I pride myself on my memory, memorising, guessing games. I am quite accurate. I sit at the desk or the chair and I type away, I feel like I am getting to the point. There are crosswords and puzzles where words and memory are important and I enjoy them because of my skill. The worst is trying to...

It is a fine thing to write characters who take the reins. Once I had a story in mind where all the characters would bow down to a hunchback character. It seemed to be going really well, until a love interest came along. Then I did not know what to do about my evolutions, because they did not...

I have characters that act straight edge and gay. I think they are polar opposites, but autism or stoic could sum it up. When you can read any character into an MC, I’d like to think they are the conscientious objector, removed from the situation, but not the devil’s advocate. Some characters...

I have a similar idea to your story mechanic, but I made it out of the scrapyard. There was a general fallout, with no more fuel to produce electricity, so they turned to magic and eventually found the perfect solution, these logograms you speak of. Mechs are a fantastic idea if you want the...

A monitor is all I have. PC inside. However I have sorta had similar troubles way back in the day. A green crash screen, or blue, or whatever. The worst, is cracks in the screen. You get lines of code that will not get through, you have a blinking crosshair with a glitch attached. The first...

A movie I really liked was Night on the Galactic Railroad. It sets up Giovanni and Campanella, as two cats from the back of the bus, one’s father is away. They are celebrating Centaurus festival, at town commons. Things get spicy. For some reason they are teleported across the galaxy and get...

It sounds like an interesting premise. Bilingual? Cool!

Most of my attempts have been novellas. So chapter count is determined by scale of the book. To contrast this, the chapters are roughly not at all the same, because I plan out the text but have no rough estimate. This means there is no way to predict the outcome of the plot or storyline either...

I think four letter words make it less erotic and more of a flash bang. This might be different in the battle of the sexes. Purely for plot, I have read that description evokes the mind just as much as character progression and should be respected in harmony. There is regarding audience a gap...

Sometimes you get anachronisms that seem a bit like a pardon me from a grand old person, like some names in those ancient movies or books you think is a slip of the mind from old age rather than a slip of the forked tongue. You kind of wonder where censorship comes from and if it is a cruelty...

I like Screwtape Letters and The Great Devorce. One is about spirits, communing with each other, and the other asks interesting questions about peace and metaphysics. I can see why C S Lewis would have based opinions on eroticism and abuse. Ask Aslan, and he would probably bite your head off...

I have had loads of fun with scripts but it does seem like selling a bit of your soul. They come out exactly like a poached egg for me, and a little like a dried tongue in cheek bit of cheese. Maybe a sushi roll? What does it for me is a spark to the magic of the movies. I think it is much less...

I find it funny how AI messes up the algorithm with their own creations. They have this neat thing where they can zoom in however. But the search for images gets quite accurate I know. My mother has more knowledge than me on ChatGPT, and I have seen YouTubers explore the merits of different...

I was at the internet cafe, scribbling some notes on a pad, because I did not have a tablet. So I was approached by two mates, and they are smiling, and they tell me about this new bit of hacker tech they have on SD. So we order chips, and I feel like I smell of pizza, but the fact is my date is...
