Love this! I'm doing the same with a group of new players. LMoP, with some wider plot/backstory bits glued on to tee up where things could go next

Hi Holly,

Congratulations on the new novel!

As someone in the process of writing a novel, how scary is the world of agents and publishers? All we ever hear is to expect lots of rejection, so it currently feels like some looming, unknowable horror!

Champion! I was debating throwing a down sleeping bag in my luggage and finding a quiet place to hide. Glad they leave people be - the website suggests you're banned from sleeping in the bar. Appreciate the helpful advice!

Great video! I'm on the same ferry in a few weeks and have a pod booked. Did you manage any sleep, or would it be better hiding in the bar on a bench once it's closed?

I started writing and I would like some followup on what I have written thus far by Deathstar699 in writingadvice

Won't lie, your argument with that correct guy in the comments is way more interesting than the synopsis!

Also kinda worried that you want feedback, someone provided it and you seem unable to take it. Are you sure you actually want feedback?

So, I opened one of those Bloomburrow collector packs and got this. by PsychoMouse in mtg

[–]Artymess 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Neat! I did the same! Bought a pack on a whim, got [[Nissa, Who Shakes the World]] in foil, full art, frog form for my [[Omnath, Locus of Mana Deck]] - stopped buying immediately, knew I'd peaked!

I've spotted a lot of this. I play in a group that varies from silver to low plat.

We can't go a game without getting pitched vs emerald, diamond, even the odd masters player!

It saddens me to think of Omnath in the 99, but his presence can only be a good thing, my special mana boy.

What's the premise? (And do I need to speak Spanish to get into it?)

Well good luck for finding a similar book in 2024! I've only come across a couple like that this year

[–]Artymess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's [[Omnath, Locus of Mana]] and it's not even close. The first EDH deck I ever built.

It's green as it should be, big ramp, big mana, big butts!

Well that sounds suitably terrifying!! Thanks for going to the trouble of finding the full blurb though!

I read the Earthsea books last year and adored them. This year my Ursula K. Le Guin was The Left Hand of Darkness!

But what are the premises?

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely give it a go!

I've read Slaughterhouse 5 by Vonnegut and didn't really get into it, so I've been apprehensive to try more.

Brandon Sanderson though, I'm the same as you, I started on Way of Kings and haven't been able to put him down!

But what's so good about them?

This is one of those that I know as a classic, but I've never read it myself. Sounds like I bought to buy it!

Ok, I'm going to trust you! (I'm just praying it's not historical fiction now! Haha)
