I knew that I was in for trouble with the stone because my husband has had them in the past, but it's honestly been worse since they blasted the stone. They cancelled my stent removal because the Dr. has to do emergency surgery, and tried to tell me I would have to keep it 2 more weeks instead of 1, but I took an afternoon appt and changed my work schedule (which I hate because it directly messes up other people's schedules), so it still comes out next Friday. I can't wait for this to be over.
I'm sorry about the panic attack Wolf. Those are also no fun. Did something specific trigger it, or did it just come out of nowhere?
I've never read the Twilight series, and I've only seen bits and pieces of the movies when they come on tv and I'm too lazy to change the channel. I remember this girl I used to work with who was VERY into them (the first movie hadn't come out yet, but was getting ready to) right when I first discovered Warriors - I would have her look up what books were next in the series for me so I wouldn't read any spoilers, and this one day she was listing "Midnight, Moonrise, Dawn, Starlight, Twilight, Sunset" and I was like, "Are these MY books, or YOUR books?"

I was pretty young when I first started reading the books. My stepmom at the time was convinced it wass to big of a read for me, but I devoured the books xD My reward for reading the book through was watching the movie afterwards, I was so excited when the last one came out in theatres. Im not obsessed like i was years ago, but I still find the movies entertaining when im super bored,

If anyone wants to try a really good book series, read the Inheritance cycle. the actual cycle itself is really good. pay no attention to the new book that came out, though. it's worse than starkit's prophecy. and no, I'm not exaggerating. the books are Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr and Inheritance in that order.

Hey, so I’m doing some writing and wanted to ask you guys for some input. What perspective do you as a reader prefer? Third person or First person?

Post by Leapkit on Mar 28, 2020 22:49:00 GMT -5
Third person.
I see a book written in first person and I put it right into the trashcan back on the bookshelf.

I'm with leap on that. Even worse than first person is first person present tense.

first person tense just feels... childish? i don't think i've ever read anything first person that could be taken seriously past a 5th grade reading level unless it's an autobiography.

Third person is preferred, but I'm fine with first person. In both cases I prefer past tense focused on one character rather than, say, third person omnipresent. I'm amused by a good second person too. I like writing it for choose your own adventure stories.

I've finally settled on a structure to write my book in but it may be slightly weird for most people. Third person, following one character each chapter in chronological order. Sometimes chapters will take place at the same time and in two major plot points multiple characters will be viewing the same event. However I also feel it's kind of unique and it still allows me as the author to explore many characters rather than just one or two because all of them are propelling the story forward. The "main" definitely kicked off the first chain of events, but without support it wouldn't be what it is.
That also means there will be two entirely different ways to actually read the story. Chronologically, or by only following one character at a time. Date and character would be mentioned as part of the chapter title to avoid confusion.
I can imagine it might annoy some people and I'll get complaints like "I don't want to read the same event thrice over", "It jumps around too much." and "I hate the way x character is written" but ever since I thought of it I can't imagine a better way that I'd want to convey my world to paper.

There's also definitely characters that will be less present to the story. And one chapter of a guy we never really see again because it's a father losing his child and his own motives and loss around it are important to knowing why him & his child were there and how big of a deal it really was, since for everybody else it was "hey lets kidnap this 12 year old for her magic powers, she can fix it. lol."

Fire the Watcher of the valei think its hard for some people because its hard to escape in the daily - esp for me. I'm surrounded by it all day and so many peoples lives are affected by it brindle; yes. have it. the pizza. my dad made pizza the other day and usually i don't get any. but my brother didn't eat his so i stole it. and then i was still eating it and my dad didn't realize. and he threw it out. i was...devasted

I had pizza yesterday and the leftovers this morning. Not that we even need it cause we are ok on food but we know more places will be closed soon so we want to eat the junk food while it's still available, lmao.

my fav thing is when you don’t see the puke
And you sit it in
At 4am
And you gotta leave for work
And you got only 2 pairs of jeans
And the clean ones have holes in them
Someone also threw up in my bed but I don’t have time to clean it right now (:
