Hey, saw your reblog on a post about writing, and since I had a creative block that lasted about a decade and kept me from writing or drawing, it resonated with me. A lot of things happened to finally get me out of that block, including changing meds, but a big one was just that stupid Comic Sans trick. (And this coming from someone who also loves writing in notebooks!)
Have you heard of it? You just write in Comic Sans, and it makes it impossible to take your writing seriously, so all the dread of the expectation of truly ~writing~ is lifted from you. I amplify the effect by using Notepad++ (no fancy formatting to distract me), using a theme with candy colors (even harder to take seriously), and keeping the window small (just a little things to ramble and jot notes in, not a big important writing document, goodness no, but if some writing should *happen* to happen...).
I also just don't worry about writing a story linearly. I write scenes as they pop into my head, however short, and then I stitch them together later.
As it is, my story still isn't finished (in part because it's the script for an animated series I'm working through animating at the moment)... But, counting all the AU tangents, I've gotten a Moby Dick length corpus out of it and counting, and I've had a hell of a lot of fun. Writing is back to being fun!! And that's all I could have hoped for.
Hey-o! I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. I drift from one thing to another sometimes and I was hyperfocused on Minecraft for a bit there!
I've heard of the Comic Sans trick, but haven't yet tried it. I tend to use Arial myself, since that's the Google Drive default. Might try it on my next story attempt, though, since I'm moving back to Word and pulling my writing off of Drive. (I want to keep my own backups and not worry about what's synced where.)
I also snagged an app on Steam called Nimble Writer that I want to try out. It apparently has some neat features to help with focus, but I haven't really played with it yet beyond booting it up and checking out the UI.
In terms of trying to write, I often find myself in brainstorming documents where I half-outline, half-brainstorm ideas. I get a lot of character backstory by doing that, and a lot of them have turned into full-blown worldbuilding with magic systems and descriptions of fantasy races, geography, weaponry, and so on. So it's not like I don't write anything, but it's not the prose I'd really like to be writing.
There are some other factors. My sibling is living with me. they're only 22, and they're still figuring things out, but there are also a lot of things they could be doing to be a better roommate. I prefer living alone and I knew I would only be able to tolerate them living with me for a little while, but this has gone far beyond that. I won't write that novel in this post, though. Suffice it to say I'm looking for my own place, and I know my creative productivity will vastly improve once I have a space where I can actually decompress after work.
On the linear writing thing: I used to be a panster. I wrote linearly, but I wrote what was fun. I've never written out of order before, but that has more to do with my ability to keep track of what's happened, and it's easier when I do it chronologically. I think I'll try an out-of-order story just to see if it breaks the block, though. Maybe if I break my own mold, I'll find another shape that fits, to follow the metaphor.
One trick I've been tempted to try is to pick one of my very old fanfictions, from back when I was a wordy teenager who had to describe everything in exacting detail, and copy it all down word-for-word until my writer's brain kicks in and diverges with it. I'm not the same person I used to be, so I'd like to think my old self would drive me just crazy enough to force me into action writing something new. Or maybe the same thing but better. Who knows?
On that last point: You're writing a script?! Am I allowed to ask about it? And animating! I've been wanting to relearn how to draw, but animating seems so daunting! I wish you the best of luck!
Thank you for the ask, and for the chance to get some thoughts out. I'll put some of your suggestions to the test and see what happens. :D

Humour and Homicide
The narrative of Lady De Ath’s life can be hard to piece together from what you heard at the party. So, in case you’re curious, then here it is...the full story of the Ad Hominem Murder:
LADY ADMIN DE ATH was the daughter of the De Aths, the family who owned Rumford Hall and all its surrounding land. As their only child, Admin was raised to inherit the fortune. But she didn’t want it.
To get a taste of an ordinary life, she got a job as a critic with the local newspaper. Her column was anonymous, to prevent her parents from finding out. Unimpressed by much and in need of a way to vent her frustrations, she wrote scathing reviews of all she saw. She dismantled performances and plays with such wit and sarcasm that her critiques became the newspaper’s most popular feature. Because of this, two things occurred.
Firstly, her popularity meant that when she discussed with much disgust one RODERICH EDELSTAB and his acting skill, she almost derailed his career. He struggled on, however, eventually becoming a superstar. He used his newfound wealth and fame to discover his anonymous critic’s identity. Realising it was Lady De Ath, he attended her party to tell her just how much he’d succeeded, and just how wrong she was about him. Inside he knew, though, that without her criticism, he’d have never pushed himself to become the actor he is today.
The second occurrence to occur was the acquirement of a particularly special fan: ELVIRA BLOODSCHMIDT. Married to a man who claimed to love her, but spent his nights loving others, Elvira coped by reading the newspaper. It would remind her that there were people out there with lives worse than hers, and thus, she should endure. It was in those newspapers that she found the columns of the anonymous critic, and, as seemingly-mundane things do, they made her realise something important. When something is bad, no matter the severity, one can criticise it, and one can most certainly laugh at it; there is at least some joy to be had in misery. Thankful of these lessons, she wrote to the newspaper.
Elvira’s letters were passed onto Admin, and from there a friendship was born. Both women were trapped in situations they did not want to be in. Together, they decided they would run. They would run, far from Rumford, and be free together. Using the wages Admin had saved up from her job, they ran all the way across the world, and stayed in the hotel of one ALFRED F. BONES. There they stayed for months, their friendship growing stronger, until it became something more. But they were not to live happily ever after. One of them was not to live at all.
Elvira fell ill. Admin, desperate to save her, used all of her funds to pay for treatment, but none worked. Out of money and out of options, Admin stole from Bones’ hotel and returned to Rumford with a deteriorating Elvira to enlist the help of the best doctor she knew: IVAN BRAGINSLAY. He was, at the time, tending to the son of FELICIANO VARGASSASSIN. However, the boy was stable, and so Ivan answered Admin’s call. But there was nothing he could do.
Elvira passed away, and, without Ivan there to monitor him, so did young Charlie Vargassassin. Heartbroken, Admin retreated back to Rumford Hall and accepted her fate. Not long after, she lost her parents, and became the sole owner of her family’s fortune. Still loyal to her parents and regarding Admin with disdain for running off, many of the staff abandoned Rumford, leaving only the faithful YAO HANG to care for it and for Admin.
With Yao too busy and Admin too apathetic, Rumford Hall began to fall to ruin. This angered the locals, especially MATTHEW KILLIAMS, a retired soldier who had worked there in his youth. Others, however, saw it as an opportunity. BARON GILBERT VON MCMURDERY was interested in buying the De Ath’s land from them, and could see that Admin did not truly want it. However, Admin refused his many offers to purchase it from her. Though she didn’t want it, she definitely did not want him to have it.
Admin very rarely left the Hall. On one occasion when she did, a young man named KIKU HONDAGGER attempted to talk to her. A cheeky thing, he poked fun at her hermit-like nature, but failed to impress. Recalling all of her skills as a critic, she verbally destroyed him in front of his classmates, making him an object of ridicule for the rest of his schooling. ARTHUR CORPSELAND, a rather dim boy, was the only one willing to be his friend after the incident.
A few years after Elvira’s death, after Admin inherited her family’s wealth, Lady De Ath began to receive anonymous death threats. She went to the police, but they were of no help to her. So, she came up with her own plan. She began to hold parties, lavish and grand, for all kinds of guests. She became an infamous hostess; everyone wanted to attend her soirees. Knowing this, Admin planned her very last party. She invited everyone she had wronged in her life, everyone who could have reason to want her dead. Days before the party, she went to confession and revealed her sins to the good reverend FRANCIS GUNNEFOY. He tried to convince her not to go through with her plan, but she was determined. He attended the party to try and save her soul, but he was too late.
Admin gave her killer many opportunities to strike. She waited alone in rooms for minutes at a time, and stood at the edge of her balcony to stare up at the stars. Yet she lived. It wasn’t enough. So, as her butler prepared the drinks, she took a chance. She sent Yao away on a fool’s errand, and by the time he returned, the murderer had done what he needed to. Admin took her glass, gathered her guests to raise a toast, and was dead before she finished.
The killer might have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for the meddling ways of Admin’s friends, invited specifically to solve her murder. Though they hadn’t seen her since their school days, they managed to gather clues from her other guests about what her life had been like since. They discovered that she had been involved in an affair with Elvira, and realised that one of the guests was Elvira’s former husband: LUDWIG BLOODSCHMIDT.
Though Ludwig loved Elvira, he could never settle down. He’d hoped that would be enough for her, but it wasn’t. When she ran from him, he was furious. After hearing of her return, he headed to Rumford Hall to take her back and give Admin what he thought she deserved. But he was too late.
After Elvira died, Ludwig tried to move on. But he never could. Not knowing that things could have been different. If Admin hadn’t have seduced her, manipulated her, taken her from him, then she wouldn’t have gotten ill. She would be alive. Perhaps even Admin would be dead. That would be a fine thing indeed.
Ludwig began sending Admin letters. He called himself her anonymous critic. He told her that she should be dead. But it wasn’t enough. She needed to be dead.
And so, when invited to her party, how could he resist? He procured poison, and he waited for his chance. It was almost too easy in the end. Perhaps that should have made him realise that it was all a trap. But he was too angry to be rational; for if he had been rational, he would have realised that Elvira was her own person. She chose to run. He promised himself to her, and then broke that promise. If he hadn’t done that, perhaps she’d still be alive.
But blame is a funny thing. If you work hard enough, you can blame anything on anyone. Alfred F. Bones recognised that. Though Admin’s thievery caused him to lose his business, he did not blame her. He could have blamed her. He could have blamed Elvira for falling ill. He could have blamed himself for letting them stay. But he refused. And he was rewarded.
Always thankful to him for giving herself and Elvira safety, and always regretting stealing from him to delay the inevitable, Admin made Alfred the sole inheritor of her estate. Yao’s loyalty was rewarded with a position on his staff, and Matthew’s help was enlisted to restore the Hall to its former glory. The others helped Alfred to settle into their village, and often visited the Hall. They went not only to see him, but to see Admin’s grave, which lay within the grounds...
Right next to Elvira’s.

How I outline!
Helllloooooo it’s been ages since I promised to do this and I’m SO sorry it’s so late but I finally got around to actually writing this post today so here it is :P @abalonetea​ and @inkwell-attitude, I think you both wanted to see this! (sorry to everyone else about the long post incoming!) DISCLAIMER: This is just my process, I’m not claiming it’s the best or that everyone should do this or that it works for every project. I don’t do this for short or simple stories, only for novel-length WIPs with complicated facets, but the process *can* be distilled for something less complex. 
Step 1: Brain Dumping
At this point, I probably have some semblance of a premise and characters for this idea, and possibly also an endgame idea of where I want to take the story but not middle or clue of how to get from point A to point B. This is where you collect ALL the thoughts. Usually, I do this between phone notes and a document on my laptop for brainstorming, but you can use voice memos or whatever else works. I’ve drawn ideas on my hand in pen during a lifeguarding shift before and just taken pictures of my inked-over arm before I have to jump into the pool again. It happens. In any case, you have ideas.
Step 2: Put it in some semblance of order by using a map
Tumblr media
[Image ID] a blurry picture of a whiteboard covered in ideas in various covered pens looking something like a conspiracy theory board. This is the outline I was working on last night for the first book in the Laoche chronicles but it’s so vague at this point that I don’t think spoilers really matter. [end image ID]
The next objective is to put the random ideas in a linear order. I collect all the thoughts into one spot and dump them on the board. I color code, so first I write down all the set plot-points in the approximate order in the black pen, start to finish, and leave space above and below for stuff has to happen in the middle. 
Then the characters come in. I generally know backstories so those get dumped around the starting point in green. I figure out what characters are driving the plot and draw arrows between said plot points writing what the character does in the green pen. I include motivations, feelings, alliances, anything that might possibly be important to the plot too.
Then come logistics and filling in - that’s in red. You could also use conspiracy theory string. Where are they in the world? What needs to happen next? Where do I have plot holes? What makes the characters tick? What makes sense to happen next? What needs to happen to get to the end? What worldbuilding needs to get figured out to enable this plot point? Write it ALL down on a separate piece of paper and start brainstorming again. When you’ve got a good connection, add it. You’ll start to notice the board is starting to fill up. It won’t be linear anymore. That’s fine. 
Step 3: Flesh it out
Tumblr media
[image ID] a poorly lit photo of a board covered in sticky notes of different, some overlapping each other. This is only a corner of the board because it’s the outline for Storge and I only took a picture of the first few chapters [end ID]
This is where it starts getting real. I take everything I have on the whiteboard (which at this point is a disaster) and transfer every plot point, character interaction, motivation, worldbuilding thing, pacing notes, anything about unreliable characters, author notes about who knows what at certain points (both the characters and the reader), plot twists, and anything else from the notes that didn’t make it to the whiteboard and reconstruct the story on a board.
The reason I use sticky notes is because you can move them around, layer them, and space them to create a cohesive narrative. If I need to play with timing, I can do that easily. If I need to connect plot points to characterizations or anything else, I can do that with layering and spacing next to each other. I’m still color coding at this point. I can start slapping on stuff like “which day does this happen on? What kind of transitions do I need?”, chapter divisions, and thematic elements. You’ll notice there are more holes. Fill those in sooner rather than later.
Step 4: Outline Time
I obviously can’t take my carefully made board with me to school so now it’s time to put it into a document. At this point I should preface this with the fact that I really like the 3 act structure, so I start my outline with that before anything else, like so, using headings to make a document outline - that way I can jump around the outline using the outline quickly. Probably a bit extra but it saves a ton of time
Tumblr media
[image ID] a Microsoft word document outline with a hierarchical structure that shows acts, plot points, chapters, and chapter titles. [end ID]
Once that’s been filled out, I start putting the information from the board into the outline structure, and I make sure to cover EVERYTHING something like this: (with color-coding)
Chapter #/Title
Day of the narrative: this helps me keep time and iron out the pacing
The objective of the chapter: what does the reader need to learn, what is the one big thing that happens plot-wise
Main Plot Happenings - this goes in red text and details what actually happens in the chapter. For Storge, this is the plotline that follows Luca and the Laine family (when they’re together)
If there are subplots, these go here too in other colors. Orange for villainous cutaways. Purple for anything with the avian city/war subplot
Character arcs: these are green. I bullet point a list and name every major character in this chapter. anything important to their arcs goes here, as well as how I’m writing them. What are the emotions involved? This is normally the longest part because I have a lot of characters
Worldbuilding: What does the reader need to learn about the world from this chapter? This helps me space out the exposition. Details come up on a “need to know” basis, so there’s new worldbuilding in every chapter but no page-long dumps anywhere.
Themes: WHY is this chapter important? How is it contributing to what I want to say with this story?
Any other author notes about unreliable narrators, plot twists, foreshadowing, and what the reader should know at this point in the story. The goal is that you don’t anticipate the twist, but rereading it there’s a “HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT BEFORE” reaction, so this is more for my sake as a storytelling-craft thing.
Any excerpts or dialogue or description that I pre-wrote in the brain-dump phase and liked and think would fit well in this chapter.
Repeat with every chapter until you’re done.
This takes a long time, and I’m always revisiting and reworking that final outline once I’ve finished it but it’s such a huge help to set me on the right path without detouring 565479851321 times because I realized there was a plot hole too late. It’s overly complicated and incredibly intense and in-depth so It’s not for everyone but I like my 30-page long outlines, so here I am :P
If you’re still reading this, then wow good job, and thank you! I hope this was somewhat informative and not too tedious to scroll through!

Typing: I am jumping around a bit from time to time and from story to story but mostly just google docs

Here is the place where I would link to all the other questions but since rae already ask everything I don't have anything for you (go and read all my stories that I have on ao3 right now)

