Noble Dust

I cannot read that. I will lose my mind.

Hoping to read your work soon.

Oh, the "they" vs. "it" thing?

Eh?

Adverbs are truly the worst part of language.

Hmmm. I'm just speaking from experience. "Purely" was probably an exaggeration. How about "often".

Hey now!

That would truly be an unpleasant feeling! :wink:

I'm sure I've said this several times, but I think it's possible to train yourself out of having writers block. As always, my experience is with music...

For some reason the idea of horses coming from a specific location has always been wild to me. It shouldn't be, but it is. It's crazy to think that at...

True true.

You could always just let those luscious locks grow. I think it’d suit you.

Really? ChatGPT is that g-rated? Seems off.

:cheer:

Y’all got this. For some reason inputting that micro story of mine into ChatGPT for awhile helped me relax which helped get re-inspired. Maybe some si...

Draft one is finished thank God. Heading to the mail store to print it out. I don't know why I've never done this in the past. So much easier to proof...

I wonder if you can have ChatGPT proofread stuff.

No such luck. It seems to be a rather mediocre fiction writer.

I've asked it three times to write it in PKD's style and it's no where close. That's strangely comforting. I might have lead it astray though by telli...

What, ChatGPT? Just sign up for an account and ask it any question. https://chat.openai.com/

I agree. "Sly sidestep of the bumblebee" is pure genius, however. I'm going to use that for something somewhere at some point. But it's a bit of a car...

And here it is in the style of Finnegan's Wake by Joyce: Ah, Lorana, come behold this marvel!" Henry's beckon flung her from her own toil, racing bare...

I asked it rewrite Buried Treasure from last December. This was the third iteration. I still like mine better. "Lorena, come see this!" Henry called, ...

Some treasure is better left buried...

:flower:

I say all this as I hit writers block two thirds of the way through my story with two days to go...

That's a bummer. How about a 500 word mini story? I agree.

You didn't hear that. You participated in all of the contests.

Hoping to see another @"Jamal" behemoth this time around...

Philistine!

Come on you fellow procrastinators, we've got this. Some great submissions are already in. 3 days to go.

Or perhaps that I’m not very bright. I need the flagrant bawdiness of Hanny’s jokes to recognize that something is a joke in the first place.

Hmmm. I think I've realized your humor is both too complex and too straightforward for me to pick up on. My brain functions somewhere in the sweet spo...

The buns are in the oven, folks.

A few recent finds: https://youtu.be/3hC8MOYoYQk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FTy5qq4uZk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6bUc0TxmZ0 https://youtu...

I was joking around, Clarky. My feelings on the voting system are well known.

How about: a) It's the best b) It's extremely forgettable c) It's fucking terrible

Uh oh. You know what comes next. Cover Fred's ears.

All of you cucumber lovers will be relieved to learn that today, because of the 95 degree weather in NYC, I went to one of my favorite cheap eat spots...

Yikes. Time to get to work…

You won't be surprised to learn that I agree with you, by and large. I maybe have some small things I would argue, but by and large, I'm of agreement.

No no, you're completely clueless. Don't worry.

You should be banned.

Countless threads here would suggest otherwise.

By and large I think I agree with your sentiment in the thread, but this quote here betrays a misunderstanding on your part, I think. As a former Evan...

:groan: fail on my part. Ah well. Free is free.

Thank you. With your permission I now feel empowered to think for myself. It's a new day in this noble, dusty corner of the universe.

I haven't started it yet. I haven't read Auster; Jamal and I have discussed him, I believe he's a fan, if I remember correctly.

I picked up Oracle Night by Paul Auster at a little free library (I’ve been having good luck with them recently). What say you, @"Jamal"?

Ah, good plan. Have fun, we'll miss your entry.
