    ... well I mean, yeah. In some parts of the world, that's the better part of the day. This time of year where I am, 'sunset' lasts for like two hours and then there's another two hours of twilight before it's properly dark. Why there are so many novels that seem to take place far up north is a...

    Writing Tools/methods you use to write yourself out of a predicament?

    I start over with what I've learned. I'm a chronic pantser, so that means I don't release any stories anymore until I've got something solid written. But these days when I start a longer work, I'm working with a 'character map', which is basically just one line with two different traits at each...

    Art and insecurities

    In my experience... that's a matter of what you aim to do. If you're drawing because it's fun, that's the only thing you should aim for - having fun. Skills and a wide comfort zone are good things to have, but not everybody wants to have them badly enough to pursue it and that's perfectly...

    Only Slightly Insane

    Nine women in chainmail bikinis furiously braved the bitter cold of the Canadianian winter. Or, rather, eight of them braved the cold - the ninth looked quite comfortable, actually, as if she was taking a pleasant stroll on a sunny beach somewhere. The eight were young, some in their teens, some...

    How difficult: English language as the medium of writing

    Feeling this. English is my second language, and I used to write directly in English all the time. For most stuff I still do, but usually not for novels, at least when I'm serious. I got a tip from an editor a while ago, who said to write in my native language and then translate it. And it's so...

    I can't seem to get my bearings on writing or think by myself

    Ah, yes, the bane of my writing career. In my case, the cause is usually stress. Whether I notice that I'm stressed out or not. Writing is actually a pretty good warning signal. If I'm unable to write something that feels coherent, it's because my thoughts probably aren't coherent, and I'm not...

    Use "fork" in a sentence...

    I have a tendency to get lost in forkosophical thoughts a lot, and recently I've been pondering the Ourobofork; the mythoforkical fork that devours its own handle, as a symbol of that which never changes, yet also represents the eternal forkroad, the choice we have each and every second of our...

    Zombie NPCs in Post-Apocalypse

    But imagine a monk/nun in that situation. Second coming, yo.

    It's late summer in the northern hemisphere = less people online I guess.

    The Not-So Evil "Evil"

    Aye... 'The way of the house husband' is pretty epic, too. It's about a man who keeps getting caught up in gag misunderstandings due to having been the former top dog of the local Yakuza until he married. Now he's just trying to be your every day DIY house hubby but he have some adaption...

    Writing Prompt The Isekai'er that didn't get a job change

    Our hero/heroes got summoned to the other world and tasked with defeating the demon lord or whatever. It's a game-like world with status windows, levels and classes, so when they open their stat window to inspect their character sheet, they expect a class or job like 'archer' or 'warrior' or...

    Writing Prompt What is Magic?

    "Auntie, what is magic?" Two people shared an avocado on a bench by the beach, in the pleasant shade of a tree. One was an old woman whose skin had wrinkled and hair bleached white in the many years she spent at sea, and the other was a little girl, perhaps five years old. The woman thought...

    Have you ever had an idea you never made for one reason or another?

    99.9% of my story ideas never get materialized. One character in particular gets recycled a lot, to the point where I could write a whole adventure story with her different iterations as the whole character cast. I guess my current favorite version is this outdated one, at this point rather...

    If someone wrote a romance story 'bout two cute traps (male) does it count as BL?

    Can of worms. Technically yes, it probably could count as that. Not all transgender people have their gender identity set from the start, especially if they're still teens and figuring it out. But if you are planning to write a kink story... you need to be very careful about it or prepare to...

    But League players are so...

    I played it for about a month quite a few years back until the toxic attitudes became too expensive for the worth. Like ok it was kind of funny in the beginning, but being cussed at non-stop by people who I'm trying to cooperate with? I don't get why anybody wants to do that, game after game...

    Escapism

    Yes. You do. If you didn't care, you wouldn't be here. Pet a cat or something. Like dude I can hear your heart beating angrily through the screen all the way over here.

    Escapism

    Well, not quite the same, but since you're an expert about solving problems through willpower, you sound like just the person to give me some advice about what I should do in my situation. See, I hear that scene every now and then when I try to sleep. Someone who is in so much agony they're...

    Escapism

    Hey, out of curiosity, ever heard the screams of dying people?

    Escapism

    Aren't you also escaping? You could easily live by your words and change your life a little so that you're not bored, so that you find something you're passionate about, or makes the world better. You could strive to achieve something, to master something, or whatever you want really. But here...
