I’m 2 days behind currently, too. Only made it on day one because I had to Mom and Taxi. I’m not totally happy with that. Lmao

I realised that if I plan things out, it doesn’t come out. The words.

That’s why I don’t plan much.

What’s the most oddball thing your characters can be caught doing right now? Write that, then try to spin it towards you plan. If it doesn’t budge, you’re still writing something.

Try free writing for a couple of minutes before you start work on the project. Get yourself warmed up

Nothing really, to be honest. They’re landlocked into a messy house and ransacking scene.

Never thought of that, tbh thanks.

I was thinking of doing that before it was recommended to me to check my activity log. But then that was so far back, I don’t even know if I’d remember what to look for and I sometimes delete my browser history periodically :sweat_smile:

But this book (This Body’s Not Big Enough for Both of Us) has been found and I’ve ordered a copy. Should be coming in this Sunday, I’m excited!

See, this is why I kept suggesting that cranky girlfriend turn into a demon and eat one of your dudes.

I did that and no one read the story and it didn’t get through to the third round of ONC :flushed:

It wasn’t for the reads, it was to keep you on task.

It creeped the judges out LOL but it was a ride, yes. Thanks for that, I mean it.

People are too conventional and haven’t read half of demonology if they think that was weird. It was positively par for the course.

It wasn’t even that weird and it was actually fun to rite.

LOL if I could see forever, I would just make money from predictions.

That’s more eldritch horror mommy.

I seriously don’t think people really think about how weird it is to fall in love with YOU ARE FOOD (anime reference: Father Abel Nightroad?). We’ve made some pretty strange things conventional, as a species.

Well, after taking most of yesterday and today off from writing I finally haven’t been blocked about how to continue writing the first two chapters (I moved onto the second chapter when I was stuck with the first).

Back to reality of being meh and trying to force myself to write. But can’t do it, so just spending time reviewing plot points and building up reference materials in the story project database.

lol, your brain loves “R”. And those all take place in the same world?

Yes.

A wonder the world doesn’t start with “R”, but if I remember correctly, doesn’t it have two "R"s in it?
