New Year's Resolution
My New Year's Resolution is to post one story every month.
The stories I post are very short, sometimes less than 200 words and never more than 4000 words. I feel like I should be able to post at least one short story a month, especially considering I have a bunch of drafts that I never finished.
(Note: In taking on this challenge, I managed to write a story which has over 4000 words.)
GOALS:
- Write twelve stories total in 2024 (4/12)
- Always write a story every thirty days
- Jan 6 -> Feb 4: 29 days (SAFE)
- Feb 4 -> Mar 5: 30 days (SAFE)
- Mar 5 -> Apr 3: 29 days (SAFE)
- Always write a story every month
- January SAFE
- February SAFE
- March SAFE
- April SAFE
- 1 Punishment Conditions
- 2 Progress
- 2.1 January
- 2.2 February
- 2.3 March
- 2.4 April
- 3 Story Title (Description)
- 3.1 I Don't Know H…
Weird Google Thing
I've made a habit of not using Google recently, because I'm kind of a superstitious person and I don't like the idea that they can track me. I use Ecosia most of the time, even though that site also records your search history (this is their pitch).
I didn't think there was any real reason for eschewing Google, but today something weird happened.
I edit the Spinpasta Wiki often. Today I found a story called "The Sad Loud House" credited to "JMFStudios". Note: it's J M F, not J F M. This will become important later.
There's no link, so I decide to put one there. I look at whether there's a JMFStudios on Spinpasta and there isn't. Then I search that person on Ecosia. I find a guy, and he's an artist, but he doesn't look like the kind of person …
Did You Know EmmanC.?
Hey, have you read Etherbot's latest post? I've got to admit the guy's been working really hard to lift people up without anybody looking at smaller authors. I'd like to start.
So I admit that I have different priorities in mind with these showcases. I probably won't talk about people who make really good stories, instead deciding to focus on people who get no traction because they don't make any stories so awful that they get marked for review (which, you have to admit, is how people sometimes get reviews). Why help when they seem to have basic writing all figured out?
That said, allow me to present EmmanC., a user's who's written two works, but who seems to lack criticism. They say on their first story "I do think it can use some improveme…
Best Quotes From Creepypastas
Yeah, this should have been a discussion post instead. I'm sorry for posting this here.
Klingon as an Altlang
This is kind of a question to everyone.
How would Klingon work as an altlang? What would the abbreviation at the top be (KL or TLH)? Would anyone write using Klingon? Should the translation sound better or be more true to the words? (Or do any of these things matter?)
Also, any other questions of that nature will be able to have a place now.
