Friends! So proud of all of you for all of your progress! Unfortunately, having worked nearly seventy hours in the last six days, my own has not been substantial. Big time of year at work (I'm a grocer) getting ready for Thanksgiving, and our bi-yearly full store inventory happens to be...

For me, I'm very much trying to lay out the tracks in front of me as quickly and voluminously as possible. My major issue in my writing is that I spend so much time editing myself as I write that I never really end up anywhere. I get frustrated because I don't know where to go next, or if any of...

Happy Monday! Ran a (nearly) 3 hr session overnight and mustered up 1010 words. Up to 2310 total! Sounds exciting! I can imagine the hilarious and dire situations these Harvesters must find themselves in on a regular basis. 😆 Also, general question for the group. If I have previous...

Well, I'm a couple days late but I'd love to join! 1. Title - (tentative) Lich Well 2. Genre - Dark Fantasy/ Horror Elements 3. Blurb - After an acidic storm ravages the coastal city of Laur, the cleric Aela teams up with Thieves' Guild member Ashlynne to search for alchemical remedies in the...

You know you're a writer when you spend WAY more time than you should thinking about how to turn cool new people you meet into interesting characters.

Nice to meet you Dolly! I'll be keeping an eye out for Ashbinder in December! 260k is impressive! If you're that worried about retention, ever think of splitting it into a couple shorter installments?

I don't think it's a problem for that casual reader, just there to enjoy the journey for sure. For the die hards who want to really absorb themselves in the lore to a Tolkien-esque degree, I can see why it would matter. And both perspectives are totally valid. They mentioned in the article that...

I'm not quite sure if you're asking more of "How would I go about writing this into my world?", or if you're looking for more of advice on how the RPG rules system itself should function, mechanically. If it's the former, I'd just go about it by referencing it from time to time, as opposed to...

I never finished BG3, I'll have to get back to my gnome bard hijinks. Currently though, I'm working another playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077, since I finally got the DLC.

This, so much. I know for a fact I am exhausted with the trend of remakes/reboots and overly drawn out series continuations that has dominated the film industry for the last decade. It's been said already but I would agree that it really comes down to oversaturation, combined with a total shift...

As a fellow easily distracted by video games individual I understand your predicament. They weren't just getting in the way of writing for me, like many I damaged relationships, missed opportunities, checked out of life, etc. I had to ask myself what I valued more (as many already eluded to)...

That sounds absolutely incredible and I may have to spend my Audible credit for this month on this. I really enjoyed Steve-o reading his autobiographic/self-help book A Hard Kick in the Nuts. (which I know sounds crazy getting self-help advice coming from... Steve-o) Usually recording quality...

Welcome from a fellow aspiring, getting back into it, wannabe. Feel free to reach out if you need anything!

Good day! I'm glad to have stumbled across this community in my internet adventures. 30 y/o male here who was a much more avid writer in high school (weren't we all?) and now that I'm getting a better handle on day-to-day adulting I'm excited to get back into the craft! Looking forward to...