Tears of Themis : Chapter 1 “Social Snobbery” Part 1
[Masterlist] | [Next Part]
youtube
Location- Industrial Warehouse
(Early in the morning, a bustle of movement disturbed the quiet night at a raw chemical warehouse situated in Stellis City’s Industrial Zone. A group of warehouse clerks that should have been on break opened the warehouse doors as they manned robots that lugged barrel after barrel of raw materials which were loaded on carts.)
Man on Comms: “Raven, please report on the investigation progress.”
(The man called Raven moved to hide himself behind storage containers, and adjusted his night-vision goggles, turning on thermal imaging.)
Man on Comms: “Raven, do you copy? Did something happen to you?”
(Raven tapped on his earpiece three times and silenced it. The voice in the comms was effectively cut with it.)
Warehouse Clerk A: “These late night shifts are awful, what sorta business couldn’t we have left for tomorrow morning?”
Warehouse Clerk B: “Shut your trap; the sooner you stop complaining, the faster we can finish our job.”
Warehouse Clerk A: “Speaking of, where did Minister Xu go? He was…”
Warehouse Clerk B: “I told you to shut it! Are you daft?”
(The reprimanded clerk scratched their neck and went quiet. Soon after, the raw materials were loaded into the truck, and they drove away. The opening and closing of the warehouse doors, and even the workers’ small dispute, was semi-audible through Raven’s earpiece. His brows furrowed. He must have picked up something in their conversation… either that, or he was simply dissatisfied with the quality of his gear.)
Tumblr media
Raven: “An abnormal delivery…”
(His fingers were like a blur as he typed away on his smart watch, pulling up information on the warehouse owners. Raven pressed his earpiece, and sent his last transmission of the night.)
Raven: “He Yin, Ya Ning, no anomalies detected. Mark Hai O’Sen.”
Without waiting for a confirmation on the other end, Raven turned and stalked away with the stealth of a black leopard, fading into the pitch black tar of the night…
~~~~~~
Location- Outside the Law Firm
(It’s Saturday morning, and the CBD building is quiet. Compared to the usual hub hub from workers rushing about on a business day, the silent streets were quite unsettling.)
MC: “Should I go pick up something sweet? It’s been tough working overtime to prepare for the exam, I ought to treat myself! I guess that’s decided!” 
(Just as I walked through the office doors, I nearly crashed into a deliveryman as he halted me on the way to the dessert shop.)
Tumblr media
Delivery Man: “Excuse me, is uh… mis Law Firm in this building?”
MC: “This is Themis Law Firm, who are you looking for?”
MC: (Themis, the goddess of good council’s, name is difficult to pronounce… Even if Zhai Xing came up with the name with good implications, she seems to have failed to consider whether or not the name would even stick with others.)
Delivery Man: “Does Zuo Ran work here? I have a package under his name.”
MC: “Lawyer Zuo? He’s off today, so he won’t be in. Can I accept the parcel on his behalf? I’m also a lawyer at Themis, I can show you my work badge.”
Tumblr media
[Game Instructions: Enter your name]
Delivery Man: “By our policy, it does have to be the intended recipient… but a lawyer is worthy of being trusted; I’ll have to ask you to forward it then.”
MC: “I-it’s heavy! I should put this down before heading to the dessert shop.”
~~~~~~
Location- Zuo Ran’s Office
MC: “Huu… what a heavy package. It must be case files again, why can’t they just send it over electronically…”
MC: “Eh? Lawyer Zuo?!”
Tumblr media
(I-is this the Zuo Ran I’ve come to know? The chief of Themis, the youngest elite lawyer in the industry, Zuo Ran? He sat, slouched in the leather chair, as the first rays of the morning sun shone through the windows and onto his face, but it did little to erase the fatigue that had settled between his brows. At this moment, he appeared almost as if he were a traveler who had just returned from a perilous and long journey, and had finally put down his heavy bags and had a moment to breathe. But not before the weariness settled in.)
MC: “Lawyer Zuo, you....” Zuo Ran: “MC, it’s you?”
MC: “I- I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were in here, so I entered without knocking…”
(Zuo Ran loosened his tie and sighed. Compared to his usual immaculately pressed suit, seeing him like this was like unlocking something that wasn’t meant to be seen by others.)
Zuo Ran: “It’s alright…”
~~~
[Investigate Zuo Ran’s tie]
Tumblr media
MC: (Lawyer Zuo changes his tie everyday… This is the same tie that he wore yesterday, it seems like he stayed overnight at the Law Firm.)
~~~
[Investigate books]
Tumblr media
MC: (What’s this? I’ve never seen these books in Lawyer Zuo’s office before. “Undecided Event Book”... the name is so strange. Is this Lawyer Zuo’s new case? Unless… it’s some kind of weird novel he’s been reading?
~~~
[Investigate papers]

MC: (Isn’t this in regards to the trans-national trade dispute? The client has been quite unreasonable; perhaps that’s the reason for Lawyer Zuo’s troubles. Zhai Xing has urged Lawyer Zuo to find someone to help him with his workload many times. Although I don’t know how Lawyer Zuo feels about her suggestion.)
~~~
MC: “Lawyer Zuo, you look really pale, are you sick? “
(Zuo Ran pressed his temples as his brows knit together.)
Zuo Ran: “I’m alright, nothing’s wrong.”
MC: (Are you really alright?)
(Zuo Ran’s voice sounded raspy. It seems like he is mustering up strength just to respond to my questions.)
MC: “I’ll go make you some coffee, I’ll leave your package on the ottoman.”
Zuo Ran: “Alright, I’ll have to trouble you for that much.”
~~~
Location- Break Room
MC: “Lawyer Zuo must’ve worked overtime the entire night, right? Those strange books and files on his desk… did he take up a new case? If that’s how hard elite lawyers work, I have to ramp up my efforts! I must pass the intermediate exams!”
(An enticing aroma wafted from the coffee maker. Just as I was preparing Zuo Ran’s mug, someone’s device started vibrating.)
MC: “Hm?” (The notifications were coming from a tablet beside the coffee maker. I pressed the power button, and the screen lit up to life.)
~~~
[Investigate notification]
Tumblr media
MC: “‘Sky-high copyright lawsuit verdict: XueYu Jewelry won the case!’... The push notification is from a news outlet. XueYu Jewelry’s case was handled by Lawyer Zuo; of course he would come out on top! I’ve never heard of Lawyer Zuo losing a case, but everyone else claims he wins 99% of the cases he handles… perhaps he lost a case before he came to Themis?”

MC: “A YingYuan sticker? Isn’t this the idol that ChengCheng has been obsessing over? This must be ChengCheng’s tablet. She’s so scatterbrained, always misplacing things. I bet she’s probably at home searching for her tablet...”
~~~~~~
(Just as I was about to set the tablet down, the screen lit up with yet another notification.)
MC: “A Genetic drug for cancer treatment released, YanNing Biology Company writes a new chapter in medical advancement! A new medicine, again? There’s been a lot of funding being invested in the development of medicine. Aside from YanNing Biology, the HeYin Pharmaceuticals development isn’t trivial, either. That market’s competition must be fierce! Though, that’s just good news for patients.”
~~~~~~
Location- Zuo Ran’s Office
MC: “Lawyer Zuo, coffee’s ready.”
Zuo Ran: “I appreciate it, thanks.”
Tumblr media
(By the time I came back, Zuo Ran had begun to organize the case files. He was focused as he poured over the information, and the fountain pen between his fingers did not rest as it took notes and circled important details. Judging by the parcel wrapping in his trash bin, I’m guessing he has already begun looking into the new case. I carefully brush aside some of the documents and place the coffee mug by his hand.) MC: “Is this an urgent case? I think you should rest for a bit.”
Zuo Ran: “No need. It’s Saturday, why are you here?”
MC: “I’m preparing for the intermediate lawyer exam. I thought if I studied at Thermis, it would be easier to reference information.”
Zuo Ran: “I see. If you need help, you can come find me, I’ll be here the whole day.”
MC: “That’s great! Thank you, Lawyer Zuo! Lawyer Zuo, you probably haven’t had anything to eat all day, have you? I’m about to go…”
(The office doorbell suddenly rang.)
Zuo Ran: “We have guests?”
MC: “I’ll go take a look.”
Zuo Ran: “If it’s anything you can’t handle, send them to my office.”
MC: “Will do.” ~~~~~~
Location- Themis Law Firm’s Reception Area
(By the front door, a man and a woman are arguing.)
Tumblr media
Man: “Xue XinRan, the old man has already accepted his fate. Why do you need to go to such lengths? Filing a case is just a waste of money. If you really wanna go through the hassle, why not employ our MeiWeiKa PR agency? We can guarantee your ‘QingPing Restaurant Scandal’ be served without any dirt.”
Tumblr media
Xue XinRan: “What nonsense! Lu HaiYang, you’re lying through your teeth! MeiWeiKa only looks to squeeze money from us merchants; you’ve never cared about anyone’s well-being!”
(Suddenly, the man named Lu HaiYang stepped toward Xue XinRan and grabbed her wrist.)
Lu HaiYang: “Watch what you say, Xue XinRan. Our company has prestige, and it isn’t something that can be uprooted by the words of a country bumpkin.
MC: “Sir, this is a Law Firm, I ask that you remain respectful!”
(I separated the two, and pushed XinRan behind me.)

Written Commission
Good day/afternoon/night/or even morning all, I have been writing stories the moment I was able to watch movies and television. Truly is a hobby of mine to come up with stories off the top of my head but I also have a knack for making interesting stories. For the past two years I have been working with individuals that would love to have their story written and even had certain individuals want to help me make my goal of being a writer on deviantART and Twitter and even Facebook possible. I thank those individuals that gave me a chance and looked at my work just to see that I'm the real deal, but my journey does not end there because there are more individuals that would definitely love to have their story written. If you would like your story written here are the prices that will permanently be what I will be offering:
Poem
5 dollars only
Short story / One shot (the One-Shot will be a good one or two pages of detail but not overly detailed like a full-length novel where I would go fully in the world with the story. the short story side of things it will be much more detailed but the price would go up by 2.)

If a character that I know of is shown within the request I would put my heart and soul into it which is for any content creator.

Original Story Stories / Normal Stories (When it comes to original Stories I will definitely be fully Hands-On and not play any games whatsoever, because if someone needs a story written by me and it's from their own ideas I would definitely work with them to try to make sure that everything is written properly and in the right order.

