@lowqualityfacts First off, I'd have to fly my grandmother to Argentina...

What gets in the way of your writing?

Mostly me.

I can use that, though. I wrote a 6000 word short story over the weekend because I was supposed to be doing something else.

I never ever ever win at Dominion, although I always have fun regardless. But tonight, I crushed my opponents so thoroughly that they aren’t going to ever let me use the strategy I used again.

@kimu Did you drive them before you and hear the lamentations of their women?

did they stop making marvel movies? i feel like i haven't heard about one in like 5 years

@dirt Their big arc was spoiled when their major baddie beat up a woman IRL so they had to dump him. Loki tried to tie that off, but they're floundering a lot, now.

@jupiter This infographic was generated by @XdanielArt, a few years ago, now. I'm just re-sharing. The point of this info is to be shared, so go ahead.

@delegatevoid It's an older List, but it still (mostly) checks out.

Just finished 'Cruel Provocations' by @golgaloth and I wish it wasn't over - so much so that I stopped myself reading the last few chapters last night, just to draw the enjoyment out a little longer.

An intriguing tale that combines an ostensibly fantasy setting with proto-electric technology (lightning-punk?) its twists and turns take you to unexpected places, and does "the fey" with a unique approach that I loved.

A very impressive debut novel that cries out for a sequel!

@imalcolm
Lightning Punk is the term I use. I have some ideas for a sequel, but not really resolved enough yet. New book coming soon!

Went to and spent so much time around writers and ideas that I wrote an entire 6,000 word short story over the course of the weekend.

Worth it just for that.

Also, many lovely people and interesting presentations.

Kermit the Frog is typing very, very quickly. The ideas are flowing. He must catch them all before they stop, never to return.

Sad to be leaving #Melbourne, but it is raining, so it's not all bad.

What is the best solution for those horrible tiny black beetles that always chew up my eggplant leaves? I normally don't use anything more potent than insecticidal soap but it barely has any effect on them. And although it's satisfying, I can't stay ahead of them by smashing them between my fingers.

I've been writing for so many years and I still get caught up on Discrete vs Discreet. Do any of you have words you struggle with?

How did you settle on your MC's appearance?

That's just what they look like in my head. I'll usually have a very strong, visual feel for the character. If I need to describe them more specifically, I'll probably find some sort of image online, but mostly it's a visual feel, a gesture, a sense of their appearance rather than anything too specific. I think the readers deserve to come up with their own ideas about who my characters are.

Great coffee and catch up with George this morning. Then it was back to #c16Reboot for some interesting panels. A good weekend.

Hey friends, my rear tyre's sidewall has developed a hernia. Is this salvageable? (Compass 52mm smooth tyres)

golgaloth,
@golgaloth@writing.exchange avatar

@federicomena Oof. Nope. That'll need replacing. I mean, you could use a really large patch, but you're probably going to lose your innertube if you don't replace the outer.

Does your character have a pet? What is the pet's secret?
