Wild fish or fish in a tank? I think a thunderstorm from a wild fish's POV would be amazing.

That moment when you realize the only way to make your story work is to completely rewrite the main character and change everything about her, even though you're already 30K in. #writingcommunity

How much writing did I get done over the weekend?

Before I answer that, I need to explain I really needed to clean my entire house and wash every piece of clothing I own, you guys.

The prominent feedback button leads me to believe they are collecting negative feedback on this stunt to help bolster the idea the department should be shut down entirely because the questions are about site/services not this utter nonsense.

How spicy are they? These look like they would be, but that means nothing versus that cruel monster reality

This house is on drugs.

My short story is desperately trying to turn itself into a novel. I feel like the hapless security guard in a heist movie who just realized the cameras are all on loop.

Also, congrats :)

Looking at houses on Zillow, as one does, I found a great one on Seattle Avenue in Bay City, Oregon, which sounds like an address made up by an author who has never set foot in the Pacific Northwest ๐Ÿ˜‚

100%, and it was way too on the nose even for that first use, but I didn't catch that until my second go though

I felt like that when I realized in the Star Trek reboot, when young Kirk drives the car off a cliff, Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" is playing because he's sabotaging his future ๐Ÿ˜†

Super cute! There are videos like 'dark forest at night ambience' to play in the background and thunderstorm scented candles. Make it a whole thing!

Not everyone will love your book. Not everyone will think it's amazing. They'll be wrong, of course. Assholes.

Looking for help! Sci-fi story set in near future Earth, vague cyberpunk vibes.

Should it be: phone, cell, device, something else? They use them constantly.

Last night's idea involved a magic tower, a stand-up comic, and something about a ghost road? #writingcommunity

There are people who know their neighbors.

Those who don't.

And those who construct elaborate stories, based on very little, that take root and grow into legends.

Sometimes I wonder which the lady next door, who runs a cult and is having affairs with at least 3 FedEx guys, is.