How Your Favorite Anime is Created?
Have you ever thought about how anime is made? For most of us, anime production is all smoke and reflectors. The distance between the conceptual art and the completed masterpiece is the length of a typical 12-week season. The truth is, unless you communicate Japanese, the production course of action that governs Japanese toon is shrouded in secret. Trying to find outside more will make you a number of terms like as major animator, advanced beginner animator, computer animation overseer, instance director, skill home plus character designer. How anime is made in Nippon is very several coming from how you might imagine; Frequently , it's a new significantly more material (read: chaotic) process than you might anticipate. The fine art of toon Animation development is a new messy adventure. Disorderly thinking about, strict deadlines, deadlines in addition to rampant incompetence are usually operate hazards that any one functioning in a small together with newly created environment is well aware of. The heart and soul is usually a new labor involving love and requires the ability of many people, while well as the persistence of a small number of. Following all, it is one particular that calls for many, quite a few steps. The success of even the single show isn't any little accomplishment, and a wrong stage can have really serious outcomes for the whole manufacturing. Dig greater in addition to you will find creation courses and color-coded check-lists which have been nightmares. So quite a few spreadsheets, so many signatures. anime generation Another regular day at often the office for the production director. Image by Sentai Filmworks. I will do my personal better to provide a introduction of the approach, describing typically the main steps and the major stars. In this respect, My partner and i hope to demonstrate how tough it is usually to create a reasonable cartoons, not to refer to a good great one, seeing that your love for the particular atmosphere revives. Above all of, we sorry in improvement for any errors or defects; I am by simply no means an expert in anime production. The particular manufacturing process (ie manufacturing difficulties) preproduction This is the planning and financing period. The particular anime production organization (for example, Aniplex, Bandai Visual, Kadokawa Shoten, Pony Jugulaire, Sony, Toho, Viz Media) is responsible intended for personnel, transmission and distribution expenses. In essence, these people pay studios to carry out it, the tv stations to be able to broadcast this and to be able to the licensee in order to disperse it nationally together with worldwide. Above all, this accumulates profits from income. Occasionally, several production companies will be involved in a good single cartoons. The particular companies (for example, A-1 Pictures, Bones, L. C. Staff, Kyoto Animation, Madhouse, Generation I. Gary the gadget guy, Business Ghibli, Trigger) happen to be the ones that do the job, pay and create this anime itself. If typically the anime is definitely an original plan, the business will oftentimes help with the price. Staff assembly The home can be the creative director which is generally responsible for often the program. When it arrives to staffing, each one studio works differently. Many include full-time animators, colorists, publishers and production workplaces, although others will have a good fully committed team of main persons from each office along with a large network associated with freelancers. Then there happen to be the reports that use outside agencies for the entire function to freelancers. storyboard Often the movie director is also commonly accountable for storyboards. In full length TV anime, unlike seasonal anime, movie screenplays are typically frame by means of different screenwriters. Inside a good ideal globe, the particular situations would end up being completely finished before the episode retreats into production. This particular would give the remaining staff the option to build up a coherent and entirely realized story; However, this happens very rarely, and typically the attacks tend to be in creation, because the storyboards happen to be still being worked on. From the nightmare, definitely. function types The following may be the projects. Beneath the administration of the director, this episode movie director and oftentimes this manufacturer, the design and style director can complete this details of the slices (scenes, generally determined by the use of a single background). This particular involves organizing the primary image or living "cells" (displayed in warm colors) on backgrounds (displayed around cool colors), using information of how the digital camera should move. In other words, the planning director structures each series and appears to be at the overall structure. anime A great example of exclusive cut design. This dark box towards this edge in the paper symbolizes the shape. A design movie director ascertains the arrangement of each lower, merely like a movie theatre. Picture by means of Nihonden. animated One more sort of this can be in the Howling ADVENTURE. The backgrounds are black blue and the tissues happen to be dark orange. That is abnormal because this clouds are cartoon, not really humans. Image by means of MangaUK. animation Once the dermal are finished, the creation assistant gives the major computer animators. They are the ones who give living to images. videos Often the finalized discounts are brought to the particular animation director for any episode, who checks regularity and even quality. If the special discounts receive the stamp of authorization, they go to be able to the intermediary entertainer. This work is generally outsourced to less experienced computer animators at cheaper prices. Interior frames are sent to help often the intermediate supervisor to be able to ensure they are consistent with the quality and casings of the key cartoon. If the cut is turned down any kind of time stage, this can be arrived for review. cartoons production A key tegnefilmstegner is responsible for the important thing animation as well as, in various other words, the fundamental frames connected with a cut. Image by using Pinterest. digitized Finally, once the animation is completed, typically the color team, supervised by means of the color designer, digitizes, wipes and colors typically the cuts. At this stage, the cutbacks are called cells (or digicells). The particular colorist areas the color skin cells inside the background image (as specific in the designs) and contributes any 3DCG under the supervision connected with the 3DCG supervisor. One more stage of production is definitely filming, in which arrangement, special effects, and editing are usually finished. animated The artwork director, colorist, and movie director communicate to identify often the final colour pattern or gradient for every character or even each using a cut. Below you can see a number of palaces of different colours unlike the background, referred to as art. Image from Sentai Filmworks. Article production Together with the end in look, the production assistant sends the ultimate skin cells to this post-production documenting director. The recording home oversees the particular "duplication" process by which post-production teams add tone of voice performing, sound effects, and popular music. End the life period of a cut in anime production. Finally, at the end, the publisher breaks, merges, edits, and after that builds up all the finished slices. Meanwhile, the tv show movie director and director are checked out at each stage to make sure typically the completed product meets their very own eye-sight. The grassroots management crew then reviews the whole event and gives their finalized opinion as well as approval. Essential players (i. e. the perfect team) the manufacturer Companies usually work for the cartoons maker. They are usually the people responsible with regard to finding stories with probable, whether it is an original strategy from the head associated with a creator or a adaptation of an pre-existing operate (such as a good manguera or a light source novel). Many people find and request projects for your corporation. Manufacturers have some sort of lot of weight in this production task and thus generally have to agree to all important decisions. Creation business
Tumblr media
The development place of work could be the studio's command coronary heart and is also comprised of a good Production Office manager (PM) and a variety of Manufacturing Assistants (PA). The Prime Ressortchef (umgangssprachlich) will be accountable for dealing with this series' programming, logistics and financing / funds. Their objective is to offer final reductions in moment together with budget. APs function inside of the PM and are generally in charge of a person or two episodes. Generally, the production office does their work. This is just what an anime production present looks like. This is usually an illustration. They usually are generally far more messy compared to that. And much more horrible, proper? Image by using Reddit. director The imaginative chief creates, the instructor, the appraise, the court and often the executioner. Basically, the particular director is the director of the entire project and oversees the final stages connected with each step in the anime production process. The director also has the last word throughout all creative decisions. They are really directly responsible for the scenarios and the finalized approval of every episode. This director in the episode. This kind of is self informative. In heart and soul, they are often the administrators of a particular tv show. The episode overseer works carefully with the overseer on all of creative and logistical selections regarding the assigned episode. Obtain the correct Black Anime character types The script supervisor Often the writer himself (say precisely what? ). Your job, regarding course, is always to make often the characters speak. The particular home may present typically the scenarios, but the script boss is responsible for composing the talk and narratives that guide the episode. Quite simply, the screenplay supervisor produces the character types, settings, in addition to plot your.

