How does one find an artist to work on a comic with? It wouldn’t be for free, I would absolutely pay.

Can’t draw to save my life, so I’m willing to hire an artist to help make my dream of a comic happen.

I absolutely LOVE it when “boys will be boys”.

I can’t believe I have stuff to work on from an alpha read, this is so cool. I love notes! Can’t wait to find some beta readers who will REALLY tell me where the dumb shit is!

i can’t believe i set a goal for fictober and actually accomplished it!

100 words every day! and i did it!

i know it’s small, but i’ve been struggling a lot with focus lately. a little victory i will certainly take over another defeat!

woo!

If you are still not convinced by the wisdom here, this is a very short clip that is forever burned into my mind:

He said, "You are my son, Tarl Cabot."

"I am Tarl Cabot," I said.

"I am your father," he said.

This is very early on in the FIRST BOOK. It won’t get better.

Now, if you have friends with similar interests and you love trashy barbarian movies there are two truly stupid film adaptations, but at least you can be drunk with friends while watching.

If you’re intrigued by me and Systlin hateposting and becoming Bernice Green truthers b/c it’s unbelievable that John Norman has actually seen a woman in real life, and you think to yourself “Maybe I should read the Gor books, I bet it would be funny,” take it from me: Don’t.

Words can’t really express how gawdawful these books are. They’re so bad it’s worse. I guess the wooden prose and the bizarre worldbuilding are kinda funny but then you’re dealing with the misogyny and rape fetishization and Ragnar-Redbeard-ass worldview in addition to the wooden prose and bizarre worldbuilding.

If you simply must investigate for yourself (perhaps as punishment for some terrible transgression), all 34 of them (yes you read that number right) are on Archive.org. Please don’t give Norm Johnman your money.

What do people like to do for NaNoWriMo when it comes to Tumblr? Do you post word counts? Excerpts of the day? Nitty gritty updates?

the guilt of receiving a ‘please update’ comment on AO3...

okay, i think i know what i’m doing for november. i’ve been experimenting with a fantasy world and since i’m having fun, i’m hoping that momentum carries me through next month.

so! adventures with witches, dragons, familiars, werewolves and demons sounding fun? it’d be nice to have a circle to talk about november projects with. i love hearing about other folks stuff as well.

NaNoWriMo 2021

I legit have zero excuses to not do NaNo this year. No school. No full time job. No excuses.

I’m currently mentally rummaging trying to figure out what I want to focus on. Do I pick up something I’ve started and push for 50,000 fresh words? Do I start something new? I’ve also got an old work that could really stand to be rewritten.

Soundscapes, foley and music would hopefully guide you along a story. An example would be ‘The Revenge’ from ‘78. An audio play with no dialogue but definitely is telling a story.

This has an interesting breakdown of it.

No. See above.

Would you listen to an audio drama podcast with no dialogue? Or extremely minimal dialogue?
