I read it and thought it was decent. Wish he'd follow his own advice though. I'm not a big fan.
I liked The Plot Whisperer. To me, it really explored the craft and made everything click in for me.
I'm ending a day of high temps under a Saharan dust cloud with a beer (they were out of Blue Moon so I went Corona, because what better time in life?). Now losing myself in the comp entry that will likely not be entered in time, as per my normal. I like it, though. Maybe a little off-normal, but that's the way I like them. ;D
Martin, that's too much pressure washing. Sleep well!
On my laptop, it's usually an image using a setting from a story I'm writing. Just helps me get in the zone.
Red wine. I love blends, but also cabernet and noirs.
That said, if it's a hot day, I'd want a cooler, lighter drink. I like whites then, if I'm drinking wine. Chardonnay or Moscatos.
What are some of the weirdest things you've Googled to write your stories?
I was laughing about this today. I've looked up a few fetishes, porn statistics, knife fighting, basic geography and weather of various locations, language translations, addiction basics, and homesteading... and that's just for erotica stories in the past year.
I loved this one. No character or plot cliches and I swear this woman writes better with every story. I've become a fan and a jealous fellow writer, lol. Congrats, Alyx!
It's been a long week. I'm sick of talking and thinking about, and planning for the virus. I'd much rather have a laugh, get laid, and/or get spanked. Maybe later. Now, it's wine:40.
Hello, you sexy bunch.
Only a week?
For me, Sprite is one of those people who drives the site. She was a rockstar when I started here and still is. There are a few writers whose work allowed me explore and understand my own sexual orientation and that the boundaries of what's sexy aren't solid. She's one of them. She's funny but serious, strong but vulnerable, deep but light, intense but chill, and she's fiercely passionate and compassionate.
Love you.
I'm glad you went! Some workshops are more like a celebration of writing and too nice to be constructive. Sounds like you got a good one.
Take what you heard, learn it, breathe it, and forget it when you write. Use it when you edit. Otherwise you'll never be able to do it again. That was my experience anyway. I constantly read published work as well, to get me out of my head and keep my writing more fresh.
I've attended many workshops, all run by the same (published) woman. It's changed the way I read and write, but mostly how I edit. We met once a week for about 6 weeks, and it was fantastic. I miss the atmosphere and almost everything about it.
How many fall through the cracks? It's so common--why isn't this fucking streamlined? It shouldn't be this hard. This is a motherfucking disgrace. A FUCKING DISGRACE.
I miss smoking, but quitting was one of the best decisions of my life. I urge all the smokers I know to quit. Even weed... you can bake it or do the candy or whatever instead. I have a real fear of not being able to breathe, for whatever reason, and I can't stand the thought of anyone I know going through that.
anyway, I'm on the verge of house hunting again. Wish me luck.
I slept for around 11 hours last night. It's like I've been stressed and tired or something. 5 cups of coffee to de-sludge my brain, please. ?
Planning on a small hike later. The weather says the sun will be shining with no chance of bears. Lol
Chelsea cut, because I wanted to.
