Thirdly

*GASP* Let's go!!

Thanks so much, everyone!!

@kbois It’s alright. If there's a hockey fan that happens to read my work and it sounds totally off to them, I can change it then. I had a little too much fun with the one sentence and it's happening either way.

I'm looking for a hockey fan generally familiar enough with hockey terms and slang to let me know if I managed to use said slang correctly (or at least with the right connotation?) in a specific sentence. If you are willing to help me with said sentence, please send me a message.

Status Update: Not me having briefly forgotten my GA password because I almost always have it saved and haven't actually used my laptop to sign in for a while. Luckily I found my notes for the updated password before I was locked out.

*GASP* Eeeeeeeee~

Yesssss. Join us, Jason~

If I went by that logic, I'd never have written anything. I've never dated a werewolf, married an ex with a kid, or been hit by lightning. Yet here we are.

Someone's gotta cheer them on.

This was a very touching tribute and a reflection of grief that anyone who's ever cared for someone at their lowest, or lost someone in some way, can relate.

As someone who was a caretaker of sorts (in our Rican family, the youngest tend to take care of the oldest), this destroyed me.😭And I had a severe lack of tissue boxes nearby, so it was a very ugly cry. The skunk shenanigans and family-gossip-hour were much-needed relief. I'm really glad Kenny had Jordy by his side. I don't have a Jordy yet (though in my case it'd be more like a Jolene lmao). I need to find one. Crap. Where was I? Right! I'll save that part for my review. Brb.

Goodness, @northie...I tried more than once to meet a certain word count. Most of my personal stories fall just short of 40k, let alone the "standard" 50k count. I tried fleshing out chapters so far out that they became boring a couple of times. 😂 That is definitely one of the skills I lack, and if you have it and it works to motivate you, go for it! I can't wait to see what yours and @Valkyrie's will be. Mine's going to be full of shenanigans. I just have to figure out which ones are relevant to my melodramatically pessimistic MC. 🤔

Tis a challenge to match the prompt (or, in my case, what the prompt had me hunt for). But once I figured out the tone I wanted to go for, everything else started falling into place. I matched the character to the tone and thought of a theme that would then fit him. I found that randomizing lists of random words until something popped out at me helped. 😂 "Random word generator" gives a similar result, though it doesn't refresh as easily. My method of madness is randomizing things until they speak to me.

I am currently working out my prompt plot...or rather the order of events of the plot and what order to lay it down for the 2024 Prompt Team Event (join us, I triple dog dare you). For once, I am having trouble with what scene to start with, and my scatterbrained mind is not helping one iota by outright SINGING to the scenes "Where do you go? ¿Adonde?"
