to 'cure' pregnancy. Then realizing a...

    I just noticed making Tragedy is easier than Romance

    I think part of it is that tragic events are fairly universal across cultures (death of a loved one, abandonment, loss of home, job, possession, health, ect). People can easily sympathize and identify with that experience, at least on some level. Romance is harder because what is considered...
