Just imagine the nicest nap, and when you wake up, everything looks sparkly. Kind of. XD

It wasn’t fun before I fell asleep because I get nervous shivers and sometimes vasovagal syncope. But the nurses are good at monitoring that.

I’m just back to the normal “I have no idea what the heck my brain is doing.”

Hey, your br…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @rae

The drugs are in me and I’m happy! It’s over and it went well. I gotta um not post that much though because it’s hard to type correctly. 😆

@rae that’s why I like it too.

LGBT will likely always be a thing in the art and fandom community, sadly. But tbh, for me, it’s much easier to ignore than any form of NSFW.

@rae Ah, ok. But hey, at least it was an actual person and not a bot.

Here’s an example of the blog I built on Wix a while ago, if you want to look at it. It appears to have no ads currently 🤷‍♀️

@janellebelovedpig

I can’t say for sure that there’s no ads, but I believe Wix and Blogger are both good options too!

@savannah_grace2009

Sounds realistic to me! I just read the Wilderking trilogy which has a very similar plot that you might want to take ideas from and see how it’s executed. It’s a common plot though, I’m sure it (or some variation of it) is in many books, and it’s a great way to build tension.

@ellette-giselle thank you!

@rae

Are you still feeling alright? I hope things are better emotionally as well.

I’m having another two procedures done tomorrow. I caught the flu and already feel miserable. Hopefully God will bless me with a nice long nap and no discomfort. 🙂

@whalekeeper There’s not much of a backstory for this character yet, but yeah I could probably throw some stuff in there lol

@keilah-h

Have you ever found it hard to write from the perspective of a villain?

I haven’t thought about it, and I don’t think I’ve ever tried. But I can see how it would be hard. You have to see things from their point of view, which is almost impossible if you don’t empathize at all with their actions.

I understand my villains more when th…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

I’m glad! I’m very happy with my consistency right now, so thank you for acknowledging my happiness. 😂 I would like people to know everyone else is still typing away, because yeah, it’s less easy to get discouraged with other people around. And I don’t mind chatting about the writing even if people aren’t here at the same time…

@mineralizedwritings good advice!

You have no idea how many times I’ve seen someone say something very wrong or even blatantly stupid on the Internet and I wanna point out the flaw in their reasoning SO BAD, but I decide not to because the argument will only end badly for both of us, and I’ll have wasted my time. It’s better that I go do somet…[Read more]

… Our mother and my sisters and I call babies and little animals “squishies.”

Oh my goodness I call my plushies squishies! Lol

@rae

Hey sorry you’re having trouble sleeping over this whole thing! Sounds frustrating.

Something I’ve learned that might help you is it’s always ok for you to end a conversation for your own reasons. In my opinion, if you’re talking in all caps, or your hands are shaking, the conversation has gone on too long. There’s no reason to argue with…[Read more]

Random thing for y’all:

Have you ever found it hard to write from the perspective of a villain?

Like, I’m writing a short story from the perspective of my antagonist, and it’s really hard for me to make my guy NOT feel sorry whatsoever for the two characters he just killed in cold blood because they wouldn’t give him what he wanted lol

@rae

I did end up drafting and sending an email to Unvale with the screen recording I was able to get before the page refreshed and the comments were gone.

Good! And letting the artists know at least gives you something else to do, if Unvale is unable to do anything.

And I’m always clearing out trash emails myself, although eh… hehe…

I am in…[Read more]

@rae honestly clearing out your emails is a GOOD habit so there’s no issue if you did delete it.

given that you said you sent an email to them, you’re probably fine.

@rae @whalekeeper

What can they do by reporting you? If they reported you, couldn’t you explain the situation to whoever makes the decisions? Or maybe you can let the real artists know and let them deal with the situation?

This seems like good advice to me.

I’ll add to it: When I first joined I got an email from one of the guys in charge, a…[Read more]
