Haven't seen any of my friends irl for over a week. It's my weekly D&D game I miss the most. We do it online now, but it's not the same... Anyway, what I'm saying is, I feel you.

I know a lot of librarians. I've been doing sound helping out at events at a library for the past few weeks (all upcoming events have been cancelled for the next month due to corona, though, sadly), and I have several good friends who are librarians. And I can tell you that there is nothing that makes a librarian quite so happy as seeing kids come back day after day to devour books. (Figuratively speaking.) Yeah, that was me as well. My big mouth has gotten me into a lot of trouble over the years... Most teachers don't like smart-ass students who don't know when to shut up. Thankfully, I had a few teachers who did too, specifically all my English teachers and all but one of my arts and crafts teachers. lol -
@jamessavik Thanks for sharing The Unforgiven. I haven't listened to it in far too long and it used to be one of my favourites. I was once at a folk music thing, kind of a meet-up, in Sweden, and it was about two in the morning, people sitting passing a guitar around. And we played this. Two or three acoustic guitars, I sang, and more people kept turning up to join. Got to the solo and this older guy pulls out a fiddle and just shreds it, the perfect fucking rendition of that thing. Gave me chills. Such a good night. Anyway, fond memories.

Thanks, Wayne. I know. ❤️

Thank you. Don’t worry, I’m not suicidal. That would take effort I just don’t have.
-
Thank you, Parker. It always starts with the little things... Both the darkness falling, and the dawn that follows.

Thanks, tim. ❤️ I try to just swim through it, I guess. Accept that there are days when I just can't and try not to push myself on those days, and then work on it on the days when I can. That's what they told me in my depression psychoeducation class. Then in my bipolar psychoeducation class they told me I just have to live through it and try to do things that are good for me, because, well... it's just my brain chemistry.

Thanks for the clarification. Maybe it's possible to make it so the box says Search... in it or something before you type? Like other search boxes on the site? Might make it less confusing for future users who haven't read this blog post.

Happy Saturday, DiC! I'm back in the land of the living after a serious case of onemoreturnitis playing Civilization VI. It's such a time sink, but my obsession tends to wane after a few days... Hope you're all having a good weekend!

I tried to set a discussion topic for my story Storms, but it's not showing up after the chapters for me. MacBook Pro (2015) running macOS Mojave. Browser: Safari. And the topic I'm trying to link to:

I love this. It's very sweet, but I feel like there's a melancholy aspect to it too...
-
Nope. You'll have to wait, just like everybody else. All I will say is that it's totally different from anything else I've written.
-
Ooh, that cinematic is amazing! Looks like it'll be a great game. I haven't played Baldur's Gate since the first one... Should definitely give this one a go.
-
As it happens, I've written 50k words on a new novel in the past months and a half, so there.
-
As if that's ever stopped me. I've been playing Civ VI all day, though, haven't even been on GA since yesterday. And no. I won't be editing two chapters a day. I have my own writing to focus on.

As you know, I'm bipolar too. So, yeah, I know how it can be and I've reacted similarly to things in the past. For what it's worth, I'm sorry you went through all that with those other people, and I'm sorry the discussion turned out the way it did. Those of us on the other 'side', as it were, could probably have handled it better too. I hope things are cool between us. I want them to be. -
That's what our DM always says; that we create the adventure together. He basically gave us these super detailed background 'surveys', almost, where we answered questions and came up with NPCs and stuff from our characters' past, so he could incorporate them into his adventure and come up with personal quests for us.

I mean, we'll get to the Fire Plane eventually. We have to, we need that item to defeat the big bad, so this is just a detour. Chances were we were gonna end up back in Altendon at some point, so the DM's been keeping what's happening there in the back of his head, especially as Miriwen went there to help the rebels. He just wasn't expecting it to be now. lol I'm curious as to what's happened to the Bard's College... I'll probably find out at some point during the week, as the DM and I are gonna have to talk about what's been going on there since Miriwen went back, if I'm gonna be her a little bit. I'm not relishing the task of having to talk to myself... lol

It was good. We had planned to go to the Elemental Plane of Fire, to look for a magical item we need, but then we decided to make a stop on the way that the DM had in no way prepared for and suddenly found ourselves in the middle of a conflict between the evil empire and rebel freedom fighters. lol So now we feel like we have to help out the rebels first. And I'll probably have to play two characters next week, as this is where my old character lives (she left the party to go help the rebels). We're lucky to have a DM who, instead of getting annoyed when we go off somewhere different than planned, thinks it's awesome and exciting and a fun challenge.

Morning, molly. Tuesday going all right here, so far. Hope you're well!
-
Good morning, DiC. How are you all today? I'll be playing Dungeons and Dragons tonight. We haven't played in a few weeks because our Druid had his kidneys taken out. He's waiting for a donor now and doing dialysis every other day, but he's back at home and feels well enough for gaming, so back to it we go!

writing Danger: Inclusive Messaging Ahead
Thorn Wilde commented on Thorn Wilde's blog entry in The Fantastic Mr. Wilde
With respect, that's exactly what we were doing. We weren't pushing for anything. All of us were talking about how it related to our own work, or we were talking in generalities. Nobody was saying that this is something writers should do, only that it's something they can do and some of us want to do. The problems didn't start until some people decided to take it personally and assume we were trying to push for it, when none of us were. For my own part, I even wrote specifically that it's not always feasible, that it's not a measure of quality, that many of my own stories and several of my favourite books don't 'pass', and that people should write whatever they want to write. I think a lot of us feel like we're being held responsible for other people's feelings, and that just doesn't seem fair.
