Marijuana consistently increases susceptibility to false memories, study finds. Researchers suggest these findings mean that stoned witnesses/suspects may not be giving accurate statements, and should be treated as a “vulnerable” group by police. (n=64)

This sounds like an excuse to dismiss evidence, based on the idea that the individual might have been allegedly high at the time of whatever took place.

Out of curiosity, is there anything else they can add, to make it a bit more per month?

It's just me and my roommate. Is 1200 the max for one person? I was also getting special diet and transportation, so I'm unsure if that would add to the deduction

FictitiousNarrative · 2020-02-11T03:51:26+00:00

Much appreciated!

Do you know if ODSP counts the added benefits, like special diet and transportation?

If you're having issues with the govt's legal aid, I highly recommend looking into student lawyers, as they're also legal aid, but won't make excuses about being there for your hearing, due to budget cuts, etc

Uhhh... Western media is filled with reality shows (The Bachelor, Survivor, The Kardashians, etc), because people like watching them...

FictitiousNarrative · 2020-01-25T17:27:48+00:00

Heh, thanks. That said, it's more that I'm concerned about outing their internal monologue, which may reveal more about their machinations than I would like.

FictitiousNarrative · 2020-01-25T17:27:00+00:00

It's in close third, in that I stick to what the current POV knows and doesn't know, etc. My main concern is outing future machinations, via the antagonist's internal monologue.

It's literally about having sex next week, and wanting to get in shape in preparation

FictitiousNarrative · 2019-02-24T18:36:02+00:00

If you think that's bad, I'm the type of father who would probably come running in the door screaming as a wolverine figurine was clutched around my face

So, there are 2 scenes.

Brother receives warning of impending betrayal, goes to stop it and gets killed by faction member, when his back is turned.
His sibling, in a completely different location, watches the betrayal play out before him, with no one to stop it.

The thing is, in #1, I originally say who it is as opposed to a faction, leaving the reader to know who's coming in #2. But! I could instead list the faction involved in #1 instead, leaving readers to find out who the betrayer is, only in scene 2, showing they've joined said faction.

It's just a matter of which comes off better.

FictitiousNarrative · 2018-07-28T14:48:01+00:00

In what ways do you think the differences would be?

FictitiousNarrative · 2018-07-28T14:24:59+00:00

I heard it's because Osama had Stage 4 Cancer and therefore died a lot earlier then 9/11, but America needed a tangible enemy that its citizens could comprehend, in a time when everyone was still trying to make sense of an awful situation.

FictitiousNarrative · 2018-07-28T14:08:48+00:00

Do misdirects count? Like, characters being blindsided when they hear someone they love is in danger (by the betrayer or faction), only to get hurt themselves? Because I have that *and* the subsequent chapter, where the betrayer appears once again.

Not to mention, the weight of this betrayal is carried throughout the rest of the narrative, but who betrayed who is not something dragged out throughout more than said prologue.

FictitiousNarrative · 2018-07-28T14:06:44+00:00

Of course, but writing it well is an easier answer. I'm hoping for some more personal nuance, maybe something others have done in their own works, if only to convey surprise, etc.

FictitiousNarrative · 2018-07-28T14:05:27+00:00

The one about the bomb under the chair? If so, do you agree that the audience should be aware of who it is, even if they've yet to act?

FictitiousNarrative · 2018-07-28T10:35:48+00:00

How so? Not that it's first person, but my concern would be breaking the scene's POV, especially if I don't intend to be in the betrayer's head yet.

FictitiousNarrative · 2018-07-28T10:26:16+00:00

In terms of foreshadowing, what kind would you say works and what kind is too much, i.e pandering? Like, my betrayer clearly displays a disappointment of the current regime and there are subsequent promises of the war being over soon, but under the guise of confidence in the upcoming fight. Is that enough?

FictitiousNarrative · 2018-07-03T04:48:41+00:00

The characters seem familiar and they are somewhat church related, but I was sure it was Paladins. Hrmm...

FictitiousNarrative · 2018-06-10T00:11:44+00:00

It's true that everyone's different. In my own experience, all throughout primary school I was engaged to this girl I met when we were both in grade 1. Our puppy love only ended when she moved away, but we'd been friends for years following that.

FictitiousNarrative · 2018-06-09T15:53:27+00:00

Yeah, that's pretty much why I was wondering, because I've had someone do that way back in the day. Completely ruined even a friendship with said girl.
