it's april 4. a man dressed in snow gear resembling a space suit just drove a riding snow blower over so he could remove hundreds of pounds (Multiple Feet) of wet, sleety snow from the end of my mom's driveway. this man is the kind of working class legend sung about in american folksongs. we are trapped inside and there is an 80-foot pine tree outside with boughs so heavy it's leaning at a perilous 45-degree angle. my brother is booting up in chain shoes to shovel the steps. the neighbor's cable line snapped in two and he's outside vengefully or mournfully dragging the end around as he de-ices his place.

i repeat:

It Is April 4 .

Was gonna check out some new mods today, but then got distracted by the craziest embezzling case in Vietnam's financial history, this real estate tycoon (Trương Mỹ Lan) stole what is an equivalent of 10% of Vietnam's entire GDP???????? (x)

Never been so disrespected in my life. I was chilling in my dirt house because I got stuck outside and an Enderman straight up stole my wall. He took my dirt and there were skeletons out there! They turned my ass into a pincushion and now all my shit is down in a canyon.

I’m not sure if you’ve specifically answered this before, but how long did it take you to outline, research, and prepare the foundational meat of Lionheart since it’s such a sprawling saga with threads for so many characters? Did you have it all mapped out before you started writing? What about shorter pieces like The Climb and the latest, delightful The Death Eater Diaries?

The series outline for Lionheart I wrote on one bleary, rabbit-hole of a day in the summer of 2022 when I was definitely supposed to be doing something else, and after that, each book took me between 3 days and 2 weeks to outline completely. The later books have taken longer because of their length and the number of threads — the series has a way of getting wider as well as longer, and for the last two books, I sometimes got a bit grumbly about how many characters pop up in every novel. As for research, most of that will happen before or during the outlining process; I'll have a copy of the book on-hand to check plot details, but for the most part I try to work without flipping back to the text, to avoid copying beats or stylistic choices unless I have a thematic reason to. I also use HP Lexicon and fanwikis while I'm editing for content, though when I'm drafting I make a real effort not to switch out of the tab for any reason, because it breaks flow. I'm sure I have missed some details despite my references, but c'est la vie; JKR had to do continuity edits in subsequent edition releases for several books, so at least I'm not alone.

For The Climb, I wrote the first chapter in the raw, then went through and blocked out the second two in an outline at the bottom of the document. Very very broad strokes there — TC is different from Lionheart because it's a slice-of-life tone piece, so there's not as much plot to be done. It's a novella conceived for the sole purpose of exploring one particular relationship, so the plot came secondary to the things I wanted to highlight about how that dynamic worked. It's a character-forward piece, to borrow culinary terminology, and outlining for character is a lot easier than outlining for plot. (For me.)

The Death Eater Diaries emerged almost fully-formed from a Tumblr post I made joking about the sort of ludicrously awful decade Narcissa experiences. The hardest part of outlining was nailing down canonical dates. Stuff like how old Andromeda was when she got pregnant, when Bellatrix got married, when the members of the previous generation died, all that's unspecified — but it's also all functionally constrained to a narrow window of time, if you take in where the characters are at certain other parts of the story, so you can't just say anything. It was very fun to write, though. Doing so also stressed how hilariously short the timeline on the Black family collapse actually is. Between 1971 and 1981, they go from a two-branch family with an heir, a spare, and three healthy daughters -> completely extinct in the male line, two of its descendants disinherited, two imprisoned, one missing, presumed dead, and Draco Malfoy's mom.

my dad very bravely offered to help me carry some of my eccentric belongings into my dorm this weekend, so in honor of that, here's a doodle of that time he valiantly suffered me singing along to the store radio at our local home depot

I have a sibling 10 years younger than me, and the other day they blew my mind by telling me they had NEVER taken cash out of an ATM - they did everything with card/phone payments, always.

I can't tell if this is a generational thing or just their specific experience, so help me out?

why did everyone deadass act like gloss and cashmere going into the 75th games together was normal. they are brother and sister. if i was kat i would be thinking "what the fuck are they going to do if they're the only two left/if they have to watch the other die." literally any character in the games should have been thinking that. even the capitol didn't seem to acknowledge that fact (despite how upset they were over peeta's fake kid). and the siblings themselves acted like this was just a normal hunger games and they were a normal career alliance like ?????
