Aw, school district WiFi won't let me...I'll have to later. 

Have you read Navani's POVs in the RoW chapters or are you waiting for the release? 

I started to and when I saw that it had Navani in it, I had to stop myself. But it was sooo difficult.

What is your favorite book in general? 

It would have to be Raids on the Unspeakable by Thomas Merton.

Hard to decide. 

On his novellas:Emperor's Soul for the visual. 

For the epic ones, the SA books. Navani is my favorite character so any book that has her there, I'll gobble up. 

It's mesmerizing. 9/10

Nope, I haven't talked with anyone in person lately because quarantine.

The art gallery is doing great! We launched a brand new exhibit called "Electric Youth" last week. Check it out! http://artstalkph.com

I love eating out, and getting massages. Getting quarantined put a stop to that. 

Was it your idea to let us fight to the death and come back to you bloodied and torn so you can pick the last one standing?

I get it now.

Weren't you afraid your throat will burn when you drink it? 

It was a good idea at the time.

Women count as girls too. 

Haha yes they do. It's just, anybody who looks at me, is reluctant to say, "that girl." I look too much like the scariest teacher you ever had in school. 

A Dustbringer.

Welcome to the fold.

I just changed my avatar to just me, because what's the point of hiding?

Recently have accepted that I really need glasses now that I'm getting old, and as my doctor said, "our retinas lose elasticity."

Homo Sapiens 5.0

“What is it?”, the youngling whispered.

“Its outer skin is soft. It has no blades for fingers, or claws. How can it defend itself? Only four limbs. No fangs. No scales.”

The elder said, “It is one of the ancients from the portal. From the time of peace and plenty.”

Sorry I just came from a really busy few months and I just dropped by to find an all-girl thread. With role-playing. What're the rules? Are there any or can you point me to the page where it is?

Oh and I don't know if I should identify as a girl since a lot of you sound young enough to be my daughter if I had kids. 

Opinion - I think voting fish doesn't promote equality. They already occupy 75% of the earth's real estate. What more do they want?

Thought for the day - If Kelsier was an American, he'd have murdered the orange person in the WH by now.

Sound advice - Choosing to eat waffles is the best decision you can ever make today.

That she did. Because if it's not in the calendar, it doesn't exist. 

Funny, I was busy so I recorded. I'm a huge fan of voice typing and voice notes. 

Chronological order it is! I put it in my calendar so I won't forget to have a listen. I'm one of those people whose schedules are ruled by the calendar. If it's not there, it won't happen, or didn't happen.

I like yours! It is very interesting with the butterfly head.

Thank you, it's me and came from my insta lingerie page that replaces all faces with butterflies for anonymity.

Yours looks like Shallan right before she becomes Veil. Can relate! "You cannot censor the gleam in my eye."

The hair color I want right now but I might be too old for it. Color-coordinated backpack? Check. 10/10

Fortunately, he let the chips fall where they may and they fell in a big box of cookies.

Fortunately, it started to rain.

Fortunately, he had some flour and had learned the ways of making homemade noodles.

What’s your favorite type of candy? 

Gummy bears. I know it's made of pig's skin and thinking of that sometimes turns me off. But gummy bears soaked in some form of liquor reminds me of maraschino cherries soaked in liqueur and folded as a layer in dark chocolate cake. Also cute.

Child's Play

"We found them like this", the Director said.

Children's blocks floated above the table, arranged in a cube that pulsated and wavered.

"It appears to be a portal, if I reach my hand in..."

The Directors disembodied hand appeared above the cookie jar, high-up on the laboratory shelves.

 

@Quitecontrary this is a really fun and useful exercise, you really have to pare it down to essentials. Words like Suddenly stand out as the unnecessary bloat that they are. Fun stuff.

Thank you! I like limiters and they're great for forcing creativity out. OMG I haven't been on here in 2 weeks I think. Been terribly busy - new company launch + training season for teachers.

Swordtip dancing was a complete fail as the tip kept getting stuck in the ground.

Here's a chipper little number I call

 

Tell Me About The Future Alexa...

A fount of red sprays across the robots chrome shell.

Every heartbeat leaks life. Over the fading wasteland of asphalt and steel his mind projects daisies in a grassy field.

A metal cockroach crossing his face blocks the robot's reflection in his dead eyes.

Ooooooooooh so grim. Wasteland types.
