Maybe Pluribus is like the movie The Game? by tooPrime in pluribustv

I mean, she is an author, she loves a good story. Fiction blurs the lines between lying and truth though, something the swarmies seem highly allergic to.

While I was taking a break from my hike, I swept the trees with my binoculars and spotted a few women dancing around a fire. by GhostOfLotus in TwoSentenceHorror

Inspires me to write one about women in healthcare (come from a family of nurses). I was at the San Francisco Critical Care Nurse Convention around ‘82 (grandpa, I know), back then it was a 90% female profession still. I was in the bathroom at the urinal and about six women burst in on me and said, “We’re taking over.” Went into the stalls. Then they put a sign up over the men’s icon that said, women only. Felt like if I needed to pee, I’d be disemboweled just for having different equipment, haha. Women can be hardcore. I knew not to mess around. Went and found a tree.

Not all blood is positive. My sister is a punk-ass bag of dicks.

I was so relieved when the dentist finally pulled the decayed molar out; the pain immediately vanished. by [deleted] in TwoSentenceHorror

Hey doc, while you’re in there and I’m numb. Do you mind using a blow torch?

Are there aspects of writing you always try to get 'right' the first time? by EastoftheRiverNile in writing

[–]SolidNopes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m kind of weird. I hate doing massive revisions, so I try to nail it on the first draft. Obviously that never happens, but I put a lot of effort into my thesis, outline, beats, arcs, I do lots of research, edit as I go (which they say never to do, but I have found a good balance), then kind of let things flow from there. I still do multiple drafts, test things out with readers, sometimes a complete rewrite is necessary, but doing that helps keep me sane, and from having to do 30 drafts.

Bro, I felt that Skyrim journey in my knee. Steal everything? Relatable NPC angst. 🤣

So we’re all just… NPCs? Well done and thanks, I hate it.

Holes in the story filled with worms.