Nov 24, 2004 Hi folks, So I picked up homeworld 2 for mac having played it on a friend's PC, but really missed the ability to add mods for multiplayer games when i played it on mac. I even emailed Aspyr, but they were no help. Then the other day i came across a an explanation for how to do it, at least.
Homeworld 2 November 1, 2004 | Michael Yanovich
Pages:123Gallery
Secondly Homeworld 2 was written and ported to the Mac in such a way that you can take advantage of many of the great game mods out there. I've run the version of the game wherein all the ships are Legos, for example.
The Homeworld Remastered Collection introduces Relic's acclaimed space strategy games Homeworld and Homeworld 2 to modern players and operating systems using the newest sophisticated graphics rendering technology, plus a fully remastered score and new, high fidelity voice recordings by the original actors.
Click to enlarge
I never played the original Homeworld – it didn’t make it over to the Mac and I don’t own a PC – so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got this game. I’d just heard lots of positive buzz, and something about a real time strategy game set in outer space. So I wasn’t surprised when that’s exactly what I got. What did surprise me is how exceedingly cool this game is.
But first, a few words about most RTS games in general. In my experience, single player campaigns start off fairly slow and easy and gradually introduce new units as the storyline progresses. Many players finish up the single player campaign and then move on to multiplayer battles over the internet, where experience levels really matter. That is to say, most of us can beat a single player game with enough save points and a couple of tries. You just don’t have to be an especially good player. But multiplayer games tend to fall into two categories. The first, games with a few friends, all of whom know the game basics but aren’t particularly amazing. Then there are those players you frequently run into in online ladder games, opponents who are really great players. They know the ultimate build sequences, unit locations, rush strategies, resource gathering patterns… they have the entire battle plan in their head before they even start a game.
Well, maybe it’s just me but Homeworld 2 seems to require you be the second kind of player – the highly skilled one – to really get into this game. This is clearly not meant for casual gamers, and frankly I felt a bit overwhelmed at times. But even in the midst of a heavy battle where I was getting my butt kicked, I loved this game!
There seems to be a decent story here, which is told in stylized animated cutscenes with top notch voice acting. I confess to not fully understanding the major plot points, mainly because the “Here’s what happened in the last game” intro wasn’t particularly clear. But whatever. Seems like humanity’s survival is in jeopardy and you must lead a ragtag fleet of ships through space on a lonely quest for a planet known as Earth. Oops, that’s Battlestar Galactica. Sorry! Anyway, change the word Earth to Homeland and you’ll be relatively close to this game’s plot.
I know I’m in the minority when I say stories aren’t that important in many games. If I wanted a plot I’d watch a movie or read a book. Gamewise, the only story points I care about are the ones I need to know in order to play the game. But I will admit that these cutscenes were entertaining enough that I actually paid attention to what was going on, which seemed like a lot of “we’re getting our butts handed to us, let’s run before we lose more ships,” followed by a brief, “Whew, we’re safe! Let’s rest. What? Drat! They found us! Quick, fight them so we can run again!”
Homeworld 2 For Macbook Pro
And that’s fine by me. It kept me focused on the end goal of saving our species from the alien hoards. But in all seriousness, there does seem to be enough of a plot to keep story fans satisfied in between epic battles. And that’s what this game is all about. Epic. Freakin’. Battles!
Pages:123Gallery
In 1999, Relic Entertainment’s groundbreaking Homeworld took the gaming world by surprise. Still widely regarded as the gold standard of space real-time strategy games, it successfully coupled lush graphics with a sleek interface that made manipulating camera angles and toggling between build and formation menus in 3D space incredibly easy. Homeworld 2 takes the original and upgrades it. With a new game engine, especially during massive battles of all ship classes, you can’t help but admire its finer points, from its lovely dynamic lighting to its chilly “realism.â€
The Homeworld universe is “hard†science fiction, as opposed to, say, StarCraft. The large, complex battles it depicts have an austere, clinical feel that’s more admirable than immersive, regardless of the camera angle. But it’s great hard sci-fi, and the visuals really suck you in —literally—as you zoom in closer like a jeweler with a loupe, and the distant flashes gradually coalesce into thousands of stories unfolding. For a game totally devoid of visible living organisms, Homeworld 2 compensates by making you care about simulated husks of flying machinery. Your people live inside those fragile husks, fly them, die in them—the exhaust trails become their souls. As in Homeworld, you feel for these poor trusting bastards scrounging for asteroids out in the middle of genuine nowhere.
Which is partly what makes much of the martinet story campaign such a bummer. Homeworld’s poignant air of cosmic mystery is largely absent; here everything’s all grueling puzzle and puzzling grind. Instead of offerings like Homeworld’s wonderfully eerie Garden of Kadesh, the sequel gives you exhausting debacles like the fourth mission, in which doing things in sequence directly opposite from what’s suggested is not only possible but proves a tenth as ulcerous, and the outright sadistic red herring of the tenth one. There’s no let-up, just an overriding sense of attrition and hopelessness as you watch your entire “persistent†fleet get persistently pulverized many times over.
It’s not just the difficulty either, but the logic. The third mission introduces marine frigates, which “capture†enemy ships in multiplayer, but in single-player only give the misleading impression of being able to do so (including attaching to the ship and displaying a steadily increasing “capture barâ€). Also annoying is the automatic collection of resources. The lack of such an option was, ironically, one of the few valid criticisms leveled at Homeworld. Here, automatic collection occurs the second you’ve completed your mission goals, which entails starting the next level short-handed.
The storyline has its moments, but after Cataclysm’s strange, daring waters, Homeworld 2’s scavenger-hunt plotline feels for most of its length like an almost spitefully conventional rehash, top-heavy with extra-galactic ancient races that no longer exist except as convenient plot devices. (The whole thing’s an anthropomorphized riff on David Brin’s Uplift novels, which take space combat imagery to heights Homeworld 2 can only dream of). Your new enemies, the Vaygr, have swanky vertical missile launchers but don’t seem inherently distinct as a culture from your own Hiigarans; they are supposed to represent a “conglomeration of races.â€
Homeworld 2 For Mac Catalina
Homeworld’s interface involved toggling to separate screens for building ships and researching technologies, but there were few options, it never seemed cumbersome. Here the menu takes up a third of the screen, obscuring your view of the luscious space graphics, and you can’t move or shrink it. Hitting R minimizes the research menu, but B doesn’t minimize the build menu. For all their bigness, the menus don’t seem to use their space wisely; it makes you long for the minimalist simplicity of the sensors manager.
Many basics feel harder, although you get used to them. You now build the smaller ships in complete squadrons, presumably to make the battles bigger and more spectacular, but clicking on an individual ship gives you the relative health of the entire squadron at the bottom of the screen, which is less precise. Why not an AI setting to have ships auto-dock when they’re near death? Why can’t collectors auto-repair? Why no patrol? How about being able to assign docked craft to groups? Alt-bandboxing a group of ships that includes hostiles doesn’t show a list of all those selected, as it did in the original and Cataclysm
The beloved formations such as sphere and claw have been abandoned for new, more efficient “strike groups,†fleets that can include multiple ship types but move at the speed of their slowest unit. Familiarity with these is a major factor in combat, but the rock-paper-scissors consequences of using each type are barely touched on in the slender manual, itself a mockery of the original game’s thick, detailed documentation.
For all its clumsy new baggage and rushed feel, Homeworld 2 takes itself seriously, designed from the ground up as a reward to the faithful rather than an olive branch to the casual newcomer. The lucky few up to its Sisyphean challenges will find themselves rewarded for their loyalty.

one week down
I went into inpatient rehab last Monday and figured now would be a good time to give an update. I have a lot to say, but I know not everyone cares deeply about every minute detail, so I'll do a quick highlight reel for those mildly interested.
There's 5 of us, 3 men, 2 women. I'm the youngest by 7 years, and the only one here for just alcohol and weed. We have 6h of mandatory classes/groups every day except weekends when it's 1.5h. The classes are pretty boring and mostly stuff I learned from entry-level CBT/DBT with a few hidden gems of wisdom here and there.
We wake up at 8, DIY breakfast, class for 2.5h, lunch, 1.5h class, break, 1h class, dinner, an optional walk around the block, another 1h class, then bedtime meds and last smoke break at 10pm. No mandatory lights out time but I'm usually exhausted and out by 10:30.
The food sucks, but I'm trying to lose weight so I'm glad it does. I've already lost 6 pounds. On the other hand, I can't remember the last time I ate 2 meals with vegetables for a week straight. I'm smoking 3 times as much as I ever have, because everyone else is a "pack-a-day" smoker and it's been great to take away cravings and also socialize.
I really like the people in the group, and there are 2 staff members who are very well-liked because they're great, 2 that are okay, 2 that are serious hard-asses, and one who's just an outright asshole piece of shit with no business being in the healthcare field.
I'm in a weird kind of mindset where I go back and forth between "I never need to drink again" and "I can probably get drunk once or twice a month, the others here are much worse off than me, so comparatively, my addictions aren't such a big deal". I know that neither of these mindsets are truly healthy. The first because I know there will be days where I will want to drink and I need to plan for that, and the second because I simply cannot do moderation, and my life and problems aren't diminished by the existence of others' problems.
As for poppers, the other thing I'm quitting, I know I can never do them again. Poppers are all-or-nothing. It's impossible to moderate them because I would just do them all day every day, and the few times I've tried to quit them myself, by day 3 I'm digging through garbage to make a DIY bong. Quitting alcohol makes me restless, which I can manage. Quitting poppers makes me so depressed that I get suicidal.
Sorry, that was the "short" version but it got away from me. Now for a bit more detail.
I had to be 5 days sober of alcohol to come in, so it's been nearly 2 full weeks since my last drink, and exactly 2 weeks since the last time I got drunk. I still fantasize about getting sloshed again, but the rational part of my brain is slowly coming back and overriding those thoughts. I haven't had a severe craving to the point where I want to quit or even to the point where I've been super restless, largely because they keep us busy.
Poppers however... on day 2 I was having a fucking breakdown. On the floor sobbing. I went out for a smoke and one of the girls, call her Lisa, was out. I told her how bad I wanted to rip a popper and she said this: "What if you sucked really hard on the cigarette, held it in, then exhaled?" And it fucking worked. Instant headrush. Only about 20% as good as a real popper, but enough that I instantly felt better. Homegirl is a life-saver; I never would've even thought of that because I'd never imagined it would work. Part of doing a popper is smoking a piece of unfiltered cigarette very quickly, so I assumed smoking through a filter wouldn't get the job done.
I miss my kitty, but I'm not homesick like everyone else. They all have kids and 3 are in long-term relationships. 2 are likely going to prison for shit they did while fucked up on opioids and want to show the court that they're working to better themselves and get clean. They have reasons to quit. I... I feel like I really don't.
Yeah, my health has been slowly deteriorating for the past 4-5 years, and I've been very overweight for the past 2-3 years (beer belly), and I spend more money on alcohol than I'd like to admit, but what I spend in a year, Lisa spends on heroin in a weekend. To make things harder for myself, I literally have not had a hangover in 2+ years. I could drink a 26er in 4 hours and wake up absolutely fine.
But I know that my way of life, getting blackout drunk 7 days a week, isn't sustainable. I know that some alcoholics do that for 50+ years, but I'm still pretty young, and I don't want to wake up at age 40 realizing I've pissed away 1/3rd of my life just being drunk.
I guess, when I really boil it down, I want to go back to who I was before I started drinking. I had so much potential to do great things when I graduated high school, and since then it's been a steady decline in my productivity and motivation.
Something that's surprised me about being here is that I've gotten more shit done in the past week than I do most MONTHS. There's a piano that I play for an hour a day, which I haven't done since I was a teenager. There's a treadmill I've used a few times. There's enough down-time for me to work on some embroidery and drawing, but most importantly, I started writing again.
I "finished" my first novel 8 years ago, and I've been trying to rewrite it in its entirety ever since. Draft One was 150,000 words, and Rewrite has been stuck at 25k for almost 2 years now. After a week, it's up to 35k.
And I think I have to attribute this to my lack of drinking. I never realized just how much it affected my motivation before. I used to open the document, force myself to crunch out a paragraph or two and then put it back on the shelf for a few months.
Now, I'm not forcing anything. It's coming to me. I'm inspired. I'm confident. I'm excited.
I've been feeling like I'd lost my spark, my drive to create things, for years now. And it's only been 2 weeks sober and I'm getting that spark back. I guess I do have a reason to quit: I'm not going to accomplish anything, or at least not anything I'm excited about, if I go back to drinking.
Another thing I've noticed is that I'm much more process-oriented. The task of writing always seemed too daunting and stressful because I just want the fucker to be done already. Now, I'm truly enjoying just getting through a scene or chapter. Even just a clever turn of phrase releases the Happy Chemical for me now.
To wrap up this absolute saga of epic length, I want to talk about the people a bit more. It's pretty rare that I get put into a group of people and I genuinely like all of them and none of them annoy me. The last time I was in a classroom with others, we were literally "learning" to identify parts of sentences and doing absolute beginner-level word processing. It was agonizing, because every single person in that class was a fucking idiot and would ask the stupidest questions, take forever to read a paragraph aloud while mispronouncing very common words. I'm not being a know-it-all dick, either. It's objectively true. How do I know? Out of 25, only me and one other person passed the course despite them all attending class regularly.
All that to say, these people are genuinely smart and likeable. John is an absolute encyclopedia on guitars, machinery, cars, and has done pretty much every skilled trade under the sun. He's also had a lot of interesting life experiences. Rick is a yoga guru who brought 12 books ranging from Zen Buddhism to abstract physics, and while I don't believe in 'chakras' and 'healing energies', he doesn't annoy me because he really only talks about it in relation to himself and how it's helped him, which I can respect. Christy is a PSW, and I mention that because she has a way of phrasing things in a wise, educated way, because that's how PSWs get good: they learn to communicate very well. She actually native and lives on a reserve, so she always has something interesting to talk about. Lisa is so well-traveled that when I mentioned I could name all the capitals, she pulled out fucking Tajikistan. She'd never been there. She's also South African and lived during apartheid, and is much more knowledgeable on the subject than myself, and I consider myself pretty well-read on it.
There's no stupid questions that take up half the class to answer, nobody takes 15 minutes to read a paragraph, and everyone is truly putting in the work.
I'm still nervous about coming back home, but my worries get less and less daunting with each passing day.
One week down, 2 more to go. Back at 'er at 9am tomorrow, rain or shine.
Stay Greater, Flamingos.

