@bucksgoggles Hello and thank you!
You were recommended on the sidebar, and since I'm trying not to work at work, I decided to check out your page and followed.

@sarky_devothcka Thank you, thank you.
You could always just work at a 50% pace to make up for it still being half the day left for you?

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

Had a super bad morning and got to work late, but now I have an hour and a half left of work and don't want to work, so I'm cleaning up my idea snippets into something of a clean mess of ideas instead of just throwing them around.

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

always up during the off-season...

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

Definitely going to give myself a D+

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

I even broke out the red pen!
Reminds me of the days I was a teacher's assistant in my senior year of HS.
Let's see how rusty I am.

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

I saw someone mention that sometimes they like to print their chapter off, get out a red pen and edit it old school and now I'm super tempted to do that with one of my chapters coming up.

People who say “I can’t do that, it’s against my religion” are practicing religious freedom.

People who say “You can’t do that, it’s against my religion” are practicing authoritarianism.

@oliversnark I'm not saying yes, but also not saying no…. All I've gotta say is let that creativity flow. 🤭

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

@softshrubhan I keep checking the TSN pages for signings/trades....
It's like the site says, "Dead Dove: Do Not Eat"

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

I'm leaning even more towards Ellipsus, but I've heard it's not good for those who write big chapters?
I'm someone who tends to aim for my chapters to be 5K+ wpc. Is it worth it if the program won't work well with big pieces? Especially if multiple chapters are 9k+?

[Ellipsus @ellipsus_writes]

Whew, we’ve been busy! Hot on the heels of list view for everyone, we’ve added four new Writing Insights for Ellipsus Plus!

Take a closer look at your docs with:

Repeated phrases: Find the multi-word phrases that recur throughout your draft. (For phrases containing up to six words.)

Dialogue balance: Calculate how much of your writing is dialogue vs. narration (and see the difference via the dialogue highlight toggle).

Point of view: See how many sentences are written from each perspective (and make extra-sure you didn’t accidentally switch halfway through!). First, second or third - you can highlight them all in your text.

Punctuation habits: See how often you use ✨expressive✨ punctuation marks per 1,000 words?!!!?!! (Yes!)

(And all without AI, of course!)

Get down ‘n’ dirty with your style (and the choices that make your voice yours, all yours). We wish you luck wrangling those phrases that jumpscare you when you discover you’ve used them 13 times in the same draft!

More to come soon!

Not finished yet, but I need honest opinions...

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

I learned a new technique for proceate... and now my ass wants to do it to my new Fic cover idea...
Now I'm worried it's a bit too much...

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

@arachnophobii1a I was able to do a semi-weekly schedule on my long fic at one point because I had so much prewritten before I started posting.

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

Okay, I'm leaning even more towards switching over to Ellipsus, but I've heard it's not good for those who write big chapters?
As I'm someone who tends to aim towards my chapters being 6k-10k wpc, is it worth it if the program won't work well with big pieces?

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

I have Grammarly. Is it worth having Ellipsus?

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

@yoongiboongs I'm right there with you.
I'll just sit here and read out the other replies.

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

I want to play The Sims 4 again for the first time in, like... over a year.
All the CC I'm going to have to look at and delete or update.

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

... and because I haven't shifted to my therapist's new office, because that's a lot of work, and I'm just a baby.

[McKenna @Hawkbutt]

I tend to kill off Shannon in every fic so I can use it as therapy...
