@ToraBrinn impressive!!

[C J Keating - is querying @CJKeatingWriter]

there are words. there are thoughts. Most of the thoughts and some of the words will end up in the finished product...

I had a character I'd called Ha-Kaloumi, but he sounds WAY too much like halloumi and now I can't get that out of my head

New non-cheesy name needed.

the inspiration is lacking this morning but nonetheless I proceed...

@lnmbeck wow speedy! Great job!

@Authw8 Plus an operational limit from how air operations work with fixed-wing aircraft.

Upshot: ships specialise

Star Wars probably has different constraints. In particular docking-bay-launching is less all-consuming than modern carrier air decks. So all-in-one design is a better iea

@Authw8 modern warships have a hard limit on hull size from the Panama and Suez canals. Plus an economic limit from trying to make limited changes to engines/nuclear reactors. Plus a tactical limit as missile damage to any one ship is A Big Deal and can't be armoured against...

@BWheelerBooks Fingers crossed!

Just thinking- was it free? Free events often have really high dropout. Even asking for a £1 fee or suggested donation or something helps people commit to it

my actual CD ROM of Word from 2007 is still going strong. best value purchase.

[quinnie 🖤 @quinnisreading]

hey writers what programs do you use when you’re writing? google docs trains ai with your writing and word is too expensive. anyone have suggestions?

[C J Keating - is querying @CJKeatingWriter]

I think my favourite part of writing is building on your own thoughts. e.g. A character just woke up and mentions she had a dream...

...but they're in a magical location and she is a special person... WHAT DREAM DID SHE HAVE? need to flesh this out. FUN!

[C J Keating - is querying @CJKeatingWriter]
