hey everyone π how are you all π
I had a headache from start to say middle of the day , yesterday hours picking fruits in the rain maybe it had an effect on me today which I thought isn’t scientifically grounded haha who knows π
So been to shops a little , been on walk and got back to writing something little by little each day π and thought I should read books that fit my genre so I search online and there was lot of free options π though most books in my genre on this site was about people who can be wolves (not werewolves) and have pack life’s ect haha π I was shocked how many books about women transforming into Wolves there are π
So I stuck to it – got to the start of the 8th page on a book about Dragons and women who has to meet the Queen and all this royal stuff is put on her duties ect , very confusing at times and I felt my writing maybe better just with like how words are used (trying to learn to be more active vs passive) and like types of words but everyone says great review and I just got tired before the Dragon part so well have to keep going π
Second was about this woman who’s Uncle I think is super rich , he collects lot of artifacts and she is in this job she doesn’t really enjoy but little things keep her going through the day about like how I feel at times π
Its got to do with like spectral ghostly things connected to these bones from a dig but I haven’t got to the cool bone part yet haha again little tired of reading through.
I really am interested in bones in addition to crabs and the book cover was sweet bit purply and skull on like a box so I hope the writer is interested in bones too to a cool degree although I understand it has like ghostly stuff about it
The Website is called BookRix π and I just searched free scifi books and you should find it near the bottom.
Dragon Dreamer is on the 5th page (slider) of Science Fiction section which also has My Protector on that page which I am interested in check out a wolf like story just not a million haha π and I like the book cover and name of it π
Inverse too I might check π and Abort Abort Abort π
Attack of the Giant Chickens haha π sounds good haha
I cant seem to find the other book – Box of Bones currently but there’s tons to check out if you like to read online sometimes π I seem to do better online reading than physical book and there lots of variety short stories to full books I would assume π and yes 50 wolf stories haha but a whole range and some classic stuff like from natural world, Pokemon , Power Rangers,Β Frankenstein ect so give it a go π
Online Library – Read Free Books & Download eBooks (bookrix.com)
I had a good laugh with my best buddie about story ideas , fantasy , dragons ect craziness for our stories and I know this is book section but I didn’t want to intrude this in the Sofa or Winchester currently due to important things there like the great talk about the Charity π
It was good to go through this site, yes tones of wolf stories but nice to see writers who kept going and from the dawn ground up to sharing a story and the reviews like a little community π
Dragon Dreamer by S. G. Ricketts and Box of Bones by Kat Thomas π
I’ve wanted talk about this too and I forgot cause I ramble haha – I’ve spent yesterday and maybe others researching Crabs ect like I’ve said but today woah even with a headache I’ve just done a digesting day haha searched these free books to learn π watch soo much Youtube today about character design , sympathy for the monster , the history of the big head alien , speculative evolution , fitting creature into the environment , stuff about lord of the rings , maybe was 30 mins I forgot about Dune vs Star Wars whats better and soo in-depth the language of what he was talking about and the future of humans and old history, I don’t know how much I’ve learned today cause I deleted some videos cause I felt embarrassed to watch them like this guy drawing this scary art for like an hour like stuff with skin missing , his advice about teeth just wow though most stuff for techniques I didn’t like what he said and others say the opposite of him but some good ideas to think about in there , this female Youtuber who draws these actually too creepy its terrifying art , lot of stuff today art, lore of cultures, society , the abstract and philosophical and a little about giant crabs in films haha π King Kong and Zilla too plus the classics like Frankenstein π ooo and stuff about femininity in story about this cool film and this recent tv show I guess in simple to learn be who you are and help others , maybe your not strong but that shouldn’t stop you doing good and looking after people if you can and want toΒ don’t underestimate yourself πΒ , gruesome design just crazy and its all like dinner to eat and absorb for the good of the book or story for it too grow π
So go out have a day well maybe not as long but if you wanna write do it and take all inspiration you like and this is the book section that website is good , good to read to learn π
Thank you π
Take care everyone stay positive hugs π

