  3. I usually start with a high level plan of the main points and then wing it once I get into the details.

    Counting money after its out of ATM

    I think with Euros it is rather easy to quickly check, the different bills have different colours after all.
  5. OH GOD THAT'S AWFUL. :'D I'm so sorry. I know how bad that can get sometimes, I've had keyboards give up on me. It was the worst.
  6. It sure is. I had to write everything on my phone during my final year of university because my laptop keyboard just did not work in certain spots—I started copying and pasting the letter A because that was one of the keys that just wouldn't work 😂
  7. I have a bed of hostas in my back garden. Eighteen months ago I collected seeds from them and stored them over Winter before propagating them in Spring. I produced about 30 healthy but quite small new plants, all of which got planted out (I raised them in pots) before Summer had finished. I'm now waiting to see how many of them have survived into a second year. Fingers crossed!
  8. Hi friends, Lately, I've been wanting to test out a new name. I've only just started telling a small handful of people what that name is. One of those people addressed me by the new name towards the end of our conversation, and I have to admit that it felt odd, like they were getting me mixed up with someone else. I love the name, but I guess it just doesn't really feel like "me" yet. So, now I'm wondering: For those of you who have chosen a new name, what was it like for you bonding with that name? Did it click with you right away, or did you have to get used to it ove
  9. Oh I'd be on my laptop, I wouldn't be writing on my phone. XD! Writing on my phone would be a nightmare. :'D Fucking autocorrect. The most I do with my phone for stories is jot down any ideas i have while I'm out and about.

    Are you a Planner or a "Pantser" when it comes to writing

    Pantser but I wouldn't say that works out
  11. That's cool. I do like mind maps although I would probably still just pick up another notebook instead—at least I started using sticky notes to mark pages because it wasn't very easy to find things with dog-eared pages. I don't go on my desktop computer often for applications, so I use my phone for stuff like spreadsheets instead, but writing on a phone is a bit tedious.

    Do you have a clock in your bathroom?

    I don't like the idea of being on the clock in the toilet.
  14. I think it might help to get like a perspective and whatnot. There's still a lot left out, but yeah. Will do! I makes digital notes and keep it on a flashdrive. XD I feel the exact same way about the older notes I have of my story! It's wild seeing how it's grown and evolved over time. > w<!! Getting closer and closer to something I'd want published and set in stone! CX I'm thinking of getting this one: https://bibisco.com/ seems like a decent price and has a lot of cool features.
  15. Update: All of the tomato seeds have now sprouted! I'm so relieved! I've also got a few spinach leaves poking up out of the dirt now. Still no activity yet from the peppers or potatoes, but I think those usually take a bit longer to sprout.
  16. If you find it helps to chat about the story with someone then sure you can send me what you got 👍. I have a notebook for my story going and it's quite messy. I find summaries difficult to write so I'm not sure I'd be able to summarize it well, haha. It's really interesting to look back and read old ideas and stuff in my notebook—so much changed and developed since I started taking notes. It's kind of like a time capsule in a way which is cool in its own way. What is the novel writing app that you are looking into getting? I've looked at apps before but I find paper eas
  17. I just realized, I forgot to include a picture of the cherry blossoms in my last post! They're abundant this time of year in my area.

    Counting money after its out of ATM

    These types of news annoy me because if the bank makes a mistake and jeapordizes your money, its all "were investigating" at best and "theres nothing that can be done" at worst, and/or outright dismissive attitudes. But as soon as their pockets take a hit, its CIA level investigation

  20. Niiice! My story idea has expanded into quite the pantheon, and it's slowly taking shape, but yeah, lmao maybe by 2030 I can start writing it. xDDDD I AM hoping to get this novel writing software asap, maybe sometime this year, I think I have a lot of the main stuff for like the first installment ready to go for the most part, there are details I'll probably pants, but the basic trajectory I think I have down, and I know the general direction I want the entire story to go in, but it might be a little long and meandering but shhhhh I like that idea. > v>a If you want, I can PM y
  21. I definitely learned this. I initially had a backlog of chapters for that fanfiction but as I applied to university, things just got more busy and it was something I just couldn't keep up with. While posting unfinished work is common in fan spaces, most published books are only read after they are finished writing (unless we could sequels as an unfinished story which is definitely an argument that can be made). On the bright side, publishing unfinished work did help me when I was little to get feedback so I could improve. I don't think I quite appreciated that at the t

    Counting money after its out of ATM

    This reminds me of a news story that I read a few years back that a bank staff of a particular bank mistakenly put the wrong currency note in the ATM, because he was new- double the denomination that he should have. Then, somebody took money out, got double the amount and the news spread like wildfire. Everybody was trying to get extra money out of it. The people emptied the ATM in half a day. But since the bank keeps records of who takes how much money along with the CCTV footage, the bank managed to recover all the money back. With the people facing legal fine
  23. I avoid this by not ever sharing unfinished work. Which means that, as usual, I'm doing things the opposite way from everyone else. 😅

    Are those the same thing?

    Yeah that's my assumption. Still don't like the term for personal use, but I've always gathered that's what it means. Also, reminds me of this. 😂
  25. I’ve voted for a bit of both. I’m more of a pantser by inclination. I love the surprises a story can throw out as I write. My characters have been known to change from baddies to goodies to a morally grey area in between. The plots can take surprising turns too. I’m scared of losing interest if I plot too much because the writing ceases to be discovery and turns into a retelling of something I already know. When I start, I usually know where the characters will end up, but they can go on massive diversions to get there. And I don’t write in a linear fashion.

    Are those the same thing?

    Think about it this way: Talking about “physical attraction” probably means the speaker would get physical with the other person. Otherwise it would be aesthetic attraction. Could “get physical” mean something other than sex, or at least sexually exciting physical affection? I suppose it’s possible, but uncommon. It would have to be explained. I really don’t think most people would understand it that way.
