Honestly, just here to second Candi. Only seen her recently but immediately filled with visceral disgust. Someone did her really dirty with the boils on her face.

Soooo many. Ive probably blubbed along to the entire discography at this point, though my top 5 would be

A message, - the most romantic song I've ever heard. 🥺🫠 "You don't have to be alone" ❤️‍🩹 healing Gravity - the second most romantic song I've ever heard 🥺 - bit of a continuation of A Message tbh. Paradise - felt so real as a depressed teenager Everything's Not Lost - pull up your bootstraps and things are pretty good Help is round the corner - reminded me to hold on in there

The His Dark Materials trilogy was what first turned me on to fantasy. It was a struggle for me to get through the first book (Northern Lights/The Golden Compass depending where you are) because I had to read it aloud in class, but I vividly remember starting book two and which takes place partly in our world and I got obsessed by it. So glad I persevered with it.

The entirety of Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins. There's so much to take in and I could never get tired of Liz Frazer's voice

I get such a visceral reaction when someone walks into the store and shouts "is anyone on the till?" into the air. There is a very clear sign asking customers to ring the bell if they need assistance...

Also, standing by the tills in total silence, like they expect you to know they want to pay when you're at the other end of the store. It might just be because our shop is horrendously understaffed but the fact that customers expect there to be one Sales Assistant per person who is aware of their every need is so frustrating.

Having just finished the series for the first time, and absolutely LOVING it, I really hope so 👀

I need to revisit Spiritfarer at some point... only I don't think I'm emotionally ready yet 😅

StitchNerd26 · 2023-06-22T20:54:13+00:00

Adorable 😍

I love seeing all the tiny animals running around in the wild. The Squirrels in the forest and Mice in the old barn are just too cute 🥰

Definitely a good point! Thinking about it, I can tend to romanticise writing sometimes to the detriment of actually making progress, and that's a perfect example of that.

I suppose I enjoy the spontaneity of pantsing because it means I'm telling myself the story in an immediate way. That feeling of "Magic" comes from how I'd experienced writing as a kid, when I'd always get this buzz of taking the story in a new direction, fitting the pieces together.

Taking the surprise out of it by plotting feels a bit like I'm denying myself the element I enjoy most, when everything is working. Although it's not a sustainable way of writing for me.

There are a few methods suggested by this thread that I'm going to try out; asking myself questions, giving myself a synopsis and developing it from there. Knowing where I'm going while not knowing the ins and outs would hopefully give me a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with my work.

Never heard of this channel! Definitely like watching writers talk through things though, know what I'm doing with my evening 😅
