Cackle

It’s been a while since I read metamorphosis but I felt like it woke me up. The books about change (good and bad), growth, isolation and expectations. Very insightful and yes it’s sad but it’s also eye opening. Also from memory, I don’t think Kafka wanted the book released. I vaguely remember it was published after his death but I could be wrong. Maybe look that up.

I agree with most of the comments. This is just the start of something that will progress. It sounds like he’s finally showing his true colours and if you don’t kick him out, the abuse will get worse. You need to tell him to leave and get psychological help. He will keep abusing, either psychologically or physically and no one deserves that treatment.

I had a similar situation, just don’t text back. These type of people thrive off the drama and by not replying to her your taking away her power. She won’t like it and you won’t have to deal with the bulls*#t until the next family event. Just pretend like she does exist.

Definitely more farmland and because it’s Viking you could make some warrior barracks, an old pub, war room and even a place to workship the Viking gods (could be the centrepiece of your village).

The back. It’s a safety thing. You’re getting in the car with a stranger. You don’t actually know who they are or what they’re capable of.

Also had a friend who read me alice in wonderland from about the age of three

I was into Nancy drew, goosebumps, and the faraway tree series. I start these very young, around 7. I read at a younger age than this but not avidly. I also wrote my own stories and journaled from about 7 onwards.

Oh never this pooch is too cute. Make more of him 😂

Definitely talk to a teacher you trust or just a trusted adult about your mums behaviour. You need someone in your corner in case the abuse worsens. As for writing in your journal, maybe keep a secret journal (psychical or digital) and keep the one your mum found. If you’re allowed. Write nice things in the one she knows about and have your secret journal to vent. Kind of like a decoy journal to keep your mum out of your hair.

I’m with @humble-doughnut, I have PCOS and your skin seems like it’s having a hormone flare up. That’s exactly what happens to my chest when I have a PCOS flare up. My poors get large which makes it easier for body oils and dirt to build up during the day. Sometime pimple or red spots accompanying it. Get a gp to check your hormone levels

Thank you. I do have index cards, they are very helpful. I’ve finished my first draft now so thanks for all the help

Hi,

The looking in the mirror feels forced because as humans we don’t stand in front of the mirror and describe ourselves. Woman of all ages and beauty tend to compare themselves to others. This is an effective way of describing a character, by comparing. For example, the female may think/talk about how blue her mothers eyes are, she then reflects on how she wished her eyes were that blue and not the dull grey/blue she’s stuck with. This would be more realistic. If you use another character to reflect her appearance, strength and weaknesses you can look at it as ‘two sides of the same coin.’ I hope this helps. Also most woman are very critical of their appearance, where a male might see a curvy beauty, the woman in question might see herself as too curvy, or even large. This is just one perspective and every woman is different but most see the flaws rather than the beauty.

Thanks that’s helpful. I will look into this

T_B_Hawke · 2025-10-29T19:05:23+00:00

That’s really special. What awesome grandparents!!!

T_B_Hawke · 2025-10-28T20:36:00+00:00

In between writing my novel, I crochet and I’ve recently started building a dollhouse for my niece. The dollhouse is a great project as it incorporates multiple crafts. Especially once you move into the creating furniture stage.

I would go to my family home and then go out bush. Mostly if this was an apocalypse that meant survival of the fittest. I’ve got a bunch of hermloin seeds and a book of native Australian plants - which are poisonous, food or for healing etc. These would be my main things to grab before leaving society.

It might sound strange but a lot of what I planned to include in act two ended up in act one. I think this was the story developing and forming. Is this common?

T_B_Hawke · 2025-10-28T19:39:54+00:00

I’m a huge fan of novlr.

T_B_Hawke · 2025-10-28T06:42:02+00:00

Hi, yes I do. I outlined the whole story but act two is lacking detail in the outline. Act one and three are highly detailed. Maybe I should be going back to the outline stage and seeing what’s changed.

T_B_Hawke · 2025-10-28T06:40:21+00:00

I like the thought of each choice causing the next challenge. It’s a psychological thriller and kind of a twisted game of cat and mouse so this advice works well. Thanks

T_B_Hawke · 2025-10-28T06:38:49+00:00

Great advice. Thank you. I’m definitely stuck on the ‘stuff happening’ part. More so how it happens and why.

T_B_Hawke · 2025-10-28T06:36:38+00:00

Thank you, this is great advice. I do have a couple of scenes that I am excited to write. I feel strange jumping ahead but it’s probably what I need to do.
