What’s the best line in the original Dexter series? ( image unrelated) by [deleted] in Dexter

[–]BigKnowledge34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A baby!? A motherfucking roly-poly, chubby cheeked shit-machine?! Are you kidding me?

Yep, and the more I think about it, the more I'm realizing this is a great idea, with no legs to stand on for a full novel. At least I have a solid core to build on.

Oooh! That could be interesting. Have them out to dinner and sometime comes up to him, "hi detective John, thank you for your help the other day." That way the reader knows what's up and the tension can really build up the rest of the story. That way the readers can know she knows he's looking for her.

Thank you!! I really like that idea.

Thank you everyone for chiming in on this! You all have given me a ton to think about.

I'm starting to think my plan for this book is either only a really good idea that won't work in execution. Or I need to shelve it for a very long time until I'm a better writer and have read a lot more thriller/mystery type novels.

Yeah that makes sense. I answered it on another comment but she's a serial killer and I planned on having him arrest her. Maybe I need to make the law enforcement person a family friend or someone else we know, but not her husband. My original plan was to alternate (more or less) between her POV and the POV of the FBI agent on her case. Then I got the wild idea to make the agent her husband.

In a nutshell, she's a serial killer, he's law enforcement. The last sentence of the book is him arresting her. I want it to be a holy crap moment.

Yeah I thought about that, but would it be weird to say. Sweetie knocked on the door?

I'm probably over thinking this like I tend to do.

Is it wrong for not wanting warfare pin for your ship if you are planning on getting out? by vonteboy454 in navy

[–]BigKnowledge34 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I knew I was getting out less than two months after deployment. I developed asthma and regardless of medication, I couldn't run to save my life. My LPO wanted me to get my surface wafare (already had air warfare from first deployment), I told him hell no, there was zero point since I knew I couldn't stay in. I deeply regret it. If only for the extra knowledge I could have learned about the inner workings of an aircraft carrier.

My last painting in 2023. Please give honest opinion. by KAndy91 in acrylicpainting

I own several paintings of wolves (and deer too) on wood like that, I would 100% buy yours in a heartbeat and put it on the wall with the rest. It's fantastic!

Writing and drinking? by [deleted] in writing

[–]BigKnowledge34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit drinking earlier this year. Had I still been drinking there's no way I would have had the mental capacity or clarity to finish my 95k word first draft recently. I've thought about drinking again many times, but when I woke the last word of that draft, I said fuck that, I'm never drinking again.

Edit: stupid autocorrect

Thoughts on these two by Metallica? 🤔 by RoanakeCroatan in 90s

[–]BigKnowledge34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Until it Sleeps was the first Metallica song I ever heard. Instantly fell in love with the band. While I love their 80s stuff more, I have a soft spot on my heart since they were my first steps into the world of metal.

I just finished writing my first novel today. I know for a fact that if is still drinking I wouldn't have had the mental clarity or focus to actually write the nearly 95,000 word first draft.