31 December 2023 at 18:02 #75201hey everyone π π how are you all π π
I’m not sure if Fan Creativity or General Book Thread is the ideal location
I am planning to get back to writing and write at least something (for my story or other elements) every day of next Year π
I wonder if I will have a book worth of words by the next year haha π
Perhaps I’ll work on completing a full chapter and slowly piece by piece show all of you here the chapter like sharing piece by piece of a whole cake π
Take care everyone have a lovely New Year stay positive hugs health happiness and love π π π π

2 January 2024 at 00:04 #75218hey everyone π π how are you all π π
I was in a bit of a rush haha and not perfectly happy apart from the ending part I felt was getting somewhere but I did say I will write something each day π
We had lunch , family leaving , long time at Dericks then my Paradox predicament haha but I got something just trying to start somewhere and here it is
Story 23:56
Crissy stood at the base of the cliff , Luna looking from the edge below swung her backpack around , reaching for the torch – the cliff’s lower edge was carpeted by thistles , a perfectly reliable fuel to light , though Luna true to her name was too connected with nature to do such a thingI stopped at Midnight and yes its quite a rough read haha just against the clock you know and had to start somewhere with some words I liked even a lower section to a base doesn’t make much sense but perhaps Luna is hanging onto the side or just a funny shaped mountain haha π
Take care everyone stay positive and healthy hugs and love π π π π

2 January 2024 at 12:11 #75222hey everyone π π how are you all π πI wasn’t sure what to do currently so I just started watching all of Jed Herne’s YouTube videos from the start of his channel been learning little writing advices in like simple understandable way π
I’ve kinda realized now my main character though kinda snappy and like villainousΒ actions and traits I guess traits ha has like some key elements of generating sympathy I didn’t even realizes I was doing story and character wise so that’s good and happy maybe my character can be like this and still loved by readers π
So far 4 videos in π and yeah some sweet lessons π
Take care everyone stay positive hugs happiness health and love π π π π

So day 2 ha and like again was at Dericks house a lot of the day with new friend Joao joining little later π
And so by time at home was listening to Derick , then like watching T.V. , listening to writing advice ect , then X Factor in a way was on T.V. and I got side tracked haha and again in a kinda of rush but now its a new day I might just carry on π
But this is what I got and it was very different just like more trying to be emotion based / philosophical and drawing on my own experiences but I don’t know maybe it is a weird little chunk I was kinda scrabbling with myself you know to make sense of like what I was writing like as I was going along
Sometimes maybeΒ (as-well with the rush to write before midnight) I just like get going fast and like don’t think of any plans you know just see where the words go what I was thinking you know so maybe I do have to work on that π

Stardust settled into the corners of Luna’s eyes , destiny rang in her mind , her own story her own quest for her Father , in secret against the nature’s desire . A desire that comforts followers but tears chunks out of those who refuse, the dominance tipping when they refuse themselves …Thank you everyone π
I kinda like this little show and tell thing but obviously if I find a way like I was telling one of my life long friends π I have to learn how to write more and like for longer in continuous connecting patterns basically/
I have wrote tons and tons before in like paragraphs ect but I mean like finding a way to keep focus and carry on like from one scene to next that’s what I need to improve on but in a way just starting fresh each time its kinda cool like you never know what you can write when its fresh you know (unless you have key scenes ect you know of) but yeah like with this crazy nature thing I didn’t expect that and yet here I have wrote it π
Maybe just learning a balance between – planned / continuous scene to scene and random see where the start goes π

