Wow, yeah that is a little dated - last time I saw his name on anything was when we were at the Louisville location of his chain restaurant, right after the COVID lockdowns ended. Three years ago I think... The Hell's Kitchen guy seems to have taken over his position in the food media realm.

Think I do better with this stuff than with meaningful conversation (probably in real life and in writing...). But always nice to see other perspectives on it - thanks for sharing.

I turn over rocks. Usually ones I find in peoples' signature lines.

It opened. Won't get a chance to read it until later tonight or tomorrow though.

Story_Marc has a video on this subject in the Writing Tips area. May have to drill in a page or two to find it.

I used to know a lot about space but have forgotten most of it due to disuse over the decades. And there is ALWAYS room for improvement, for anyone. Always.

Oh, forgot one - but nobody would know it so... In "Strange Awakening," there's a reference to a band called Adversary. Several years ago, for NaNoWriMo, I wrote the story of Adversary. The second chapter included a flashback to when the band first met, and initially I tried to create a...

Never heard of it - but like real sports, I would probably only watch if I personally knew someone competing.

Detachable.

When I remember to, with a one sentence summary of the last chapter.

The chapter was good, clean. The synopsis is a bit clunky though.

Well, as soon as I get two more chapters written, I'll be posting book two in the series nobody wanted in the first place (Jack Diamond, Monster Hunter) as a separate file, but there is supposedly a way to link stories - haven't really looked for it so not sure where it is yet. On Royal Road, I...

I rarely worry about it myself - let them come up with their own pronunciations. Might be better than the ones I thought of...

Not exactly - the person or people ordering the murder are guilty of the most severe crime, pre-meditated (first degree) murder. The person actually committing the crime, unless they have an inept lawyer, will usually get off on the far less serious crime of manslaughter. Were they warned of...

Have not really done much (that did not directly refer to a plot point eventually) in any stories I have up here. One of the stories I have on Royal Road was a TV series (and has "section introductions" by the actor who starred in it) in a series of stories I wrote for an APA in the 90s, my...

Though in the real world, I usually set a trap at a bookstore, baited with a few dollars, and see what it catches. Usually in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy area, but not always.

Sounds like someone's gone Radio Gaga (which I saw used as a power name somewhere... think it was on one of the Runaways in the defunct Marvel: Avengers Alliance game, or maybe one of Star-Lord's moves)

You can flag chapters as well as the whole book I THINK. I know you can with NSFW stuff, and should be able to with gore - or use an Author's Note to warn the reader I guess.

I would post to RR first - otherwise you'll have to jump through hoops to get it to show up there. They're weird that way.

I've seen at least one short story like that, but never anything longer (or it was a section in a longer work where one or more characters were temporarily deaf). Though I suppose you could make a nice long story about a kid who is deaf, dumb and blind, but sure plays a mean pinball...
