It helps to have the time and focus to do Octoprep or Nano. This year I have neither. No excuses and I shouldn't feel guilty. I did sign up for "13" but we'll see... so much depends...
...on the white rain on the black chickens...
We did have snow on the mountains. Today is gloomy.
We have various hot springs in our area but busses don't go there.
Will you have fish for dinner or is it catch and release?
I decided to not do Octo-Prep. I have an idea and I started a folder to keep my chapters. That seems to work best for me. I have a basic timeline and theme. I'll just start in one place and go from there (literally, like in my IRL travels) to the next stop and the next lesson my character (me) has to learn. Since the conflict is "discovery" instead of an action-driven arch... I should be fine as long as they logically flow from one to another.
I'll have to return to Thailand and spend time in each location.
Fear is contagious. Fear spreads just like wildfire, one spark from a fearful person and the whole town is crazed.
Drama is preferred these days. Who can get the most views on their page, who can garner the most interesting story to present to the world. Truth is irrelevant it seems. Just the drama is important.
You do assume correctly that the school handled it better, in my opinion. They threw the flame resistant blanket over the problem and extinguished the fire. For now. Until the next crisis. Which will be when all these crazed parents withdraw their students and claim they are now 'homeschooling' them. I see this happening - people threatened to do this.
And don't get me started on the whole homeschooling trend. Some parents do a good job. Great. But others don't and kids suffer. There is no real policing in Montana for homeschoolers. Sad but true.
Do people think that dog-eating black-skinned aliens are out to get them? As in crows versus Crows?
The real issue is fear boistered by fear-mongers.
Here... there have been 'threats' in God's Waiting Room. We can call 911 and ask for MST... someone trained in mental health. Instead of peaceful resolution though... we seem to prefer DRAMA. This free floating anxiety with no existential threat is widespread.
May I assume the school handled it better than the parents?
GhostlyPotato I appreciate your comments and no, you're not butting in. All your points are valid. NaNoWriMo went through a scandal a few years ago, or was it last year? about their moderators. And now this.
Last I knew, we were still a country that allows free speech. Unlike some others in the world.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Other people can like it, or not. But you are entitled to it.
It will be interesting to see what becomes of all this AI stuff.
