My last WIP I had to fix a lot when I omitted the word 'thunder' and 'lightning' from the culture's lexicon…only to find myself overusing 'he thundered' or 'the thundering sound' in the initial draft.

Whoops.

Good luck. I'm still stumbling with this new culture and the various words I've taken for granted.

(These guys don't have the concept of metal, which makes describing shackles difficult)

This last week we had to do a thing that hovered over us for months, draining our energy and headspace for all that time.

It is coming to a conclusion, after being delayed and pushed back time and time again.

Things might go well for us, but damn am I tired.

That said, it got me writing a book...

I love how we call a group of ferrets a business.

That's cool, but that may be too advanced for what I'm going for. But take that somewhere cool, and I'll def read it!

I mean, theyre not the galaxy crossing types, but being music based is pretty much on the mark.

Being a people where private property is also not a thing helps. Sharing and caring is the game. Greed leads to death

It's mostly cute ghostly stuff...until you find the Ghost baby.

And the graveyard out back.

And then the power goes out.

How shall I torture myself today?

Oh, I KNOW! I'll make an alien species with no concept of math…then force myself to adjust my way of speaking to omit any number based language. Double the fun.

oh wait, I think that disqualifies the word 'double'.

While I will hold my head high and say my introduction to Frankenstein was the Bernie Wrightson illustrated edition………there's also a 50/50 chance it could've also been an episode of that Nelvana Roseanne Barr cartoon.

Dutch tv didn't offer much back then...

Gail, now you're just making stuff up.

I mean, 'pickle'? What even is that?

Okay, maaaaaaaybe I say this because I'm a huge wuss with anxiety, but I was legitimately spooked out by the OG Luigi's Mansion at times.
(And yes, we do play the music for halloween in our household).

Chris here. One door closes and another swings open. New things are happening at House Gutierrez. In one day we lost a plan and then gained a new much better one. Let's move some bundles! tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com Let's keep us housed. Got a good chance at a way out before 2026.

Dang, managed to make it to 1k words anyway. Shall we try the 1k a day again? Knock a novel out in 100 days?

Sale of my short story collections is still going strong. Rage from a Cage was released just this year, and features imho some of my best works!

The other two, All Through the House and Soft Reboot are pretty fun as well!

My very first shiny, I was in this cave where I was escorting this guy, so all fights were double battles and there was NO WAY the guy was gonna let that green Golbat live.

I had to knock his Pokemon out before he got the chance.

Caught me that Golbat.