3 January 2024 at 20:27 #75234hey everyone πΒ π how are you all π π
To start – My previous message in film section about Triple X Radical Mission film – I tried to post that yesterday (well Early Morning) which explains the time I talked about it and going out tomorrow – I’ve been out but yesterday my post wasn’t sending through properly so now I’ve copied and pasted what I wrote yesterday back in and got rid of the like error text jargon cause of copying and yeah hope that make sense just when you read that post – it was early this Morning 03/01/2024 – and I have done the 9am going out plans π
So I was awake 2am nearly 3 I guess this morning and wanted to stay in bed – had a shower and flew out the door pretty much running down the hill to chase the car haha π
We all 5 of us have been out all day since then shopping ect ect – Only got home at 19:14 (7pm)
Long day fun day – I didn’t see Molly actually this Morning cause was flying out the door but all is happy now π love you Molly π π π π 20:20
I actually am here in the book section cause I found gold dust or like if I met Hugh Jackman that would be an equivalent too π
We been to tons of shops had restaurant meal by the sea ect ect busy day as I said and we went to the book shop as Derick planned π and I was feeling like bit empty and slow for early morning reasons so I kinda wasn’t super interested while in the book shop and then lightning and like I was like woah – I told Derick to like check the 3 books and like if we buy 1 at a time that’s ok with me I told him cause it would cost a lot to get 3 books but I was literally feeling like buzzing and like it was amazing π
I found in this Portuguese book shop the one were couple weeks or months ago I found all the classics like A Christmas Carol ect all the classic books you learn of in school famous classics (so I knew this book shop was good) but today we saw a Poirot book which was funny cause Dericks’ Mum gave me the Orient Express book when I went to their house some days ago upset and just wanted to read and we all like those films and books about Poirot π so it was funny telling Derick ah look a Poirot book π
Bur I found and I know long story short – all 3 (each book in the trilogy) of Brander Sanderson’s Mistborn series woah woah woah woah – the moment I saw the name Brandon Sanderson on the book that was it that was my pick and I was soo awake and like amazed π
I love that author – he is super talented , kind , teaches others how to write books better – I watch his writing videos (in addition to Jed Herne as mentioned yesterday) all the time and he is one of the most popular and respected authors of the modern day I was soo like amazed as a fan as a writer myself and knowing of him – watching his videos laughing at his Star Wars jokes ect and all my respect for him and its amazing books I am soo like over the moon into the next galaxy
Seriously for people who love books (espically fanstasy) or know of Brandon Sanderson you can hopefully understand π
I’ve found an author I know (can connect with) like well and know his books – I bought all 3 thank you soo much Derick and I am soo sure I will enjoy them and for once in my reading struggle life I am going into a book knowing this is my cup of tea and hopefully I can learn soo much reading the books and then going back to his videos and understanding more the plot elements and characters he speaks of and getting like an upgrade in a way of learning this is how one of the best authors in the world does it
3 books wowow π
Happy indeed seriously I soo happy I was buzzing and Derick is soo sweet always has been but wow I was like I will cook for you to pay you back haha like soo kind he is and this is like soo caring like I said to him I knew all 3 would cost a lot so was like could be 1 at a time and come back but he was like we get all 3 and he said when we walked out the shop that I’m like one of his favorite people he’s met this year and I deserve it wow much love π π π π
So here we go eventually step by step page by page one of the best book series/trilogies in the world (the Mistborn series) by one of the best and most acclaimed authors of our time and really from what I’ve seen and heard a generous/kind loving person and husband, soo amazing I am not trying to boast about having the best books ever or such I am just soo wowed and like this is amazing and soo happy to share with you all and please check Brandon Sanderson , his writing advice videos , his books , the lessons other authors learn from him ect he is amazing and hope one day you all will find and read his books π
Derick and me were like while I read some he can too (or after) cause 3 books and I am totally happy for him to read these books like its a treat I didn’t expect such kindness and it would be amazing for him to read these books and understand to my love and respect for Brandon Sanderson and to have fun cause Derick likes reading too π I am totally happy to share these amazing books with him π

Here we are again ha – was a real struggle to actually keep this going and not flying off the rails cause worried and sad about Melda but I can slowly fix that starting tomorrow π
I wrote some more and like again maybe I am being stupid with limiting myself to such little time and pushing myself to think fast but stop at midnight instead of carrying on but here we go
I sneezed on my laptop screen by accident of-course haha aren’t all sneezes accidents unless you like smell spicy things right they cause sneezes ? but yeah after the sneeze it was kinda going smoother then I think the philosophical took over towards the end I literally cant remember much of the ending oh well , step by step and see what happens I know this isn’t like a pro way to write or make a book but for now I like this little start and stops to just see what I can think of without thinking beforehand π

