Nope! I have to create fresh characters from scratch for each book.

Nope, I always edit the heck out of it once the first draft is done, so any inconsistencies are hopefully ironed out.

Yesh! I’m having trouble starting this new book right now just for that reason. (♯^.^ღ)

Your method is my former method! I’ve written books that way before myself, but didn’t enjoy it because I frequently got lost, sidetracked or forgot things I wanted to include. So I thought outlining would give me a sense of direction for once so I could write a book without feeling lost and disorganized. I may go back to full pantsing someday, but I want to give detailed outlining a good try first. ( ˆ◡ˆ)۶ ٩(˘◡˘ )

Oooof, that must’ve been exhausting :sweat_smile:

Well, everyone has their own way of writing. Maybe if there are aspects of pantsing you enjoy, you’ll find a way to mix it in with your outlining method.

Have you ever come across writing methods of authors or writer friends that surprised you?

I knew this one writer who did world building for ten years down to every little detail. She didn’t write anything during that time. Only world building. Then we were talking and during that time, she wrote the complete manuscript in a few weeks. It was like 100k or something :eyes:

But its really that simple. I’ve got a lifetime of reading under my belt so sometimes I couldn’t even tell you source idea for the flinging of situations.

So, if you were asked by a politician, “What will make this country easier to live in, in your personal opinion?” what would you say? Answer from the perspective of the country you live in now.

I would say, “It would be better if the politicians cared about what the people said and asked them. We are the ones living here, ya know?”

Being an American, that is WAY TOO MANY things to list down! And the list of things is growing larger each day! I don’t even know where to begin with answering that.

Damn…

I hate socialism, but I think America does need a federally sponsored healthcare system and maybe even a universal basic income instead of Social Security. Hell, even Elon Musk supports this so why can’t the politicians? Okay, he’s not exactly an economist and we’ve seen what he’s done to his own fortune with Twitter, but never mind. If we made the wealthiest pay their fair share of taxes it wouldn’t be a problem, in my opinion.

As a personal idea, I’ve long thought that maybe we should get rid of taxes entirely and simply put a cap on capitalism. Like, you’d be allowed to earn up to 10 million dollars or whatever cap we put on it, and everything you earned above that would go into the public trust to pay for public programs, fire fighters, schools, libraries and all that stuff. Maybe even utilities and internet. I don’t know if it would work, but it’s been on my mind for the past several many years. Though I’ve never heard anyone else suggest something like this, so maybe there’s a bad side to it I’m not anticipating. (♯^.^ღ)

I decree that all states and territories in the union begin to publish websites showing off all of the weird stuff that happens in them, ala Weird NJ, in order to boost the economy and tourism.

A whole reaet, done the right way. But done the wrong way will make us worse off.

Oh! I thought of something else, but it would never happen. It needs to be made illegal for congress to award themselves pay raises since they’re supposed to be working for us, not for themselves. Every pay raise should be subject to our vote, not theirs, and of course we’d reject it every time. They expect us to work for no pay but refuse to do so themselves. We’re also entitled to everything they get in the way of benefits, healthcare, retirement accounts, etc. and yet they don’t see it that way either. Like Qualeshia said, there are simply too many problems to fix here. (ノД`)ヽ (ノД`゚)゚。

So how are things in Japan? ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯

That could be an idea. But then you have to remember how people can lie about their income to avoid taxes. They could lie about their income to avoid getting capped :sweat_smile:

Maybe it should be made super transparent where everyone’s taxes go. Then maybe at least some people won’t avoid the tax or cap. In college, I used to donate a little to the WWF and then I found out that there’s no way of knowing if my donation is going to the animals in need, or to someone’s personal pocket. I stopped donating then. If I knew where my money, down to the cent, was going, then maybe I’d be more willing again.

Alright. So then if the politician asks you to publish the first weird thing, what would it be? (I’m afraid to know XD but tell me anyway)
