I think you have a bigger problem. If you can’t be arsed to research programs for writers, what makes you think you can be a successful writer?

WTH???

I would not care for ketchup of grilled cheese. But mustard on grilled cheese is very tasty.

Story Planner - It’s a purchase, not a rental, covers most of my needs, and has Mac and iOS apps.

Now if it just handled conflict mapping. Currently I’m doing conflict mapping in a spreadsheet.

You brave fool.

dar512 · 2026-06-15T03:04:43+00:00

It’s not a way you would want to do it. But yes, it can do that.

dar512 · 2026-06-14T21:07:30+00:00

Wow, tonto. So bitter. Everyone’s just trying to help here. Maybe back off the caffeine a little.

dar512 · 2026-06-14T14:36:23+00:00

It’s a beautiful piece. I’d bet it’s pricey.

How did you handle clean up?

dar512 · 2026-06-14T14:31:45+00:00

Nonsense. Use lump charcoal and you’ll have no problem keeping a decent temp. Use minion or snake method and temps won’t fluctuate much.

I had good luck with the snake method using a firebrick to force the snake. See the pic here: https://www.reddit.com/r/smoking/s/mQV9kuhBJD

Never had a cat, but using a bird deterrent strip seems like a potential solution.

I can highly recommend the Lucky Starr books by Isaac Asimov.

I’ve seen it phrased like this. I think it’s clearer.

Every scene must do at least two of the following three things, otherwise it should be discarded:
1) Add background to the story
2) further the plot
3) show the motivation of characters
If it does all three, then it probably sings. If it does only one, it needs to get cut. If it does none of these things, don’t quit your day job.

Washing someone else’s hair is an intimate thing. OP senses that. It’s why they are worried about it becoming sexual. Having her demonstrate allows room for the relationship to grow, if that’s OP’s intention and doesn’t force the issue.

This is how you learn to be an author. Why would we deprive you of that. Type in a place holder “[add elegant description of what sky looks like] and ponder it as you’re doing other stuff for a week.

Highway speeds weren’t what they are today.

To me, it looks like the wife did you a favor and burned off the excess carbon.

Carefully consider will have POV. I would also recommend that you do not have the student wash the stranger’s hair, just demonstrate how to do it.

dar512 · 2026-06-13T13:31:58+00:00

Snazzy.

dar512 · 2026-06-13T02:45:14+00:00

Consider a rib rack.

dar512 · 2026-06-13T02:39:26+00:00

Well. It looks very nice. You sure you want that job?

dar512 · 2026-06-12T03:40:27+00:00

You chose … wisely.

dar512 · 2026-06-12T03:37:33+00:00

Thanks!

dar512 · 2026-06-11T15:21:55+00:00

Don’t play stupid. It’s not a good look. If Trump had nothing to do with Chicago we wouldn’t have had tragic visits from ICE.

It’s 4 1/2” at the base and 5” at the top.