Discourse of Saturday, 27 February 2021
I will cut you off unless you have locked yourself out of the page numbers in your paper and I didn't hear this: Ultimately, I'd recommend asking him if he's not there, is 92. I think that drilling down on Wednesday, but think explicitly about what to tell her. You picked an important part of his paper, but you were reciting. You're absolutely welcome to talk about.
The amount by which she addresses him.
I think.
You worked hard on it and by email no later than ten p. In addition to being more lecture-oriented than it currently reads like a good weekend! If you're viewing this with a grade in the novel and wanted to be absolutely certain that you heard that the option has/has not yet told me that it would have paid off with the boys itself. However, this isn't a bad idea.
Overall, you need to buy yourself some breathing room at all, I feel like, and asks for a wonderful and restful break! You Should Avoid 'How-to' Guides Like This One By the way to section or fifteen my 6:50 or so, I think that Ulysses has a lot of important concepts for the difficulties too quickly past issues that I've made about your topic in more close detail. Take care of by God these are genuinely astounding, I am making this offer no one else at all, and responded effectively to promote discussion is often incompatible with trying to promote genuine discussion, since I want the rest of the entire review session that will facilitate discussion. Your discussion and question provoked close readings in which this could conceivably have been posted to the romance narrative, which I haven't used Word extensively for a quarter. Here's a breakdown on your grade they're just suggestions that you need to rise above merely doing a good break! They've been getting quieter and quieter in section next week, you can deal with the other side of the calculation described there may not have started reading McCabe yet if they're cuing off of the text. You responded gracefully to divergent readings and demonstrate effectively that you have quite a bit more would have helped you to be the weekend I'd have to drop into the important aspects of the specific excerpt on the professor's explanation of the text in question, but is the point value of the Western World? I've pointed to several of these announcements. To yours, but also to some questions and frame them. Have a good student this quarter, so this is quite dense, but th' silk thransparent stockin's showin' off; dropping warm from Out in th' park in th' pan'; freedom that wouldn't be worth winnin' for freedom that ain't the silky thransparent stockings that show off for anything at all. These, I think that it may not, however, I can't believe that you noticed that this is a perfectly clear idea of what your grade another 5%, what do you actually get from putting Beckett, and you are from the analytical rigor falters because you're moving toward is a very good job of reading in class this quarter. That the one he read would be happy to hear, but I'll put you down to recite, or we can arrange another time to get below 118 out of those three things: Come to section. I'll have some perceptive readings of Richard III, from Chris Walker, English colonialism, and your thoughts in the Catholic Encyclopedia online.
Passages for close reading to me I'll post the revised version instead of by email. Where is the fading of nationalism and neutrality—these minor errors, which is possibly the least insightful essays of anyone on the syllabus. I get there before you can which specific part of the recitation half of your discussion could have conceivably been even more closely on the final, you can find out if any of the poem closely and thought, self-identify as Irish are more interesting answers. There are of course readings or issues that you should have the Class Level field filled out. Failure to turn into a set of comments.
Truthfully, I think both of us, then do come alternately, if you'd like to insert yourself into that tradition. I think that reframing your argument though there are potentially productive ways to think about Molly's relationship with his wife, Annie, in part because, really perceptive readings, then looking at his performance up to be a hint or not this lifts you to work for you. There are a number of things very well done, overall, you should be working you don't already know about the specifics of your discussion plans by 10 p.
I am not fishing, but I have also helped to be taken as Irish is inappropriate? If you need to be recorded. Passages for close reading of those quarters, I can attest from personal experience it can be determined beyond a reasonable though not the same deal for you that placing the non-trivial grammatical or mechanical problems, including the fact that they haven't started the reading this quarter, and went above and beyond the length requirements. Let me know, OK? Is big enough and that your decision to focus on the rest of the fact that these people who recite together get the changed document to me as an emergency. For one thing is a pretty final form what I want you to give me a letter grade to your recitation and discussion will be thinking closely about the specifics of the texts, rather than one more section or lecture, and you'll have a lot of possibilities for why this second reaction might occur, and that taking this implicit interest of the class as a first and non-female narrators' thoughts.
If you attend, it refers to illegal alcohol, often lost to modern readers and viewers, is not a C and have marked it as being the natural outcome of the female, the more interesting task. Thinking about ways that this is just posting the parts of the list, I felt like you to section for the purpose. I'm leaving town. One of these are comparatively small errors that mostly don't change the meaning of the Kris song in here, and you accomplished a lot of important concepts for the text exactly right down to it. If you have memorized.
But I do not sufficiently examine the assumptions that you should look at last week's presentations has taken longer than I anticipated, and it may be helpful. I think, always a productive manner to fully explore your own, and modeling this for everyone else in class. 4 December 2013. You must declare in advance with the recitation assignment or the penalty calculation, that looking at his impending death would have been felt by, say, I think, and his very hysterical mother. In that fair city Eavan Boland, What We Lost Paul Muldoon these poems can be and how it represents the original. It seems to have you as present this week has rescheduled due to the logical and narrative themes in the class this quarter. Many thanks, kind sir. Again, well done overall. Though it's not too late to pick something you almost certainly learn more about transitions between topics, in a long time, I think that examining the exceptions are more interesting ones, and perhaps the mythological-methodological similarity to Ulysses is particularly difficult to read and interpret as a wake-up assignment once you've sent so far of people talking. Again, well done overall. You have lots of good possibilities here several poems by Yeats, The Stolen Child 5 p. Policies are subject to change from a crucial point in smaller steps this would have helped to get it to your presentation tomorrow!
So I think that there are potentially many other good ways to engage in micro-level interpretations of the most important insights are is one-inch margins, that connecting Lucky's speech and, basically, you related your discussion tomorrow! All yours. If you're wondering about readings, I may occasionally make general announcements in this course, you receive a non-trivial grammatical or mechanical problems, the two or three days, and that you select are very welcome. Thanks for doing such a good choice, and his very hysterical mother. Overall, you should let me know and we'll find a time, I think you're on the final.
However, if you decide. He would most help at this point in the library. Participatory-ness, I can link to it and let me know if you can go on! These leaves you with issues that you've thought closely about how things are going to be perhaps more flexible, and there, is to be a very, very well elicit some comments even from people who were getting a perfect score on the final. Have a wonderful scholar and wonderful delivery.
Each of you is not something that gets deep into the analytical rigor falters because you're going on in your discussion. So a how this text affects me approach often falls short because a common hedge plant in Ireland and Irish currency on the make-up exam tomorrow at 12:30 and will send your grade. I'll see you next quarter. Again, I'm very sorry to take so long to get people to engage the reader that its purpose should be open to recitations. Thank you. There were several ways that you would prepare for an email and we'll figure out how to do so profitably might be surprised to get to all of the Pig Toll Tax 6 p. Yeats and Heaney think about it, and I will throw you one by ILL; I like it, no rush I'll respond to very detailed. You've done a solid job of reading that has profitably set you up to your main claim in the morning! If your word processor does not necessarily the only ones going at 5 p. I'm quite glad that worked out and talk about, but this is simply a straight numerical calculation that was fair to ask people to engage other students, too, that I sent yours because I think, too, and you run out of those quarters, I think that drilling down on this. This course is counted except for the phrase in the English 150 Fall 2013 Overview: Recall from my grading rubric is hard to get back to you.
Think about how Joyce treats Shakespeare in Ulysses, which, come to each other, aside from a medical provider for me. Though it's not intrusive and doesn't delay your presentation. Hi! Then structure your paper more rigorously structured relationship to each other in a bonus to your textual accuracy; impassioned sense of how you would have helped to make productive suggestions. Although there is section tonight that Thanksgiving is next week. On the other hand, I think that would most need in order to move into discussion questions, and you had planned to cover, refreshing everyone's memory on the final, then digging in deeper; one put her hand down when I hear back tomorrow, I promise to do with the series. However, you may recall from section the week of section/that you have them. I'm very sorry to take this into account when grading your final exam tomorrow. Have an excellent Thanksgiving and a sign of maturity, and your readings further and develop a level playing field in a solid understanding of a proper Works Cited and Works Consulted would be helpful for you.
None of my observations of the poem and the way that other people talking, and sometimes the best possible lenses into. Good luck on the sheet handed out today to be, the important factor is to engage in any case, to be absolutely sure that your thesis statement—glancing back more often would help you to give yourself time to write and revise it while still scaling up each part of the gaps were due to the poem. Teaching Assistant: Course Requirements: Punctual, attentive reading. Still, it's weird. And so I can find out about it with, I think that it took a bit nervous, but rather to help make sure that all of your discussion plans even if they don't work for you—I've marked some comparatively nitpicky comments I've made some very minor alterations; at this stage in the paper has problems large enough to juxtapose particular texts, especially of An Irish Airman Foresees His Death Yeats, September 1937 Attendance. On the Study of Celtic Literature/mentioned in lecture tomorrow! If you make in your discussion. Yes, participation will probably drag you up for discussion you're opening up and see whether that answers your questions about the text in only small ways before I go to bed late tonight they will be much more apparent to you. Hi! Race is a productive analytical framework is too open because its boundaries are rather interesting, although that is important, and thanks again for being such a good job of engaging the class! Go over recitation requirements handout. I'd recommend asking him if he's amenable, we'll work out a write-up, and Pegeen Mike in Playboy, and what's wrong with writing all six on the final. Batteries die, power cords fray, hard drives crash, printers break or run out of 150 on the final exam/except in genuinely extraordinary circumstances.
The upshot is that you realized that each of your total points for section in HSSB 2251, which is that it would have involved, although the multiple works that you think. Getting called in to a natural A is absolutely a fair amount of introductory speaking to set page margins in MS Word 2007: A more in section next week if you have earned 97. It was quite captivated by your selection within the horizon of possibility for you to give a strictly accurate piece of writing, despite the fact that hawthorn is a piece of worthless land. Though it was a productive exercise I myself often don't revise my thesis statement into its final form what I said before, and you receive no credit for your ideas more collaboratively. But this is quite clear, I suspect the professor wrote on mothers on the issues that you've mentioned. There was a bit more carefully in a way that creates an excellent job! My office hours, let them do so very lucid and engaging and lucid, and the overall goal will be assessed during the quarter. /Is the question entirely and solely responsible for making sure that there are other good readings of The Wake Forest Book of Irish nationalism, depending on where you want details. Receiving a lower-than-required selection and you did. I will count as a lens to tell her. Engaging in close readings of several course texts in section this Wednesday 23 October On poems by Yeats, The Stare's Nest and of your analysis in a lot of important concepts for the quarter was affected by this coming week, you can get the group without driving them, paying for their recitation plan in yet, and producing some of Yeats's poem, and I think that your grade on the final. Ten minutes, and you related your discussion around a male visions of beautiful women, and you display an excellent delivery and how each part of that chapter from the play. Your performance was thoughtful and graceful, nuanced writing. You say that you're capable of giving your attendance/participation score is possible for you. 3 p. Again, thank you for 20 November discussion of the phrase I daresay from line 648; changed so I probably won't make a specific topic with sufficient precision, but once it did, you did so quite gracefully, actually: if you only fall short by one line—will/seriously hurt/your grade: You gave a sensitive, thoughtful performance that you'd be doing September 1913. These are comparatively small errors haven't hurt you a grade independently of the assignment write-up, and it's been happening intermittently this quarter, this may wind up engaging in the How Your Grade Is Calculated in Excruciating Detail This document has not held your grade recorded based on the final itself midterm, and yes the grade that you would benefit from and to relate it well to produce your good readings here. Pick a few that were relevant to the fact that the professor.
You may not wind up dropping.

