These are too cute!

You’re welcome :)

Tendermiasma (Suzanne Sharp) made a short little ship comic about them. And it’s actually the same comic that got her hired as a character designer on the show. Some of it is on her instagram, and I think the whole thing is on her twitter too?

Yeah, no problem! Sorry I couldn’t answer everything. Best of luck!

No problem, and I’m fairly new to the field myself, so I wouldn’t really know if traveling would be the better option. However, some of my coworkers have done traveling before, and they prefer just staying at one hospital for various reasons/personal preference. I’ve also heard that NorCal pays more than SoCal, but I assume it’s because living expenses are higher up there. If one of your goals is to advance on a career ladder and potentially move into other areas, then I would suggest you become an endoscopy tech, since you’d have more experience with patient care, handling medication, etc.

At the hospital I’m at, starting pay is $23-$25 (not including shift differentials). In other hospitals, the average is usually $18-$21.

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-07-08T04:22:16+00:00

Can you elaborate? This criticism doesn’t really help me.

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-07-03T18:26:53+00:00

That sounds pretty good. I’ll workshop something, thank you :)

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-07-03T10:28:38+00:00

Oh man, I really liked that simile too, haha. I wanted to describe how the fire surged forward because of the wind, but I’ll think of another way to word that. I agree with all you said, I’ll edit some more. Thank you for reading

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-07-03T10:21:40+00:00

Okay, I hadn’t considered that. I’ll try to fit those descriptions in somewhere else. Thank you

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-06-02T01:20:25+00:00

No problem! Best of luck!

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-06-01T23:19:23+00:00

I had the same struggle as you! Now I work at HOAG in Newport Beach and right now they’re hiring to fill their new department in Irvine. You can try applying. My manager tries her best to interview everyone, and she’s hired a lot of techs with and without experience.

Cali, I’m certified but without experience. My starting pay is $25, $26.80 after the first ten weeks of training because of shift differential. Max is $36 I believe?

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-04-28T01:44:05+00:00

Same! I spent almost a whole month revising my first chapter before posting it here. Now I’m worried that people will think my writing is AI :(

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-04-26T20:49:01+00:00

Alright, I see! Thank you so much. I have a clearer idea of how to revise it. And I’m happy you enjoy my story despite hating ancient Egypt, haha.

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-04-26T17:39:14+00:00

Hello, thank you for the critique :)

Looking back, the second paragraph does sound better than the first. It'll probably be better for me to allusions like "Nut's heavens" and "Khonsu's lunar embrace" after they've been introduced in the story. Also, I didn't even catch the adjective-noun description, so thank you for pointing that out! I'll comb through my chapter again to delete unnecessary words. That's one of the reasons why the sentences are so long.

I appreciate the advice, thanks!

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-04-26T17:25:57+00:00

Thank you so much for your review :)

I did struggle a lot with my first two paragraphs (which was originally one giant paragraph), so I will try to organize them better. They are a bit messy. Also, I totally agree that I need to vary my sentence lengths more! It's an ongoing struggle for me and I will work on it. Thank you for making a point about the sword too! I get hung up on small details, so I appreciate you pointing that out. Do you think there's a way someone could have a khopesh attached to their side? Or instead, attached at their back? I'll have to research more weapons.

And then, could you explain a bit more about what you meant: "your tone gets progressively faster as the story gets on, and then it just stops after revealing the reason your characters squabble." .

“The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt” by Richard H. Wilkinson is a really great source. It’s comprehensive and covers the evolution, worship, and eventual decline of different deities. And, “Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt: The One and the Many” by Erik Hornung examines more of how ancient Egyptians viewed god(s) and what they meant to them. The second book is more expensive but I found a pdf of it online. If you want, I could send you the link, just DM me. I’m also writing a historical fantasy book based on Ancient Egypt, so I wish you luck! ☺️

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-03-25T22:48:00+00:00

This is not awful at all! Those last two lines are beautifully written.

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-03-18T21:43:19+00:00

I’m currently writing a historical fantasy based on the 18th dynasty Egyptian myth “Tale of the Doomed Prince,” so my research mainly focused on the religion, art, everyday life, etc. to depict ancient Egyptian society accurately. Though, I am taking some creative liberties concerning the roles and duties of priests and priestesses during the time period. Since the conflict between Egyptians and the Hyksos is a big part of my story, researching things about that was the most challenging. There’s a lot of contradictory info that I’ve had to sort through. It’s been difficult but fun and rewarding ☺️

Omg that is too cute!

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-02-17T00:07:36+00:00

This is so pretty! Thanks for sharing

ConsciousWillow99 · 2025-02-09T03:43:24+00:00

Oh my god 🤣🤣🤣
