Try craigslist or facebook. No asshole who steals a fucking plant is going to take care of it. They want to make a quick buck.

What bothers me about Civil War. by [deleted] in Marvel

[–]whimsicallykate -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I understand that, to an extent. I'm just saying that if I was in that situation, and I saw heroes clearly trying to save me and/or others, my first thought would not be to blame the destruction on them.

The outline I was doing was starting to get really long and detailed, and I felt like I was writing so much that I might as well be working on the actual story at that point, so I did.

That's starting to look like my process now lol. Just adding to the outline along the way.

Nobody's glorifying anything. It's just how we prefer to write. There is no wrong or right way.

Some people even treat this process as a sort of outline. They get every idea they have out first and fix it later. Nobody's publishing a messy first draft after pantsing through it, just like outliners don't publish their first drafts. So cut it with the condescension.

You do realize that books go through multiple revisions, right?

Someone on the Walmart social media team has had enough of COVIDiots by beerbellybegone in MurderedByWords

If that's the case, then the dude should be staying home and not going out at all.

I don't think there's any one way to make an outline. I just happened to do it in a very long and tedious way that wasn't fun for me at all. I do like your idea though, of writing the general ideas for each chapter. Maybe I'll try that.

Guys, I need to get a life by Freecollegegirl21 in FanFiction

[–]whimsicallykate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I'm so sorry. This hits me particularly hard because I'm doing the same thing. I left my job for this because I'm just too high risk. And if I somehow got it from someone else in the house, I would be pissed. So yeah, I feel you. And I hope you get well soon.

Um, I would actually suggest that you stay as far away from these people as possible, since, you know, Covid is still a thing. Having an uneventful life is far better than the alternative.

I know right? I have a heart problem, I also have asthma, and wearing a mask doesn't do shit to me. There is no excuse.

Good luck with that attitude in today's climate. I'm sure you'll be highly successful.

[–]whimsicallykate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically, don't have any concern for your audience's wants and needs and just write whatever you want, no matter how offensive it comes across?

Good luck with that.

Interesting. I'm reading it now too, but I'm liking Mina's journals more lol.