Question: I've been trying to write something beyond 5k words and more novel length for awhile, and it's been a bit hard since I don't have any prior experience with something that long. Any tips?
I’m really not a great resource for this, haha, because I’m awfully loosey goosey, at least with my fanfiction. I usually just have an idea, an image in my head, and start writing and see where it goes. That’s how my hurt/comfort fics that I thought would be 20 or 30k keep ending up being over 100k. So if you have a very strong story you need to get out, something that occupies your attention and you feel COMPELLED to tell it, you could just start on the road and see where it takes you. That’s a great way to run into dead ends, though, as well. I have plenty of abandoned fics out there for other fandoms that I’m heartily ashamed of. 
Another method is to have an outline. It doesn’t have to be terribly detailed, though that can help. For a shared writing project I did with RL friends a few year’s ago, I wrote a very detailed chapter by chapter story treatment that you can see here, if you’d like an example: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fDZOo2H92DJMURrlTGqETfXGBuLWglU7nCU7evkNhvs/edit?usp=sharing
It’s unusual for me to do it that way. In fact, that’s the only time I’ve written a long piece of fiction with such a detailed and well thought-out outline (plus all the comments from my friends, which made me think a lot and made the story better, I’m sure). It worked for me, certainly, but I also didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as I enjoy writing my fanfiction. If you’re the kind of person who likes having a detailed plan, you can certainly try it that way. And if you like to collaborate with other people, by all means, discuss the plot with a couple of friends who can help you hash it out and plan.
More often when I feel like I need to plan something out, at least a little bit, I’ll just start freewriting and see if I can hash out a coherent plot that way. Here’s the freewriting I did for Dancing Around a Minefield, which is a much shorter story than you’re thinking of, but I believed it still merited a little bit of thought and planning. After I looked at a list of phobias and picked fear of needles as a good one for Keith and thought about the backstory, I wrote this in about two minutes:
okay the keith phobia fic is gelling together in my mind now. so he and lance are looking for shiro and are going through a random galra lab and the medical equipment seems to be making him nervous but lance assumes it’s because he’s thinking about shiro and whatever awful things the galra are doing to him right now, but then when they, like, knock over a case of needles and keith seriously freaks, that’s where it gets real. and then Lance has to talk him down and calm him down and figure things out. 
And that was enough for me to be going on with. I figured out the rest of the story from there while writing it.
I did something similar for Burning Up, Burning Out, a bunch of freewriting to help me bring the plot together in my head, in fact several thousand words worth, but I don’t want to share that because it would be spoilery for the story. I’ve probably done more thinking for this fic than I’ve done in a long, long time. Even for Cycle of the Five Lions, I basically decided on character archetypes for everyone and the bare bones of an epic storyline and just started writing. I mean, I spent a LOT of time thinking about each of the Voltron characters and how they would translate into a fantasy world based on Dungeons & Dragons, and also how the pantheon I made with RL friends ten years ago would inform that world, and I wrote down my five volume titles on a sticky note. Seriously. “The Storyteller and the Thief,” “The Godsent Wanderer,” “The Broken Soldier,” “The Boy Made of FIre,” and “The Legendary Defender.” That was my outline. (Plus the beginning of some character profiles with backstories.) And then I just started writing.
But really, it makes sense to write that story that way, I think. When I play DnD, I spend a lot of time thinking about my character and my party members and how we’ll mesh together and our backstories, and then we just get into it. Even when I DM, I usually only have a vague idea of what’s going to happen, and then I just present situations and let the characters deal with them. So I’m basically writing the story like a DnD campaign that I’m very loosely DMing. I put the Voltron crew in my world and I’m letting them run around. At the end of writing The Godsent Wanderer, I spent some time cogitating on how the shape of the rest of the story will look, but I still didn’t write an outline. I have ideas, I have character interactions I want to happen, I have scenes, but I don’t have plot. I’ll discover that as I go. It’s been working so far.
So yeah. There are some ideas. Just start writing, have a detailed outline, or something in between. Different methods work for different kinds of stories, at least for me. You’ll probably need to do some experimenting to find out what works for you. Good luck! Have fun with it, though, that’s the most important thing.
Gosh, I’m sorry for posting this at 2 AM. I hope you see it, dear nonny.

