    Who are the active users on the forums from your POV?

    Who are the people always active when you are active? I see L1aei a lot. at first, without my reading glasses? I thought his avatar was darth vader. Which accounts left an impression and shaped your experience of this forum? Eldoria was my first. (wait, that didn't sound good) but she was. I...

    i tried to go outside and "touch grass" i looked like a deer. Kicking and scratching in the snow, to reach the barren cold sterile dead thatch that was all that was left of it. I thought going out to touch grass was supposed to make me feel better. instead, it became a symbol of what its like to...

    How to write synopsis?

    I don't like the word 'synopsis'. too much like an english class term. I prefer the classic word... BLURB. its a book blurb. Its the thing that either generates interest? or not. it works or it don't. get one you really like, in your genre, and see about imitating/converting it to your story...

    How to write synopsis?

    "and once again? the oracle, has spoken." what university do you teach creative writing at again? mother of all that's holy. I feel as if I can *write*, but you're the technical expertise, that would guide me. if I kidnap you, can I make you my agent/editor? that wouldn't be too cringe, would...

    Rising panic?

    everyone watched the movie, but the book was better. Peter Benchley, JAWS. all readers said the same thing. holy shit. this guy, spends like seven or more pages on just a couple seconds of attack. it starts *before* the attack. a slight feeling something is amiss, but you dismiss it. ah, I'm...

    What's your opinion on giving constructive feedback for folks who do generate AI slop?

    you're right. or should I say... you're 'write'? *giggle* seriously though. i think most writers can "write". some or more. or they wouldn't think they can try it. they need something to guide them, something to imitate. We didn't have AI when I was starting out, now they do. they get to see...

    What makes your fiction unique?

    perhaps its best if I give an example of IRL. I get a lot of "eh? weird take" on things. Example. When Columbine massacre happened I was out the truck stop for my regular coffee all night time, and it was *the* buzz of conversation. Everyone knew the basic plot line. two kids were picked on by...

    how to attract viewers on scribble hub ?

    they have limits. I had a novel nuked on wattpad, because they said "no explicit sex its in the terms of service so book X was nuked" is ao3 the one where "anything goes"? (asking for a friend, lol) are hashtags... tags? or is that something else.

    look. being objective, here's one aspect of this. the old saw "whose ox is being gored" always applies and will never fail to apply. when its (you) being let go or losing, its heart wrenching and a crisis. to anyone not affected? not so much. there was a time 15 and more years ago. People were...

    what I do, is I touch myself in an impure manner. see that way, I'm taking it out in trade. sort of. pro tip: sit on your hand on a hard chair for a half an hour. it goes numb. then it feels like someone else's hand. which is wayyy better. or, so I heard. its called, the stranger. (i think of...

    I prefer the term... doppleganger. Because first off, it sounds all pretentious and shit. But really, its because a young drew barrymore showed some *skin* in a c-grade sci-fi during her "drugs and alcohol" period before her big comeback. That movie? Was named "doppleganger".

    I thought you liked it when someone toasts your nuts with a holy candle while reading relevant bible passages. You told me, in a tender moment, that's cause its how your mom (slightly religious) taught you not to do "the bad thing" in the bathroom. "And a man's seed? Shall not strike the...

    sorry I'm a writer and images pop into my head, and they're vivid. I realize you likely meant "gird your loins" but when you wrote it "grind your loins", well... I had a bizarre image of a workflow day in that professional studio. LMAO. lol, even. Then before I could get my chuckles under...

    What's your opinion on giving constructive feedback for folks who do generate AI slop?

    you like how I know how to do damage control and kiss ass? Got my technique all down and everything. Grasp the hips firmly and *smooch* wait, that didn't sound good. I forgot I was on the internet, LMAO.

    I'm outta here. This is a religion/politics argument brewing. Fight nice, kids. Full contact axe fighting outside, wake me up for the meltie flame war. I'll make popcorn and be entertained.

    perhaps you missed the point that I know that, LMAO. You notice, I'm *here*, not *there*. This forum is the best kept open secret in the WN world.

    oh, cool. I got several covers for you to get right on. I have AI you can use as a reference. Make it awesome and not bland. And? I want what I want. Not... your interpretation of what you *see*, having never read the book and just talked with me over coffee about it. I mean, if you;re great and...

    My neighbor has scads of "Snap on" wrenches, sockets, 4-ways, special bits and holders, you name it. And is it the best? Sure. But the *cost* will make you faint. Now he's a professional mechanic, he needs that. Me, as a home mechanic? I need my wrench set like four times a year. I have all the...