Love , love is the goal , stardust and Luna lights cant bond grow or heal love, Crissey’s appeal was love though .Dustin. loved the mystery more the lab rat that chewed her way out, if this world was crumbling away shutting down, could Dustin grow love and know it would die the next day. Fate is for thinkers, destiny is what destroys us. Husk couldn’t see the Sunrise or a crescent glow of that bubbly round satellite, a friend who’s eaten all the Christmas dinner Dustin thought. Husk didn’t know the taste of high luxury ((cuisine)) , Husk was a brain in an armored shell, but slowly Dustin was sorbet (ing) him into his tool.I had to quickly think of the main character’s name cause I didn’t wanna leave it blank when showing you all on here and forgot where or if I even had a proper name for the main character is some other document so it became Dustin at the moment ha π
Wow tried to get the spelling for sorbet (ing) and found cooking classes in Portugal yay 00:07 π π π π
Wow learned a new word 00:13 by accident cause spelling Cuisine complelty wrong I somehow spelled a totally different word almost correct haha π π π π at first I thought I spelt it fully correct that would be crazy amazing but still wow π
My accidently spelling and attempt to spell Cuisine -> quisence and the correct spelling of the word -> quiescence
Where the double bracket is in the story (( )) the word in middle is cuisine after fixing spelling but at first I wrote quisence
I don’t think Sorbeting is a real word I just got like the normal sounding word and Sorbets but no like action version so just putting (ing) next to it for now in case it is a proper word which I haven’t been able to find
So new words learnt by writing a story that is lovely π π π π

I started writing early today but didn’t get far
Currently home 22:27 was at Dericks but I am writing now and wanna try to carry on the scene if I can that I was writing this Morning π
I’ve learn soo much about the eye today just from a single sentence and learnt even more just now thinking what do you call eye movement and learnt of soo many specific words ect π
For example
And earlier today all about eye diseases , the insides , the entomology just soo much from a thought about vision π
eye movment name – Search (bing.com)
Other but not all examples of stuff I found out about earlier in the day π
Eye Eye Captain π
So today a single sentence in the morning was all I’ve written and the follow up connecting piece now but I found all these just from a tiny piece π π and wonder π π
09:45 04/01/2024 π π π π
Stardust was rotting cermeneted in the eye
22:23 04/01/2024 π π π π
Phantasmas of neon and electrified blues darted the dance of eachPS – As can tell I saved around half 6 when we went to Dericks house for dinner and games and was super nice but the first part about Stardust that was all I had from 09:45 till then haha its one of those days but trying to carry on now π
This is all I’ve wrote so far today on a day I started early haha but yeah just found soo much about the eyes its fun
I said previously writing about a giant crab π (Husk) really game me / opened my eyes haha π a like freshness about writing again but I also love these little moments π when you make a phrase and think of what how does that work or find a ((completely)) random word by accidental spelling as was the case the other day or researching the entomology and meanings of names ect that all just really I love it π and you can get more and more ideas layerd on a delicious cake from it ha π
Ps there is 3 spellings that all seem soo close and I’m genuinely confused
I spelled it wrong cause was typing fast ((compeltly))
I think its the 3rd option but soo strange how 3 words are soo close to each other and I fast ((initial)) glance before noticing the extra l near the end I would of said option 1 haha
1 Complelty
2 Competently
3 Completely
Also the word ((inituaiol)) Initiation ?
Words haha very confusing at times π