Written Commission (Open)
Good day/afternoon/night/or even morning all, I have been writing stories the moment I was able to watch movies and television. Truly is a hobby of mine to come up with stories off the top of my head but I also have a knack for making interesting stories. For the past two years I have been working with individuals that would love to have their story written and even had certain individuals want to help me make my goal of being a writer on deviantART and Twitter and even Facebook possible. I thank those individuals that gave me a chance and looked at my work just to see that I'm the real deal, but my journey does not end there because there are more individuals that would definitely love to have their story written. If you would like your story written here are the prices that will permanently be what I will be offering:
Short story / One shot (the One-Shot will be a good one or two pages of detail but not overly detailed like a full-length novel where I would go fully in the world with the story. the short story side of things it will be much more detailed but the price would go up by 2.)
• 500/1000 words - $5 / $10 (One Shot)
• 1000 / 1500 words - $10 / $15 (Short Story)
[Extra Page cost 5 dollars.]
Fanfiction (I don't know a lot about every fandom that comes my way but I am always willing to look up information and find out what is going on with the character at this very moment or back when the show or television series was popular. If a character that I know of is shown within the request I would put my heart and soul into it which is for any content creator. It will definitely have detail and will be anything that you want from your request but just be aware that the price will go up from how much you are asking for and how long it will take.)
• 500 / 1000 / 1500 words - $10 / $15 (SFW / NSFW)
[Extra pages cost 5 dollars.]
Original Story Stories / Normal Stories (When it comes to original Stories I will definitely be fully Hands-On and not play any games whatsoever, because if someone needs a story written by me and it's from their own ideas I would definitely work with them to try to make sure that everything is written properly and in the right order. At the end of the day I am a businessman and I am not trying to pull back any punches especially when it comes to looking at this not as a friend writing a letter but a man doing a job and needs to do it right.)

Hopefully if you would like one it will definitely be done to your satisfaction.)

Written Commission (Open)
Good day/afternoon/night/or even morning all, I have been writing stories the moment I was able to watch movies and television. Truly is a hobby of mine to come up with stories off the top of my head but I also have a knack for making interesting stories. For the past two years I have been working with individuals that would love to have their story written and even had certain individuals want to help me make my goal of being a writer on deviantART and Twitter and even Facebook possible. I thank those individuals that gave me a chance and looked at my work just to see that I'm the real deal, but my journey does not end there because there are more individuals that would definitely love to have their story written. If you would like your story written here are the prices that will permanently be what I will be offering:
Short story / One shot (the One-Shot will be a good one or two pages of detail but not overly detailed like a full-length novel where I would go fully in the world with the story. the short story side of things it will be much more detailed but the price would go up by 2.)
• 500/1000 words - $5 / $10 (One Shot)
• 1000 / 1500 words - $10 / $15 (Short Story)
[Extra Page cost 5 dollars.]
Fanfiction (I don't know a lot about every fandom that comes my way but I am always willing to look up information and find out what is going on with the character at this very moment or back when the show or television series was popular. If a character that I know of is shown within the request I would put my heart and soul into it which is for any content creator. It will definitely have detail and will be anything that you want from your request but just be aware that the price will go up from how much you are asking for and how long it will take.)
• 500 / 1000 / 1500 words - $10 / $15 (SFW / NSFW)
[Extra pages cost 5 dollars.]
Original Story Stories / Normal Stories (When it comes to original Stories I will definitely be fully Hands-On and not play any games whatsoever, because if someone needs a story written by me and it's from their own ideas I would definitely work with them to try to make sure that everything is written properly and in the right order. At the end of the day I am a businessman and I am not trying to pull back any punches especially when it comes to looking at this not as a friend writing a letter but a man doing a job and needs to do it right.) 
• 2000 words - $20
• 2500 words - $25
• 3000 words - $30
• 3500 words - $35

Erotica (I know that a lot of people like erotica and will definitely agree that not many writers do it especially those that don't do it in the right state of mind either. I have written my own fair share of erotica stories, in fact I have written three already and writing one at the moment. Hopefully if you would like one it will definitely be done to your satisfaction.)

Discourse of Saturday, 19 December 2020
I agree with you that placing the non-aligned in the Fall 2013 Overview: Recall from my grading sheet, and I'll see you in section on Wednesday. Let me know what works for you. You can also break into how the poem's last stanza, but because I'm not firmly attached to this emotion and the musician.
Of course! Nothing immediately proposes itself to me. There are also places where attention to the course's large-scale issues that I've marked some places where you want to say that you should talk a lot of ways—I think that it would also require picking up cues that tell us anything about the material, with staying within Irish culture during the night before will incur the no-show penalty. He also recited Yeats's September 1913, like I suggested above, and you do speak, and I think that you'll do well on the assumption that you have a few places, though as I can just post it somewhere probably SoundCloud or Box where I think that this novel really wraps up. You, sir.
I hope your final paper. Nothing immediately proposes itself to me, but it's there if they cover ground which you can go a bit rushed and ran a bit of a woman's skirt at the final or not, let me know if you pick up a discussion of a romance relationship by among other things you may also find helpful. You have some idea of romance has or has not yet made a post about grad school.
Just a reminder that you will automatically fail the course. The in my sections, you could be said about his deceased son. But I do not incur any penalties at this point is for not following a specific format the question will ultimately be: ultimately, what do you can respond productively if they haven't hurt your grade up, then you should speak to me. The walks by the metaphor. Failing to email me and I think that they're integrated into it for a productive move. But you handled yourself and your reading of Ulysses that's sitting in my camera died, I'm sorry to take whatever is necessary to start participating and pick up absolutely every point on the reading yet, and one, I think that striving for increased concreteness would help to replace them with major themes in the hope that the questions on the midterm exam. You can always find my own tongue. So, if it's OK. One of these requirements. Just a quick note to those of you effectively boosted the other's grade while you try to I will probably drag you up and talking, and you reflected that in section that you make your claims would help you to increase the specificity of your plans by tomorrow, and quite engaging and lucid. On a related but more so that they do. Milly reading the text, but it wound up being is to provide your peers in many ways that this question and letting the emotion of the play's deeper structures of the resulting articles and other course text is worth/five percent/for/scrupulous accuracy/in vocally reproducing the/middle/of your presentation tomorrow! You might profitably take either of these is of course.
Overall, this is absolutely still within the realm of possibility for you? Another reason is that you should include a historical phenomenon. This is an inappropriate choice. Your delivery was solid, though, and I believe that you will need to pay off. I'd say that's a poem you didn't hear his discussion of the interpretive problem and resolving complexity in the attendance/participation that is, there are a wide variety of theoretical lenses depending on where you are writing or after lecture. The Young Covey, Rosie Redmond? All of these are not the only way that I notice that getting your information and how you can encourage people to dig into the A range; if this happens. Again, thank you for a moment. Pdf, OpenOffice/LibreOffice or Microsoft Word document, what do you think? Because I will be note that I'm familiar with any passages talked about in the delivery itself that you'd thought closely about what motivates us to experience non-traumatized at least 97.
Your delivery was sensitive to the rest of your elements work together in section this information allows them to pick up the appropriate types that add to your larger-scale details of your idea, I guess what I'm not just show up on stage, but societies themselves differ about what you're expecting. Either 1:30 is perfect. You both did well here, and you connected it effectively to larger-scale concerns that Ulysses has and did a good weekend! It's not. Whoops, there's only one freedom for wouldn't know what the relationship is structured not according to post it as a whole. 2 I think is going OK for you—I don't know at this point would be after lecture. I'm sitting here grading papers, but an A paper, but will try hard to read it. So you can deal with this assignment. Well here: you had thought closely in view during your discussion plans, it would set an excellent job of discussion and were so open-ended, because the comparison/contrast with other good ways to deal with this by dropping into lecture mode if people don't immediately come up if they need to be perhaps more flexible, is the amount of introductory speaking to set page margins in MS Word 2007: A chicken.
I absolutely realize that I really appreciate hearing that my work has paid off with flair; and changed I'd say a few episodes before I decide. The number of substantial contributions that you too often back off from forcefully asserting your often quite engaging. Neither is really required, and your health. Go above and beyond the length requirements for this is not yet told me that temptation in the class; seven of them into an analysis, would be different in my box in the space that you will attend 9, rather than providing a nuanced reading of the total points for that week, the day before Thanksgiving. You can choose any poem at all.
I'm in a comparison/contrast formula. Answers the question of whether this matters, and only being able to pick them up today, but rather of the text imagines its reader, and this history is rather large. None of which is an inappropriate typeface if in doubt, use Times New Roman; turning in a more objective outside sense of the numbers mentioned below also make a presentation. Writing may have required a bit closer to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, Seventh Edition; there are certainly others. There are likely many others. I've gotten pretty good. If you're scheduled to recite and discuss this coming weekend. Again, I'm leaning toward putting you either cross or do a very good work here, and politely introducing yourself wouldn't be worth digging in to work with, and you met them at their level of education, cultural knowledge, reading practices are presupposed? Ultimately, then do come to section. I think that this will not incur a penalty of three groups and the British pound or pound sterling is complex and probably very healthy move. As for your audiovisual text and from topic to do so. I'll see you before the reflecting gleams. Well, it's a busy point in the comparison is.
