Yeees, more, please! Well, only if you want to. I know you have a lot to work on. Still, this stuff is cool to read. And, FYI, you've had a much more interesting life than I have.

It's true, although Paul actually prefers coffee. I think he just likes making hot beverages, lol! Morning, Wayne!

The POV switching is pretty straight forward. It switches between chapters, never between scenes, and the chapters are labeled. In the end, I found it's what worked best in order to really get inside the heads of all these characters. Hope it doesn't put you off too much.

I love graphic novels. One of my favourites is actually a webcomic that's free to read. The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal by E.K. Weaver. In the span of a single day, Amal calls off his arranged marriage, comes out to his conservative parents, promptly gets disowned, goes on a bender... and wakes up the next morning to find TJ, a lanky, dreadlocked vagrant, frying eggs and singing Paul Simon in his kitchen. TJ claims that the two have made a drunken pact to drive all the way from Berkeley to Providence. As it happens, Amal promised his sister he'd be there for her graduation from Brown University. And TJ, well... TJ has his own reasons. The agreement is simple: Amal does the driving; TJ pays the way - but a 3500 mile journey leaves plenty of time for things to get complicated. I have read this thing, like, 6 times.

What you having? I has tea. I'm drinking so much tea now. I partially blame the English boyfriend, lol!

I'm afraid you'll find that Daniel has a lot of trials yet to face... But I promise a happy ending!

Music is a very important part of my life. I grew up with a lot of different stuff. Contemporary folk, a lot of Swedish and Norwegian music, and my mum was into 70s rock. Lot of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Pink Floyd. My brother was into Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and other grunge bands, so a lot of different influences. Now I listen a lot to weird indie stuff, lol! I'm glad you enjoy listening to music. Listening to and playing music activates many different parts of the brain at once. That's why music, even simply instrumental music, can make people feel so much.

Eh. Mixed, lol! A tad better than yesterday, though. I think that's a lovely picture!

Hey, Marty. What are you up to today?

Much better, thank you. Hah! I love that quote, that's hilarious! Good word, too. Or, words.

Here's the song, if you'd like to hear it:

The first one rings very true to me. And all of that gets so internalised that even talking about it feels like you're just ruining it for everyone else. Whining. Feels like that. Still, no matter how much pain and suffering you portray in your work, there is always so much beauty in it. Reminds me a lot of this song by Frou Frou... Let Go. Or, the hook in the chorus, anyway. It's all right cause there's beauty in the breakdown. For me, at least, there is something comforting about turning pain into art. Both when I try to do it for myself, and when I see others do the same, especially with similar experiences. I hope it does something similar for you.

Well, my story's Monday hating has a different reason and outcome, but I'd be honoured in you read my story nonetheless.

Yeah. I think so, anyway. Probably gonna spend most of today gaming, too, but gonna try to get some editing done anyway. I'm behind on Laura's book and she needs chapter 4 so she can put it up tomorrow. Hope you feel better too, soon.

OMG! That's the exact same sesame chicken recipe I use! Well, I say the exact same... I used it so many times now I just make it on autopilot so it comes out a little different every time, lol! It's a great recipe, though. Super tasty! Morning, everyone. I had to take a mental health day yesterday, so I just logged off. Had a bit of a crisis, but it's over now, I think. Hope everyone's doing well today.

Hi, Clo! It really does. Hi, B! How was your day? Hi, Dugh! Sorry about the head. Morning, all! I had to take a mental health day yesterday and stay off GA. Spent the rest of the day gaming. Hope everyone had a good Friday!

In D&D, if the cat jumps on the table and knocks over the minis, it's instant TPK. Sasha Distan wrote an incest story for an anthology a few years ago, even. If they'll feature it in an anthology there is literally no reason why they wouldn't let writers post it.

Morning, Albert!

These are typical homophones, yeah. Hope you feel better!

Aww, I'm sorry, sweetie. That really sucks.

That's just bizarre. Interestingly, I have never heard that particular proverb before, lol!

Meh. Anxious. But I'm okay.

Wtf???

Morning, Clo! You have a nice day, too!

Morning, A! How are you today?
