Went to a Paul Kidby / Discworld Art exhibit (mainly as a fan but also for inspiration). Loved it. Bought these little buggers.

Still a first draft so very messy but in a nutshell; few locations central to the story. Parataxis City - Greek based. Hypotaxis City - Roman based.
The Anaphora (Desert) - Egyptian based.
I will probably leave it as just those for this one. There's other places named but just in mention

'Sort of'. Lol. I've incorporated greek mythology for a particular city location in the story with an opening to explore other mythologies in further stories. Quite a bit of narrative causality involved (i'm a Pratchett fan)

I'm still fairly new to writing so I have to fight the urge to put up that wall that's like 'No no no. My ego. Cannot allow others to steal ideas!'

Constantly have to remind myself that every story has been told and it's the voice that matters

First draft. First serious attempt at writing a novel. No idea what I'm doing outside of a love and appreciation for reading and English Lit (the subject). I think its a cosy fantasy / satire. #WIPsnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #fantasy #satire #comedy

It's increasingly more frustrating nowadays - anytime you attempt to express a concern or start a dialogue; random strangers appear and just invalidate you as if that's normal, acceptable behaviour

Go ahead and express yourself in your own vid, mate. Don't feel like you have to apologise for it

Immediately second-guessed myself and worried you'd misinterpret that joke so I'll add...

Be a good tagline for a Warcraft Dating App: 'Find Someone that describes your junk as Mythic Plus'

I think his asshole-ishness will play really well opposite (hopefully) boyscout Superman. Plus he has a bowlcut

People will often bring up how he got knocked out in one punch by Batman but he became a Red Lantern in New 52 and was weirdly cool for a bit. Plus he has a bowlcut

Also Bowlcut

For me; the worst thing about 'true' narcissists is that they can know you are a person with low self-esteem that internalises and has struggled with major mental health dips and they STILL gaslight you into utter self destruction

For lack of a better word; that's evil

...But then, not gonna lie, it's not the worst thing in the world if people who start every sentence with "ACKCHUALLY..." stopped being a thing

I can't help but worry that the 'disagree bots' are part of some weird ongoing plot that ends with us all thinking everyone is a bot

"Sorry 'obnoxious contrarians with eclectic interests'; everyone thinks you're a bot now"

I'm not an expert on Vtubers but according to Reddit (that's right; i did research for you!)... If you're particularly fond of that name - Just spell it differently.

That should cover you just in case there's someone else out there already using it. Maybe you could call them... Ban'omalies ๐Ÿ˜‚

A lot of our food is just stodge. It's either meat and two veg or "just put beans on it"

Ironically - I was labeled a fussy eater as a kid because I didn't like fish fingers or baked beans

I think we deserve more credit for our puddings / desserts though

I kinda damaged my hearing listening to and playing live metal music when I was younger so I just don't even hear that stuff anymore. I mean I'd probably notice yardwork but... surely ppl aren't gonna send you recordings with a full-blown lawnmower going in the background?!

Might be misunderstanding & I'm no sound technician but... what you could do is ask ppl to send you raw audio & then treat it in Audacity yourself to somewhat match it all(?) That's what I would attempt to do, I think. Though I literally voice every character so I dunno what I'm talking about

Yeah that's a good shout. I'm excited to see how far they take it. Knowing nothing about game development; I am imagining streets. You'll have neighbours (and you hate them). You can sit on your stoop like a really cool person

That's the messy, complicated part isn't it? I don't envy them - Do they make player housing purely cosmetic? Or do they allow players to unlock things for their house like a Mailbox... and an Auction House...

All jokes aside; it's a great story. Metzen did a brilliant job narrating it. And I really wish I didn't have some weird compulsion to make jokes that I immediately feel bad about making

My grandfather was (kind of) a spy too! But cold war era. Something to do with Able Archer. He was in The Household Cavalry til his late 20s. Then he took off that stupid hat and went to GCHQ

Probably not supposed to just blurt this stuff out but whatevs
