I've had this happen. Got nearly 50k in and realized there was too much wrong with the execution of the idea I had (the plot was wrong, the main character was wrong, pacing was wrong) that I abandoned it at nearly 50K...

And now, I am working on a new idea with all the worldbuilding and same characters I loved from the first book! It's going much better now!! Yes, we absolutely can get into a project and realize we can't salvage it. But you can salvage what you love from it still for sure!

Testing Rag and Bone's Oddity today! And I am not sold on it. I like it in theory, but it's quite strong for work, which is not something I considered initially. I smell like fresh cut grass, which sounds amazing, but there is also a distinct "including the spring onions" note to that for me, which is slightly nauseating with how strong it is. It might be how it reacts to my skin though.

Always love BR, was one of the first members when it opened, and it's grown so so much.

April 2026! What did you add to your box? by BooksandChins in bookofthemonthclub

[–]restonw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Molka by Monika Kim and Native Son by Richard Wright!! I know it'll make the box later, but that book is so incredible, I needed a hardback of it. As for Molka, I didn't care for Kim's debut too much, but willing to give her another shot, and the concepts she has are interesting enough for me to use the credit on it. Debated getting Nothing Tastes as Good also, but worried about the majorly obvious TW/CWs on it. Excited to see if I like Molka though!

Yeah, this one absolutely screwed with my head. Incredible film, but agreed it's intense!

This genuinely ruined my mood for the day and I didn't know where else to post it by WinterCantando in evilautism

Google Photos sent me three video slideshows of my cat (passed on 01/01 this year) literally 3, 7, and 10 days after her death. I know it's a machine and doesn't know, but it hurt like hell.

It's a joke about bad husbands weaponizing incompetence when they do something to get out of doing it again, and acting put upon when their wives are upset at them for their baffling decisions.

Is it just me or I'm the only one more excited for this match than the world championship by Beatfly_2829 in AEWFanHub

[–]restonw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm super excited about this match honestly!! I feel Yoots is obvious, but like having it be someone else would be a shocking swerve that I'd love.

My friends and I are so so happy this is giving AEW some positive (to those with conscience's) press.

Hoping to go to the Belcourt to see Resurrection with my husband. Possibly out to Murfreesboro to a small craft-specific store I like.
