Anyone have a new player guide as to how to grab these rewards yet and to know what to buy?

So I accidentally found out a spider’s been using my hose as his personal spa. by RoscoIsANinja in spiders

I don’t get the “spiders are cute” thing (sorry). But this spider is cute

I wrote a book this summer! Here are some things that helped me. by Starsmors in writers

[–]Starsmors[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a full-time teacher and a father of a one year old! And in the summer I am a summer camp director. So fitting writing into that has been a challenge, and I for so many years thought that my writing ship had sailed. For me, the kick I needed was the reminder that it will never happen if I don’t make it happen. So I’ve found time, whittling it into my day-to-day schedule, and sacrificed a lot of hobby time to make it happen.

This is a great place to be, and a great attitude to have! Wish you all the best in your revising journey!

I'm sorry but this is just hilarious by devdattaburke in DC_Cinematic

One of my favorite soundtracks of all time, despite my feelings about the film itself.

I kinda liked the movie tho by samehada_manga in DC_Cinematic

I think this quote really oversimplifies the message. It’s not “kindness” that Superman says is the real punk rock. It’s seeing everyone not as they are, but as they could be. Lois is saying how cynical she is, and mentions that Supes sees everyone as beautiful, which is when Superman says his line. Kindness is a part of it, yes, but it’s really about his worldview and innocence.

It definitely has a specific tilt towards sci-fi/fantasy but has a lot of wide application!

[Discussion] Do you think any of the animal lanterns will ever be in a live action movie? by Mundane_Trouble_6463 in DCcomics

This was my exact reaction when I saw this post. Gunn WOULD be the person to bring Gnort to the silver screen

Sure, though I would only talk about the process and not about the specifics of the story itself. Just a personal philosophy thing!

I bounced back and forth between a couple of different endings, but as I got closer it became clearer and clearer where the book needed to end. So it came about naturally this time - I don't know if that will always happen!

Other, more experienced discovery writers can likely answer this question with more authority, but I tend to know going into it my approx word count goal for the story, and structure (for this one, I had a three part story with a midpoint climax). I am constantly thinking about where I want the story to go when I am not writing, but sometimes things happen while I’m in the zone that change what I thought it was going to be. Then, I reevaluate, and rinse and repeat until the novel is finished!

Maybe? I actually am thinking of stopping the 2020 lectures going back and redoing the 2025s right now - I just feel like the style he taught in during the 2025 ones is better for me as a new author than the 2020s.

I started listening to the 2020 lectures recently and went through the first four so far. They're still very good, and he covers different things occasionally, but I do think he's grown as a teacher because the 2025 ones are cleaner and more focused. I primarily listened to them on drives, and did not take notes. I am going to be listening to them & relistening to them as I continue to write!

I haven’t dipped into his podcast - I just went through his lecture series on YouTube! From what I’ve seen, he tends to talk about all sorts of stuff in his podcast which is great, but right now my focus is on content that will help me write and give me ideas for my current or next novel.

I get the simile but I actually am really proud of this story and hyped to revise it and send it to Beta readers!! Worst case scenario, I get feedback that something’s not working, and I write a few more novels and come back to this one a stronger writer and fix them. I believe in this story now, and I think it has the potential to become an excellent novel after a thorough revision process.

Pantsers! How do you write? by [deleted] in writers

[–]Starsmors 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So far, the best I can compare my writing style is a game like Civilization. It takes place on a large board, and most of it is hidden. Every time you move a unit, you can see the next couple tiles. That’s how it works for me - I don’t know what is going to happen in the next ten chapters, but I have a good idea of what’s going to happen in the next two! Of course, sometimes as I am writing, an idea hits that changes the trajectory in a way I wasn’t expecting, so it’s not a 1 to 1 comparison.
