After that, we joined the main group, who had been playing Bang!, and we played Saboteur and then Night of the Ninja. (All hidden role/social deduction games; I don't know if that was deliberate or just how it turned out when they were picking games that could accommodate the number of players.) Read more... )

. I went for a morning walk, and at one point I encountered a woman walking a large shaggy white dog. When I first saw them, they were passing behind a knee-high obstruction, so it was only after they cleared that that I discovered that they were accompanied by a second dog, a tiny pug.


. I've been watching The Celebrity Traitors, and enjoying it. It's the first time I've been following a season of The Traitors as it happens, instead of coming along later and gulping down the entire season in a few days.

Hi all! How was writing today?

Gotta ask for the giggles: besides fanfiction, what is your favorite type of fan media?

Hello!! How is writing today?

Today's discussion question is heavily based after what has been going on in my life: what is the shiny thing keeping you from writing?

So, I’ve been on an especially ruminative self-reflective bent as of late—and as per my most recent check-in over on [community profile] justcreate, one case of such involves questioning where exactly my creative drive comes from. More specifically, I’ve been sitting with a well-worn motto that I once thought I’d taken to heart…

Write what you want to read.

…But might have instead been taking for granted, in the sense that what I’d for a while considered as a writer to be a core appeal of much of my work is something I doubt I’d appreciate as a reader from the outside looking in—if I weren’t the one doing the aiming in the first place, in other words, I don’t think I’d be included in the target (audience) I’m trying to hit.

So, I figured I’d spin this uncomfortable case of arrested authorial development into my first shot at actually sparking discussion around here—and thus pose this variably obvious question to you in turn: What is the relationship between what you read(/watch/play/etc.) and what you write?

. At board game club, we played a string of card games: Thirty-One, Bacon, Psycho Killer, The Mind, and Star Fluxx.Read more... )


. I tried a different picross/nonograms program that I found available on Steam, on a similar basis where the first twenty puzzles are free and then you can pay for extra puzzle packs.Read more... )


. I did not in fact remember to take the fly veil to Parkrun last week, though fortunately the flies were well enough behaved that I didn't need it. I did remember this week, and hopefully will continue to remember as we get into the part of the year where the flies get really friendly.
