I’ll try. *Stands up and trips again, knocking you over*

@ellette-giselle

Oh no! Yikes. I hope you get better soon as well.

@rae

Interesting! That’s cool. I’m also part German, up to like 50%. (Could possibly be Dutch instead, it’s hard for ancestry websites to tell.) I think my last name means “Manly”… lol. Sounds like a sweet memory!

@esther-c No worries! Just checking in.

@ellette-giselle

I’ve read both the books, but it’s been a while. I think I borrowed them using interlibrary loans or whatever. They were pretty good. Probably worth rereading at some point soon. If you can borrow them anywhere, you should.

@ellette-giselle

That’s okay! When did you get injured?

@rae

Kay! I will try to remember to read these after finishing the weekly work.

@savannah_grace2009

ACTUALLY??!!

🤣 Awww, that’s so cool!!! 🥰 I love that you used it!! XDD

@hybridlore

Nothing really that I can think of. Thanks for asking! 🤗

@godlyfantasy12

Oooh, I love the sound of this!!!

@stephie

I remember writing a short story about a guy who was the president or something and thought that the sun had fallen out of the sky and went crazy and told the press about it.

He should stop spending time with Chicken Little, that’s what I…[Read more]

What is the difference between the brain and the mind’s aspects?

That distinction is fuzzy in universe, intentionally, because I think it’s also fuzzy in real life. The best distinction I can give is that the brain is purely physical (which makes the distinction between physical and psychological aspect a bit fuzzy as well), while t…[Read more]

After a couple weeks of contemplation, the only genre my project seems to fall into is ‘absurdist fiction.’

Me:

It fits, and it’s funny, but it’s so hard to explain to people. I’m just trying to imagine having a conversation with a writer friend. “I’ve got a deep epic fantasy world, how about you?” “I write absurdist fiction. I’m pretty happy…[Read more]

*SUBSCRIBES*

I need to read this, one hundred percent. I’m sorry I haven’t jumped onto this topic right away, school and thesis have been attacking all my cognitive functions.

@rae

Eeeeyyyyyy cool art!!

Cross hatching and stippling look good, but they take sooo long… And if you get impatient, it looks messy.

@theducktator

*offers cake, slowly claps*

@rae

Wow! Yeah, I wouldn’t have guessed that! What is the origin of your last name?

Funny story… my grandma’s maiden name was probably originally said one way, since it’s not pronounced how it looks, but when her mom (or grandma? I can’t remember which) married into the family, she started pronouncing it a different way since she had a lisp. And…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Are we planning another one of these for this Saturday, or what’s the plan? 😉

@rae
