Talented writers? *shuffling inconspicuously into the room and trying to appear as if I belong*
naughtynurse hit the nail on the head with "what if?". That's exactly the question that tends to pop up in my head and gets the literary juices flowing. It used to be harder when I started writing and inspiration would sometimes take extended leaves, but like with most other things, practice makes it easier. The "what if?" questions tends to pop up a few times each hour, and sometimes the smallest things, just a name I read or an image I see, can set an interesting premise for a story. I've even taken to carrying one of those electric fly swats around, to fend off packs of overzealous plot bunnies.
As for chapter updates, I really try my best not to keep readers dangling for ages, but sometimes life interferes or my muses push me into another direction for a while. I used to feel guilty about that, but it's actually part of the learning experience as a writer to get feedback as I go, and it is also a part of Lush's charm to see other writers evolve while their story progresses.
I very much agree with the sentiments here. Much depends on who's speaking, but pussy is usually on the safer side of scale. The "kitty" connotation makes it more light-hearted than others to my ears. The just-turned-eighteen neighbor might call it "slit" or "cunt" to be cool in front of his peers though, while the romantic lover can get away with "temple". I guess it's both the variation and the context that count. I'd let the uptight religious virgin call it "vagina" in her own mind, but only until she has something buried inside, experiences her very own spiritual awakening and cries out "god, fuck my cunt!" And as i don't care for any stray plot bunnies right now, if you happen upon one, take it ;)
Torchwood. One of the few series available in original voice here in Germany, and listening to the Welsh lilt is addictive.
All goals for March reached, yay!
Now onto April. I thought I might tread a little slower next month. But then I realized that is so not me, hehe.
So here's my todo list: publish 6 chapters for my ongoing stories and bring at least one of them full circle. Try to earn another recommended read by fine-combing everything again and again before posting. Start outlining The Moon Forest (just a working title), a boiling hot modern-day potpourri of crime, mystery and magic, before I forget all the ideas that are swirling in my head. And finally, write at least one story for a category I haven't touched yet.
Just a fleeting thought that has entered my mind for the third time now, so I'll share it, even though I really feel bad about possibly adding to Gav's pile:
With the number of new categories it has become incredibly difficult to get the Omnium badge, so how about a "light version" to encourage diversity in writing. Perhaps awarding a "Versatile" badge if an author has stories in 20 categories, which would be a little more than half of the existing ones? This might be doable for some of the authors here and push them to leave their chosen nesting places occasionally ;)
There's something incredibly liberating in sleeping naked. Even more so when it's summer and the house has warmed up enough so that I don't even need a blanket.
I can't believe nobody's mentioned ginger roots yet - admittedly, they're not your average cuddly sex toy, but right there along with clothes spins, ice cubes and rope to give the so inclined one hell of a solo time *winks*
Why did I see that one coming? *scratches her head*
Send pix!!!
Seriously, I've got no idea what flan is, and google images couldn't really help me either. Other than that it is sweet, I'm clueless. I mean, more clueless as usually. At least that I'm aware of. Am I rambling?
Oops, strike that. The picture just didn't load at the first try.
That was the missing piece of information that totally changes things.
and beware if she turns her flame thrower on you
