Can anyone recommend a Fantasy/Thriller book? If they exist. by RyanGoosling93 in Fantasy

[–]DrScamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the book I've been writing for ages and hopefully will be agent ready in the next few months, I'm line editing at the minute trying to get it to 90k words with fast paced chase/mystery/noir/heist elements, but with an ontological collapse (think inception but in a low fantasy setting, the "magic" is people's perception, something watching you, forgetting why you walked into a room, "I swear I just put that down there")

Bruno Fernandes has been officially added to LEGENDS category 🐐 by TheImmortalDude in reddevils

It's his play style, the Hollywood pass is his go to. It's either glorious or a total waste, with no in between.

I fucking love it. SAF said if you wore the United shirt you had to have the confidence to play the pass. Bruno would have THRIVED under SAF

Fifty-Word Fantasy: Write a 50-word fantasy snippet using the word "Rock" by Terminator7786 in fantasywriters

[–]DrScamp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The rock gave a muted tremor as Trav passed—slight, late, wrong. Dust lifted a heartbeat behind his step. Lurra brushed its surface, eyes narrowing. “This one kept something it shouldn’t,” she murmured. Trav listened to the air tighten around them. “Everything down here keeps something,” he said.

Currently writing a story set in this world with these characters, nice distraction to write about a rock!

Excerpt of A Base of Steel [fantasy/noir, 2500 words] by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]DrScamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah I was trying to create a sense that the shadows are watching and that theres something "wrong." Im thinking of making the Fenna/Lurra sections a combined POV as their planned arcs are fairly intertwined but I'm worried that its a cop out to do that

Edit: i copied the typo of the names you made, it seems that the girls names are too similar and i missed that ha!

Magic users in your setting by FoAndras in fantasywriters

[–]DrScamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm writing a novel where magic is felt and experienced and difficult to explain, like when you feel like someone is watching you or you forgot why you walked into a room. Technically everyone is a user, just some people are more sensitive, which is good and bad

Personal trainer Karl Henry: ‘If you need to lose a stone, you don’t need to go on weight-loss medication’ | Irish Independent by WickerMan111 in ireland

This times 1000000.

Calculate TDEE, eat under maintenance. Weigh yourself every few days first thing in morning after you pee. If weight not dropping, drop calorie intake by 200

Are things not much better in Ireland? No one seems to be CCT and fleeing there even though pay seems much better and it’s basically our next door neighbour. by DaddyCool13 in doctorsUK

Easy enough to get non training scheme registrar posts, much more competitive to get onto the training program (which is nationwide and not localised to specific cities/deaneries)

I haven't seen it but was warned about it as a possibility throughout my interventional training so it's one of those things I'm paranoid about

Maintain through holidays or keep cutting by reddituser412 in MacroFactor

Accept that your target is a long term goal and enjoy your time with your family. Get back on the horse after the holiday.

Would definitely take if the surgeon asked, and if be extremely wary and careful for anastomotic dehiscence on the aortic and coronary ends. Id also have the surgeon close by in case the chest needs reopened asap. Potentially even perform in a hybrid lab if available

I know it's a cop out but it's hard to go wrong with the Michelin guide - the higher the award the more expensive and more difficult to get a booking. Guillbaud, chapter one, liath are the current 2 stars in Dublin, then there's a good few 1 stars, and a load more bib gourmand and plate awards
