So that's what happened to Mr. Ed....

Kind of related(in the sense of weird shit that was consumed in food, drink or medicine)- I watched a program on food in Victorian England, and one of the things they did was add borax powder to milk as it masked the sour flavor from spoiling. Milk was primarily for children. Unfortunately, it...

How Not Too Die- Michael Gregor, MD.

Thanks for this. I am starting an outline on a story I want to try and it was feeling slow. This will help. Gives me more to focus on to flesh out the outline.

Have any of you tried the snowflake method? Any thoughts about it? Write now I have a couple different templates for different outlines that I am working on building the framework up from. I am hoping by using multiple styles it will force me to explore and expand the details a bit more. First...

Most of my writing is short stories- I go in with a simple idea and that's it. Works okay most of the time. But for longer stories I struggle to create a coherent flow as I have an idea, and a few scenes that I want/need to occur, but the rest is badly connected with awful flow that I spend as...

Work backwards- what evidence would exonerate them in the eyes of the heavenly court? Them figure out what would have to occur for them to get said evidence.

"Hello. We've been trying to reach you about your vehicles extended warranty."

People who talk about 'beating depression' I suspect never had the really deep, pernicious kind. You don't beat it, you strangle that fucker til it's unconscious and toss it back down into the basement and relock the door. Then you get a reprieve until it wakes up and chews its way out. Could...

For me it is a matter of 'force myself to do it until it becomes a habit'. This isn't just writing, it's exercising, it's cleaning up my diet(side benefit of severely cutting sugar and fat is the foods don't taste right after a few weeks).

If I have Monstrous Limes, I can make Monstrous Margaritas. Just saying.????

Grab a prompt and do short or flash fiction.

Finish building an archery target.

Yes, I have had it with reading and watching shows. It always for me has been tied to stress, overwork and exhaustion. College and work killed hard-core sci-fi for me. My recommendation is take some time off from it, focus on getting more sleep and unwinding. I also found when I started...

Yup. It's a very very dark purple so looks black. Has a nutty flavor like brown. I prefer it to brown. Very tasty in both sweet and savory dishes. If you cook it in a rice cooker, it is cooked at a ratio of 2 parts water to one part rice. Use the brown rice setting. https://a.co/d/06lpjkQ

Yes. I make up black rice for this. Strawberry goes awesome on it as well.

Here we call those Bullseyes or Buckeyes. Very yummy. My mom makes batches of Lebkuchen and Springerle(complete with the embossed designs) every year. I have to ration them out to not eat them all in a couple days.

It is not just in fantasy novels: I remember when I was in Scotland once, I went on a tour, and at one point, on reference to an event in the 1200's went 'and that's why we hate the English.' Also, finding out that Edinburghs 'new town' is still over two centuries old. It was started before...

CAT scan, MRI, echocardiogram, ultrasound of legs, multiple blood draws, ECGs and a 12 hour ECC.... starts counting organs.... shit.

I can't believe you left out the liver with a nice chianti.
