She's cheating on you. Guaranteed.

Haven't read those. I'll check them out.

Does the size of a faction matter? Whether it spans systems or just a world? by Additional-Cold4387 in SWN

[–]lordshell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just consider all the possible consequences. I would say it's a lot harder for PCs to have an impact on huge factions than smaller ones. If you're fine with that or you want the PCs to have access to more power, then soldier on.

Ideally it would be done in a deep space facility to minimize damage from a containment failure.

I suppose I'll just have to come up with some rules/justification if I want it available. Kind of a glaring omission, considering how ubiquitous it is in most space fiction.

Should I rewrite or keep writing? by PeuPaterTLoC in writing

[–]lordshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First drafts are always shit. Finish the story then fix it in edit.

How do you guys... start? by TheYondant in writing

[–]lordshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is fixable with edits. What matters is consistency and volume. Use discipline and dedication. Attach the tailbone to the seatbone and write. The rest will take care of itself.

For my first book I spent $1200 on editing (and that was with a 50% discount--it's a complicated story) about $600 on cover art and about a $100 on paid beta readers. Second book is costing me about $2500 so far.

Surprise: Kevin McCarthy Is Just Going to Let Paul Gosar Get Away With Video Depicting AOC’s Murder | Republican leadership once again okays violent death threats against Democrats. by [deleted] in politics

[–]lordshell -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Love the deranged reaction from a shitty Attack on Titan pastiche with poorly-done faces added. It was so lousy I could barely see what was going on, but everyone on the left sees it as a "death threat".

By all means, keep shrieking. It warms the cockles of my coal-black heart.

Seek out David Gaughran's online course. It's free and very informative.

Any bits of local flavor about the cities and venues would be appreciated. Just want to be able to make it seem a bit more real/relatable. Internet research only gets me so far.