Wow an 1 and 12 minutes ago from my last post time fly’s
I tried writing this section over and over I have multiple screenshots showing changes haha
But I want it this time how it is cause its probs the most of written so far this year π and I am quite enjoying the scene just trying to work out better words better visuals you know to set the scene and shape Luna’s character π
So here it is now right now and the little piece before that I wasn’t really happy with so started a new scene
23:20 04/01/2024 π π π π
Stardust like chillies but inteleigent and captivating
23:21 04/01/2024 π π π π
Luna glanced at the shop keeper, his tatered robes and the selection of veg hobbled on the shelves behind him was of little comfort to her, it would be common to pity someone like this throw a coin and walk off. A small occurance of Luna’s Mornings that had faded from what it once was. Luna knew she was cable to sleep walk into the market and hault on her spot, a precise spot where chilled mud dipped, stamped with Converse boots precioion like a signiature from Converse boots where you could always find Luna prints she always stopped at , Luna wondered if the trees were fake, but who would build fake trees these days, seasons would pass them by as if they were rock and they would always look the same. The market seemed dull and still like a painting for preschool, though to Luna it was precious in the uniquie fact that someone could take a photo there and do that day after day and you would have the same man, market, and fruits staring back at you. it was more frequent to Luna than bones in Luna’s life, sneaking out the castle gate bef
Mudfruit doesnt even grow in this climate Luna thought
—-
I mainly was working on the areas like the one about sneaking out the caste, especially the foot print section and Luna’s thoughts about the market and the camera idea π
I know its rough , I am actually trying to fix it and keep going this time π I am enjoying this scene and I don’t know if its how I write (often I write big chunks π and or keep going with a scene changing words ect ect) but recent times I’ve struggled to get a lot on the page maybe cause of time constraints but just feeling like I get 1 scene write what I do and done you know basically no extra adding or tweaking
But now I feel back to it maybe cause I kept trying to improve the scene like to have it make sense ect and that meant I naturally kept adding to it and started to like it cause I was changing it to better, the way I liked and more time investment so I do feel I am getting back to it back to writing π happy I wrote a lot and was pretty easy this time especially when looking at the first section about chillies haha this was sweet and easier π
Thank you everyone take care stay positive hugs happiness health and love π π π π

5 January 2024 at 01:03 #75255hey everyone π π how are you all π π
I worked on the scene , was a fast fix at first but then some elements took time but I really love it
Sometimes a simple change or word makes all the difference or knowing when to cut an ending to a sentence π
I know maybe not all is perfect (have to work on that Mudfruit sentence too) but I really enjoy this especially my fav part about Luna’s Days at the Market that whole chunk after I love π
Luna glanced at the shop keeper, his tattered robes and the selection of veg hobbled on the shelves behind him was of little comfort to her, it would be common to pity someone like this throw a coin and walk off. A small occurrence of Luna’s Mornings that had faded from what it once was. Luna knew she was cable to sleep walk into the market and halt on her spot, a precise spot where chilled mud dipped, stamped with Converse boots precision of a signature, always 4am you could find Luna were she always stopped. Luna wondered if the trees were fake, seasons would pass them by as if they were rock and they would always look the same. Who would waste money to stick fake trees into the ground these days. The market seemed dull and still like a painting for preschool, though to Luna it was precious in the unique fact that someone could take a photo there and do that day after day and they would see the same man in the same corner, with the same fruits on sale and the market stalls stretching far back each stall a segment to the market’s funding machine like a giant centipede, all stale and permanent fixtures of the landscape would be staring back at you in that picture. Luna Days at the Market were in their thousands, Luna’s trajectory orbited that Market Dawn to Dawn sneaking in and out the Castle gates like they were matchsticks with steps in accumulance that Luna had strided around the globe times past her age and never knew it nor stopped orbiting.
Mudfruit doesn’t even grow in this climate Luna thought
ta da π and I love – Luna Days how awesome is that like Luna’s days as in the character and her days but also its really like a Solar Eclipse equivalent you could soo easily hear someone talk about Luna days lunar eclipse π wow I really love the name Luna π
Thank you everyone for your kindness and I feel quite comfy to share this here π

As I mentioned in my small post earlier ha I wrote lots today well yesterday and yes I know bunch of spelling mistakes and random notes but I watched that sweet film again soo happy π then this Christmas heist type film was on and right now its 04:01 am ha and like I just want to rest you know and plus its how it was natural and the ideas and progress happens but sometimes you got to and its good to look back π
That was the film I watched at like half 2 am and now its 04:04 π
Here is what I wrote today just today at Dericks house one of the most productive writing days in a long time and I took plenty of breaks, and reflections of inspiration and we came home all of us to dinner with our friends and played games then films so I could have wrote even more but I am super happy even when at Dericks house I stopped for a bit like I’d done soo much proud of myself π and just mainly started coming up with ideas so that’s why lower down its like short sentences and not like in the story as much.

