YAAAYYYY, WE ARE BACK!!!!!!

What do you mean, "for now"?

***Earniel*** · 12-01-2015, 08:59 PM

Well, if I know my tech right then what happened last month can also happen this month if our bandwidth keeps getting used up at the same rate. Hence the 'for now'.

Heh, sounds like it has at least one fan already.

One writer once compared garbage writing to manure, okay, it still means it's basically crap, but use it right, let it compost and beautiful things can grow out it later on. It was kinda obvious she was a gardner

but there's something to say for it.

That's an interesting way to put it.

I don't even want to look at it right now lol I'll probably go back later and see if I can save it or add to it, but I got my 4th NaNo "win" with that crap lol

***Earniel*** · 12-02-2015, 07:30 AM

Your fourth completed NaNo? That's not shabby. Congratulations!

But yeah, usually when I write a first draft, I have to let it lie a long period too before I want to continue.

Thanks

I still haven't picked up the NaNo novel I wrote 2 years ago to edit. That one has a plot hole that can be a character lol

***Earniel*** · 12-05-2015, 10:16 AM

That would be a novelty, though, having an actual plot hole as a character. You might be on the cusp of a new literary revolution!

I've joined a Secret Santa story-swap on another board. I haven't written in ages, not even RPG-posts. I expct I'm going to be so very rusty. Let's hope writing is like riding a bicycle and is something you don't really un-learn, but I'm thinking not...

Well, in ancient Buddhist art, it was considered blasphemous to portray the Buddha so he was just an absense - an abandoned-looking ship for instance.

In psychological tests, they make you look for what's not there in the pictures. IT's actually harder than you'd think!

Good to see this place is still humming along... most of the other chat-spots I vist at dusty and have resonant echoes about them.

You forgot another important piece of the decoration, Val: Santa Treebeard! I'll get his costume out of the locker at the mod's forum.

Good to see you, Mr.Bish! Been a while, hasnt it?

***Valandil*** · 12-15-2015, 09:19 AM

Twelve inches of snow in Casper, since it started yesterday afternoon. And it's still coming down this morning!

Get me something nice and warm. And a big bowl of hot soup to go with it!

A seat by the fire, a warm blanket...
