    Wait this is like the second time I’ve heard you say this…how much x rated stuff are you writing? 😅

    Question. For those of you that use 3rd person close, do you write the thoughts of the character in italics, or do you work it into the text? For example… NC_Quail looked at the sky. Thick black clouds were approaching. It’s going to rain, she thought. Vs… NC_Quail looked up at the sky...

    To be fair, I’ve read a lot of books where the main character is never specifically described. Most of the time you can probably leave it up to the reader, unless the character’s physical appearance is particularly important.

    Yeah, I cultured chicken poop once in a microbiology class…without describing the results to you, let’s just say I would be a little concerned about breathing that in.

    Yep, I have been spending way too much time lately watching YouTube videos about deep sea creatures. The problem is that I have so many creature ideas than I’m having hard time getting everything to fit together in a logical ecosystem. Also why would you name a computer Jonah? I think...

    My issue with research is that I’m only motivated to research things that I’m interested in, when I actually should research a wide variety of things of world building purposes. Me: would a technologically advanced society still use metal coins as currency? Meh, who cares. Also me: that’s a...

    The “collecting real-life experiences for writing” is valid. This week I’ve been really sick with a fever, which on one hand is terrible, but on the other hand…I know how to write this now. All I need to do now is fall out of a second-story window, get a concussion, break a few ribs, and make a...

    Yeah, not sure why I was beating around the bush there. I’m a writer of sci-fi/fantasy (surprise, surprise). My current novel is 15,000 words so far. For Novel November/naNoWriMo/whatever-it’s-called-this-week I wrote 10,000 words. So right now I don’t have an active writing goal, since I just...

    Daily Writing Prompt Thread Thingy It'll Be Fun

    Perfect timing with this prompt, I was just reading an old snippet I wrote a while ago and it kindof fits. Not exactly the same wording as the prompt. Asili stopped in her tracks, her eyes flicking from one clump of underbrush to the next. She was getting that…squirmy feeling again, the hair on...