6 January 2024 at 04:36 #75268hey everyone π π how are you all π π
I just thought it best share/post the story elements I wrote in a separate box/bubble cause of word count limit ect
Here we go today was great π
P.S. I know I have a double paragraph cause I added a little to the newest one and kept the original to see the progress but as I say gonna go to warm bed soon ha so just skip that sorry if its confusing π not all is a neat folder but together is a story in the making π
Also as you all are aware I write like time stamps , when texting a lot like to remember what happend , when I watched things if I am talking about films , or how long my posts can take sounds silly but yeah and when I write my story I do this too – 1 keeping track of the date is important when writing a story and 2 I like to do the time stamp to see how much I wrote how fast , or when I had a cool idea ect π π π π

Crissey kneled down and comforted her so called Daughter, once stretched and writhing now curling up unknowinlgy like a puppy, Vampires crave blood, zombies have bottomless apiteres and prehaps Luna was more wolf than anyone relazied. The Sword still perched on Crissey’s knees, a burden in a peaceful embrace. And so she left.Tumbling through each ..Phasing through the foundations of the Castel Crissey was embraced herself by complete silence, on the other side of the guared celler,
and she wept with parrelled ..accusion..
Her daughter … not even a Monster enough to survive
The plastic flower in the garden, no-one saw its beauty (rather the need to pluck it out14:45) simply because it wasnt how it should be, to them it was a fraud by its difference

‘Fires light the way’ the plague said, Dustin thought it was all silly noness, the shop keeper was busy with a customer attempting to purchase a heat gun, as such Dustin picked up one bulb to inspect it. Again it all seemed rubbish to him, the bulb was glass as usual, cylindrical top design. In fact Dustin thought he could travel back fetch a bag full from scrape yards and warehouse and make a fortune in what to him was the future age. A distinguable feature apart from the gold casing of the circtur instead of classic sivler was berry red paint on the glass segment. And they want 2 dimonds a Crab claw and a skull for this Dustin scoffed, he considered telling the guards at the Castel to shut it down shut it all down.
“Make way for a manaragry or art Gallery”
“What was that Sir ? ” said the Shop Keeper
He had heard Dustins bitter remarks at was likely he method of survival. Dustin imagianed burning alive and took a quick glance at that heat gun and the nearest hand byside it, which was in fact the Shop Keeper regetablly, and the customer who Dustin had previosly drowned out like a shadow was increasing in presence, looming slightly over the stall

