Finished my 3rd and 4th drafts of my book, essentially different versions I updated a few parts that didn't work and one has one character cut out completely, to see how the story flows. I think my next step is seeing how those changes affect everything by reading them back to back.

I feel like I'm not too far off from sending it to publishers, but the only critique I have so far is that "so far it's good" 10 pages in.

Work will resume on Monday +/-, not much by the other wizards and programmers on the weekends. :(

This may take me years to figure out.

The new change is gonna take some getting used to, but we as humans always adapt, sooner or later.

UB's avatar is hilarious.

I hope you all are doing well!

What's up with the smilies? Most of them aren't functioning. :confused:

Welp, no surprise there. I may not be too proud of this, but it turned out right, so maybe I am. Not sure if I mentioned this in the last 7 months, but my step-brother (the crack addict, dead grandfather identity stealing, grandmother credit card stealing one) moved back in for....reasons I still don't know and it of course sucked. Recently he's been more of a little sh*t than normal (he flooded the bathroom by taking too long in the shower, don't ask I don't know how you can miss 2 inches of water on the floor) so I went snooping and found drugs. A nice white powder right next to a straw on a tin and some small, clear crystals in a baggy right under it.

With that I now have to formulate a way to tell my step-dad about this to best my chances of kicking him out, 'cause I'm not doing this again with the drug use and the other bullshit he pulled last time. I doubt he will though, he always finds a way to make excuses for his son.


Other than that book is going as good as it can. Rereading the 3rd and 4th draft to compare them. Found a site that not only reviews (first 10k words), but may also help with publishing if it's good enough . I think once I'm done comparing and seeing which version is better I'll run it through the grammarly program and then focus on those first 10k words and see what I can do when it comes to publishing or getting folks to review it.

Allowing yourself to meditate while in a natural setting can allow you to pick up on things you'd ordinarily miss.

I try not to mediate, because of that fact. Lol

I don't disagree, but I can't agree either. Many apartments I'd be dealing with similar things (noise, smells, drugs, neighbors, etc.) like I am here. Where I am now is in the perfect spot to be reaching whatever I may need (groceries, hospital, movie theater, etc) with practically all of it being within walking/cycling/bus distance. I also loathe moving, whether it's good or bad for me I'd hate it.

Honestly, I don't foresee me living alone to be good thing.

I'm visually impaired and half deaf so there really is something to enhanced senses. I have a heightened sense of smell where I notice odors before anyone else does.
