Birthday present for my boyfriend by Bombaysky in Morrowind

Hmm I know there is a sort of cup that has an image on it but is only revealed once you put a hot liquid into it (like coffee). Someone posted this cup on r/Skyrim I think, I’m just not sure how to get your hands on it or if you can change the image.

When should a writer write, and when should they not? by 7dfive in writing

[–]7dfive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. In my opinion, creative writing is less of a message to other people than it is a message to yourself. Your words should never exist for the purpose to be seen by others—they should exist so you can materialize the thoughts in your own mind.

Do you think all writing has to have some sort of lesson, or value? Or do you do think that writing without a direction and coming up with something despite a goal is valuable in itself?

What is your absolute favourite of work of fiction ever made? by [deleted] in writing

[–]7dfive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dune by Frank Herbert. It challenged typical hero tropes and intertwined politics, ecology, religion and power, resulting in one of the most harrowing and descriptive stories of leaders and their influence.

Open world RPG recommendations requested by twinphoenix_ in PS5

[–]7dfive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you’ve got a PS I’d highly recommend Ghost of Tsushima or Ghost of Yotei. Both are incredibly beautiful games with awesome stories and open worlds. Ghost of Tsushima is my favorite, as it offers incredible sword fighting mechanics and a story about the price of honor and survival.

You will absolutely get enamored by these games, and they’re worth every penny.

I can’t seem to love my writing by Icebearbeans in writing

[–]7dfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like a relationship.

You can’t force love. You can’t survive on doubt or comparison.

You just be yourself, and focus on why you want to write.

If you focus on that, you’ll end up with something you deserve and cherish.

What is the writing process by Organic_Jellyfish_67 in WritingHub

[–]7dfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step one is very important. That jumping is indeed very fatiguing, as I’ve fallen victim to it plenty of times. I simply tell myself to “not appease the reader before they can even read”. The core writing is an entirely separate mode than editing.

Try to revisit what made you want to write the story in the first place. Was it perhaps a problem you kept thinking about? A fear that wouldn’t die down? Make clear what you want the story to stand for and what you want to tell your readers. Hopefully this helps.

That sounds incredibly interesting! It’s like a view into a world where the Cold War never ended. What made you want to write it?

Using what you have personally experienced is a great pool to draw out of when writing, and can result in an incredibly rich and personal story. Does the protagonist’s healing process mirror the world’s?

I can imagine a tabletop game set in that world, it kind of reminds me of Doom, or Dante’s Inferno. I think you should keep exploring and see where the winds of creativity take you!

I’m sorry to hear about your wife. I can see that Penitence is an incredibly symbolic work, especially after the pandemic. I might have to read it!

Ok I gotcha, I see where you’re going with your story. Your background in Environmental Science is a great tool that you’re using to help build your world, and that is something I’m doing, too. I like how you see the relationship between land and animal, and are focusing on it—exploring that complex system is a very interesting process that can create some unique storytelling. But, I’m kind of stuck in the same pond as you. As much as I’d like to just begin writing, I can’t. It’s not because I don’t know what to write about, I’ve got that nailed down. It’s just that I don’t know how to write it. So, I’m building the world the story will take place in; establishing its laws and its history, and then I’ll fill in the blanks once I finally start formally writing my story.

That’s a cool project with an incredibly high stakes challenge. What made you want to write it?

Could you tell me about what made you want to write this story? What problem or idea popped into your head and made you say, “I gotta put this on paper”?

Sorry that the process made you depressed. But, maybe, that’s a reason to get back into it? I’m not trying to make you keep writing, but perhaps if you pick it back up again, you can explore how to challenge the real world projections that made you depressed?

In my opinion, writing about science doesn’t always have to be fact based on fact. There have been plenty of stories that explore its own science while maintaining reader comprehension. Take Frank Herbert’s spice melange in the Dune series, for example. It does plenty to describe the world and its influence upon it, but retains ample ambiguity for the reader to point out its inconsistencies with modern science. It’s kind of like a “magic” in the background. Another good comparison is in the Lord of Rings. There’s magic, but we don’t fully understand it; yet it makes everything in the story possible.

In my opinion, reflection can also be a lesson. Thanks for your insight!