14:46Pentiseant – new word 15:06 writing to 15:07 for the skull with the shop keeper
trees had eyes that you could eat , they were the berries and cherries of the future 15:09
like blue berries they were blue at the centre, and like black berries to , in fact every colour of the rainbow was a possibilty on your tree 15:10
15:11 What are they 15:12 are they real eyes
they are genticxced fruits , mixing of genes like how you would cross plant specials together back in old world but now a days we have lets say more variety to pick from
Luna crushed one of these apprent fruits in her finger tips till it split open at the centre
“Its kind of eye opening right” she giggled 15:14
can they see you
15:11 oh yeah , but its kinda more fun that way
15:16 they spend a fortune at Christmas just to /cultervate 15:21/ the red ones /in time15:22/ , sometimes green’s and white’s too 15:17
15:23 “Its kinda of strange though, its like with fish on a plate , they are gone but its not comfortable seeing a glassy eye on your plate. 16:07 this needs to shift around to make emontional sense 15:24but these ones are alive when they see you moments before they are in a chamber of darkness and crystal white blades, 15:25 I think its sad Dustin said softly, almost with a lose of foucse.
Time and place meant nothing anymore people eat conciouse eye fruits in bucket loads, he wondered what it would be like back in his day the outrage and how the future people ever let this past, how could you sit comfortably at a table knowing the food is alive and the one organ thats soo precious and complex and beautiful they turned into a fruit even if its a fake fruit they still did it for show turned beauty into profit and simplicity. Dustin knew some of them would fall on the floor and rot away thier vision bleakening, others pecked by ravens and most would surfer proglonged exist in frozen boxes and stuck in a plastic wall stating and on fruit stands and commercial stores plucked from thier home watching shoppers go past without thought or regretful tear. Concious and aware that in this Business being picked didnt mean a caring home and a warm bed by the fire, it meant out the box. To be set free from clastapohbic plastic package onto an impending death. Agonising dullness and crulty. Dustin looked at the sky, stars nowehre to be seen darkness more than ever.
But Luna would consume them like old people used to, his daughter had split his heart and worse still he zoned out and now his eyes were achinng and dull and for the only possible time in his life shame sprouted uncontroablly a canapay blocking out the light he felt from his Daughter. How could he eat anything again . Craving to go back to literal simpler foos without understanding just free standing withut concious just consumed///// and be listend to just this once , to be able to show them what their decenedts did and he would burn them to the ground for it. Nothing changes he thought, light is on the table but people always find a way to sneak up on it and cover it in darkness. Then they forgot they pushed it aside in the first place and wonder why thier days are cold and empty till its overshadowed them as darkness persits and flows through the next and the next. Each a catalyst the swarms devour, families break from the inside and the World offers a dimmer and dimmer light till you just cant see the way out anymore. A darkend heart, hopeless mind broken packs sucking joys out of the world. Duncan could see clear as night what that had lead to. His hand stretched out, he was waiting for the cold touch in front of him to grab it only to push it away. But there was no touch just a giggly smile with fangs sticking out, another eye consumed with purity as its condement. 15:46 (now to 15:56 / 15:57) 15:58 16:00 16:01 16:03
16:08 genuis I can use the eye fruits for the fake eyes of the skelloton army yes π π π π
16:09 trees are kinda like a brain so eyes and nerves wow π π π π
16:14 for the greater good type of thing
more like rain berries to me the tears the want to cry but cant 16:16
Dust and dirt , flys and rays of sun, maybe ….. were the lifeform the suffered the most and yet everyone cheered and eat them for fun 16:17
I am wrote that last part before somwhere wow π
Bucket of eyes in a giant socket 16:18
Nights and days could you see the same , could you stare at the same spot all your life only shuffed vision by the breeze that shakes the tree you were attached to 16:19
Eyes burst under foot , turning to mulch , your walking on someones view of life and you crushed it 16:20 and pounded it into the dirt it grow from 16:20 / 16:21 happy to tread on dreams of eyes seen 16:21
16:21 Star dust rotted these eyes all the same , but you could see it , dangerously ofcouse but you could. A hidden diease swarming visibly and you cried and wonder why they ever gentixized this into the world 16:22
Star dust pain and wonder jumbled at the centre 16:23
Dragon beath stuff of legend, eye fruits nightmares of reality and the corruptor of the legend 16:23 of the future world of hopes and dreams, health and happiness seen 16:24
Luna howled and you cried 16:24
Stardust everyone runs from it 16:25
Luna had dyed her hair purple for you 16:25
Lupin took the disc and it unlocked , a dazzling light ocean in colour and fresh scents poured out of it 16:26
——-
16:55Nightfall , fast , sharp and cold , only beasts of bulk and the ones covered neck to tail in fur would be out without complaint. Dustin wanted to join them, if they wouden’t eat him ofcourse, Living with nature seemed great always had done to Duncan though Luna was a sour warning bell that being conncected to nature your own your own if nature tries to eat you. Luna was almost swamred by it, the cold air tingled on Dustins neck once again as he relaized her true nature may one day be all that’s about her. No more Luna my little girl but the wolf who ate her.
The name he gifted to her all those years ago was becoming more and more literal than sweetly romantic. Luna the Moon child , Luna the wolf who eats. How could this happen, this is a world , particles and now magic the very thought stumbling his comprehension of the world. Zombie was for the film now they were sitting at your lunch table possibley with your arm on the plate. Dustin looked at Husk, a real creature flesh and blood not forgetting the mighty claw, but he was real and … a real friend.
Dustin stepped under Husk to avoid the snow drifting down least he further freeze, and opperated the tanks, giving the signal there was fire in winter as easy now as the snow itself feel uninteruptted by the canapaies.
Husk snapped at a tree trunk here and there, slamming them onto a flame
18:18 rian making sound hedged that move , missing of sky colours and clouds , the millipeede looking leaves that smell like tea and maybe a pumpkin / annnas / green fruit or fake fruit , ball type fruit and flowe 18:19 love π π π π
pink tornado clouds 18:19

