Who benefits from this dire situation? What are they doing to sustain it?

A unified universe.
Constant crossovers of characters and events.
A timeline stretching from the beginning of the world to its end.
Welcome to my world...

I wore my Sunday’s finest.
I was not yet four.

Lazing around,
building block cities
from legos while

people pressed footprints
into lunar soil.

Hey. I did my part.
I visited sky wizard.
I built cities.

Mission not in control,

receiving poor
telemetry for
Monday.

Good day!

Our temps will become mild/warm for a couple of days. Strange year.

I’ve passed the 25% mark editing A River in Each Hand, but am suffering some burnout. The voice in the back of my head likes to remind me that if I don’t do it who will?

I’m also feeling sorry for myself over a recently passed anniversary & need to get over it.

Scheduling a break in my routine is what is needed, & I certainly have that freedom.

Be everwell.

I was reading the 48 laws of power book again, got up to rule 27 which is "play on people's need to believe" and had a moment of realisation about AI hype, NFTs, crypto, etc.

I hadn't noticed that, even though I had watched the folding ideas video on flat earth, these aren't scams; they're religions.

Funny. The 48 LOP book is such a sad story of unloved and unlovable characters, but sometimes it does have these little moments where it opens my eyes to other goings on.

In my new fantasy book, I'm going to forego describing my MC. The reader will get a picture of his age and status within society, and an impression of his clothing, nothing else. This will allow the reader to picture him more or less however they want. Support characters will be thoroughly described.

So the question is: how much would readers find an undescribed MC off-putting? Not that the answers will change my plans, I'm just curious.

Ok, writing question!

Where in New York City would a young person live who has two part-time jobs that don't pay particularly great, but who (for magical plot reasons) doesn't have to worry about healthcare expenses, appliances breaking, or other such stuff that poses a major financial risk for real-world (non-magical) people?

Small apartment, solvent parents who can help in a pinch, the character is, for lack of a better description, a liberal, intellectual, scientifically-minded young person (20s).

I've never set foot anywhere in the US, let alone New York, so I have no clue.

Related: it would be amazing if there were a website for writers where they could collaborate on maps of their home towns, describing areas (i.e. "the poor quarter", "the filthy rich white people quarter", "the quarter where students live", etc.), giving descriptions of land marks, party streets, vacation spots, hospitals, etc. – everything a foreign writer would need to plausibly enough describe a character living in that city without huge mistakes like placing a poor character in the "ivy league DINKY trust fund" neighbourhood.

My best ever "home" office view? Probably.

Family holiday time is over and I'm.on a the next few days before starts in earnest again.

This might be the most beautiful place I've ever tried to write a paper. And it's actually going surprisingly well too.
The polar day helps in this case ...

My hi-lo draft needs to be no more than 26,250 words.

I am now below 29k.

Four more chapters to go of the easy wins, and then I'll see just how many bits I missed on the quick fly through one tedious step at a time. Whee!

Wanting for the
world to eschew those
opinions that I disown,

yet I subscribe privately
to their empiricism
with tomorrow’s vigor.

Everyone is fucking looking.

Ignominy tilts
my eyes down.

I can’t watch.
