    What is the temperature of thought?

    Oooo... I like that: Depth and Impression. Thanks. I'm working out the metaphysical science of memes as a motive force. I worked out my periodic table of thought based on 18th-century knot classification. Since the individual metatrons of memetic energy resemble a molecule of water, I was...

    As an author, have you ever experienced this?

    I reread my stuff all the time. I find it quite enjoyable. I do, from time to time, find a word here or there where I go, "Ehhh... I used that too many times." then I make a minor correction, but that's about it.

    What is the temperature of thought?

    Help me out here. I need a way to describe the temperature of thought itself. Assuming that thought is something that just sort of drifts around. But it is not matter nor energy. It is just THOUGHT. Like a platonic ideal in a metaphysical plane. So, given a blob of thought, how would you...

    Compiling My Thoughts On My Magic System

    The cosmos is finite, but very old. In fact, it is in the twilight years. Maybe a few million years left. The heart's blood of the universe is drying up and like fish stuck in an ever shrinking pond, the survivors are fighting tooth and nail to be the last ones in the puddle. So it has been...

    Compiling My Thoughts On My Magic System

    All of them. I'm working on a 21 volume epic and I need to know this stuff so I can handle cross dimensional interactions without sounding like I'm just making up shit on the fly.

    Compiling My Thoughts On My Magic System

    What makes you think I'm ignoring it? By creating it, I can extrapolate into other areas to determine what should happen. Furthermore, I don't see it as being any more ridged that hero system. Are elements too rigid? The periodic table too restrictive for you? Are there not enough chemical...

    Compiling My Thoughts On My Magic System

    So, I've been trying to get this worked out in more detail, get down to the nitty-gritty, and I want to put it all in one spot. You can most likely skip over this part. Now that the basics are out of the way. Okay. The important part Types of Mana One of the problems I was...

    I need advice

    START AT THE END. You need to know what the ending of a plotline is, At least the final gut punch you plan for the reader to have. You can have an epilogue afterward, but you need that final scene in your head at least. Just writing because "I have a cool idea." Doesn't work. You need to know...

    Writing Writing Speed Fast at the Start, but Keeps Slowing Down?

    This is why I start at the end, and then work my way backward in leaps. One book has 3 acts. Total of Six plotlines, each plotline has a beginning, middle, and end. that's 18 key scenes. Write the good parts first, then all you have to do is go back and make the connective tissue. Much easier...

    I HAVE NO TRASHCAN, BUT I MUST SCREAM

    Actually, that was because the Mob took over the Trash Business. It worked well until the FBI managed to break it up and arrest the criminals involved in the "corpse disposal" business. After everyone got arrested, the quality of Trash collection absolutely tanked. Met the guy who spear-headed...

    I HAVE NO TRASHCAN, BUT I MUST SCREAM

    You'd think that. Especially since the DA2 called in for the rest of the month.

    Mortals(And non mortals), I need your ideas.

    You need someone? Okay. https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/i-have-no-trashcan-but-i-must-scream.17658/ Base a character on the man who made this mess. That man will have no redeeming qualities.

    I HAVE NO TRASHCAN, BUT I MUST SCREAM

    I work for NYS in a many letter agency. It runs group homes. I work Upstate. About 5 years ago, some moron working in a different division at a group home found one of the industrial trashcans was broken, so he called the trash company and requested a replacement. They asked: "How many you...

    Well, if you are just looking for a framework to work with, you could do worse. Although, Hero system would be a good choice as well. After all, a "Power framework" based on Shadows is just special effect, isn't it?

    Too Much Heavy Foreshadowing

    I do aftshadowing. When you get to the end, everything is different and you go, "Ohhhhhhhhh..." Then you want to reread the book because everything is cast into a new light.
