Hi. I found out that Automattic bought Tumblr from Verizon, so I figured it might be fun to come back. I actually self host a Wordpress as well and I was looking into Write Freely recently. No idea which one I’ll stick with in the end. At least it’s fun to see what’s happening here now.
How lovely to learn who this person is that we listen to and warned us to be safe on the subway. Voices that I hope we never let AI generation to replace.
HEY HEY LISTEN THE VOICE OF THE MTA TRANSIT SYSTEM, ALL THE ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THE NYC SUBWAY LINE??
SHE'S A TRANS WOMAN AND TRANSITIONED AT 66!!!!!! THE BACKGROUND HUM OF MY CHILDHOOD, AND SHE'S LIKE ME!!!! WHAT THE FUCK
Please remind your representatives for all parties to do their jobs. Don't let them sleep because the rest of us can't either.
It's August and I already dealt with the flu. I'm not looking forward to the school year starting in a few weeks because that means more germs exposure.
I feel worried and anxious about getting other people sick and about how much it feels like a disruption to life when getting sick. Almost nothing can be scheduled and all crowded events and venues are huge risks with sweaty palms and holding breaths to step through.
That did not used to be me before the pandemic. I feel a fear that I didn't have. Is this a form of PTSD? I want to be normal but it doesn't feel over. It weighs very heavy on me and daily life. I function, I go out, I mask when I think it's applicable but my heart is still unsettled.
Because the excuse to infodump about storytelling is the best thing in the world.....
Here's your excuse to infodump anything and everything, or something really specific and small, about your story :)
The story I worked on last was the most I got in a NaNoWriMo attempt, over 10k words! Sorry, this has taken a while to answer.
It's a space saga. I love Star Trek and spent the last year getting through the Orville. My story dreams up a world where space travel is a thing to the scale of Star Trek. I've got a main character finishing up her final year at the academy training school on a moon base. She's got friends and competition. This is one of the few times I thought of a cast instead of a main and supporting characters. It's a challenge to give multiple characters growth and story. I'm still working on it, but had to take a hiatus because of life. I would really love to self publish this one some day.
