If there's a better way I'm listening 😂

Person: how does writing work? Writer: well you type & you delete. You rethink. Then you do 187 min of research & correct it. You reread & wonder if you have a grasp of English. Then you revise Person: then you're done with the book? Writer: then you move to the next sentence

If there's a better way I'm listening 😂

Now I want Eldritch Horror, I want to glimpse the infinite complexity that will turn to madness

by
Post by bramblesand People, especially games, get eldritch madness wrong a lot and it’s really such a shame. An ant doesn't start babbling when they see a circuit board. They find it strange, to them it is a landscape of strange angles and humming monoliths. They may be scared, but that is not madness. Madness comes when the ant, for a moment, can see as a human does. It understands those markings are words, symbols with meaning, like a pheromone but infinitely more complex. It can travel unimaginable distances, to lands unlike anything it has seen before. It knows of mirth, embarrassment, love, concepts unimaginable before this moment, and then... It's an ant again. Echoes of things it cannot comprehend swirl around its mind. It cannot make use of this knowledge, but it still remembers. How is it supposed to return to its life? The more the ant saw the harder it is for it to forget. It needs to see it again, understand again. It will do anything to show others, to show itself, nothing else in this tiny world matters. This is madness.

Now I want Eldritch Horror, I want to glimpse the infinite complexity that will turn to madness... As long as I don't have to get of the couch and put on pants 😂

With apologies to all the poetry lovers out there, but

by
Post by LilJonson I have bad anxiety and one point I got prescribed Xanax. Without the anxiety, all of a sudden I felt like a different person. I was doing things I never did, like I started writing poetry. thats when I got off the meds because I'd rather have crippling anxiety than write poetry.

With apologies to all the poetry lovers out there, but... 😂

[Microblog] “I must not grammar

by
Four panel meme frim the Dune movie where Paul is being tested with pain. 1: Remove the hand from the box and you will die. 2: What's in the box? 3: A misspelled word in your published book. 4: *Paul clutching his hand and crying*

“I must not grammar. Grammar is the mind-killer. Grammar is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my grammar." 😂
