@jzpitts Tried to read Moby Dick. Got bored at Chapter 57 with what I felt was unnecessary asides. Same when I got to the History Lessons (Book III) of Les Mis. I'm there for characters & stories and get bored with the rest!
@Jameswriter371 Not at all. I've become more of a hybrid plantser for longer works where I have an outline and some notes to work on but I've regularly (and still do for short one-offs) just write without planning. Those '1000 questions for your character' sheets seem overkill to me!
Found a screencap of the article this linked to (the site is now gone) Insisted you pay £2k for an editor and £1k for proofing if you wanted your book to be of good quality. How many self-published books make £3k, plus the money for a "Good Cover"! Easy way to get into debt...

@ncisverse RIP David 💔🙏🏽
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching you as Dr Donald “Ducky” Mallard
My Mum remembers you as Illya Kuryakin in The Man from U.N.C.L.E
You’ll be dearly missed by many people 😭😭😭
The Castellan raised a #chalice and smiled as a signal to commence the executions. Blue chose that moment to pull the trigger, sending a single bullet through both goblet and crooked smile. She wondered idly whether brain or wine was harder to remove from a dress uniform.

The universe is teeming with original creative energy left over from its own birth: it didn't all turn into mass. Tap into that and watch the magic happen. It's a mighty harvest.