I know its not perfect and like from word document to here I think I spaced it all out properly how it looks on word and I’m gonna fix a lot and write more π that what I was also really happy with today that I carried on with the story segments I was writing π really today was soo much better even though it looks like scrambled eggs I can make a meal out of it π and seriously we stress soo much (I did till recent) about ah its not good enough, my paragraphs are bulky, too much dialogue and could be dull , but like I’m not a genius you know takes time and like I write what I want and can fix and adjust and happy when I’m happy with whats on the page π unless your a robot ha nobody properly ever wrote a book in a day or each word and sentence was perfect and right for the story on day one as Derick told me about nobody can write a book in a day π
Thank you for listening hope its enjoyable for you all even at an early rough stage of the sanding and smoothing process to a beautiful table ha – I really like these like its a jumble on to perfection kinda of metaphors cause it kinda helps me relax and know step by step doesnt have to be pefect has I struggled with for years π
This is the word count I wrote today solely at Dericks house soo happy and proud with myself and its sweet to have the writing flow again and like enjoy/laugh at your own story π π π π
Thank you everyone π π π π
Take care everyone stay positive healthy hugs and love π π π π π π π

8 January 2024 at 20:44 #75274hey everyone π π how are you all π π
Today I found out lost a little piece that I was writing (one of my fav parts) but I can re do it kinda of from memory.
But that happening again and having to re start parts , and videos etc I’ve watched today – I wanna improve
I am going to try to write better – first trying to get enough space to download Word instead of WordPad which is nice but I think word is more comforting for me π
2 I asked my friend here – if I can visit his house sometimes and we can work on , give feedback and hang out π
3 I know I’ve posted a lot here what I am writing π sorry if its too wordy – please may I have some feedback π thank you.
4 For me – I just gonna keep going and write for fun and my family not to be mega famous just stay motivated and stick with writing routione of something every day π
P.S and if anyone can help me – I am gonna try to outline and plan more (I haven’t done that before) Jed says its crucial so I am gonna try and learn plus his course on that I want to take when I have enough money).
Later when I have enough money – maybe next year I am gonna try to join Jed Herne’s Writing Course π
This one π and perhaps the smaller one about motivation too
I wrote a book when I was 15. It sucked. (youtube.com)
Really good advice in that video π
So I have me obviously – my friend who I am gonna try and have feedback etc from and give support to (my other friends maybe) and you all here any feedback or help π
Thank you everyone stay positive hugs happiness health home care and love π π π π π π π
Regards – Declan Sargent
9 January 2024 at 02:22 #75275@oochillyoΒ Β While you are waiting for enough money to take a course you might want to check out your library if you have access to one.My library has lots of books on writing , most are by authors and have at least some advice on writing that you might find useful. There are even some that have lessons and exercises to get you started. Once you have a library card they are free to borrow and browse so you can get started while you wait. I am sure your library has some too and most libraries have online versions that you can download and read without leaving home.
Keep writing, practice makes perfect as they say.
stay safe
9 January 2024 at 11:49 #75276hey everyone π π how are you all π π
@winston π thank you very much , the online idea might be good π
Also by like craziness haha I woke up tired so stayed in bed (thanks fly’s in my room and tornado dreams) haha and started to read my story and bingo I figured out name – Carrius Disease (story disease) plus health check up scene which adds conflict + visual worldbuilding element and actually how my story starts (light bulb moments) – the inciting incident and all after years of skipping and barley having a start I got it woah woah that’s the main thing right then can work out how everything carries on π
11:45 got Marco on the call and music , spider web hair after shower and happy π

10 January 2024 at 21:56 #75277hey everyone π π how are you all π π
I’m not trying to boast or anything , plus I have to edit , connect scenes , all the technical stuff and learning to plan but I re checked this from Brandon Sanderson –
‘If can write 4 hours a week , can write 2000 words , in a year can write a book’ – I’m not perfect or joking around but I have smashed that this year alone π
I have to check precise dates ect for some stuff – but on 5th I think I wrote close to 2000 words, I checked word count today and previous times and its gone from this to this
In 4 days – and I had busy days , wrote little times ect ect but wrote a nice amount today an hour none stop , wanted to do 4 again but I liked the scene and wanted that to settle in than keeping going as I told Melda π
So this 4 days alone I have wrote nearly 3000 words possibly a bit more – plus the other writing since this year alone in 10 days π
and that’s nearly 2x weeks so I think the 5th was that big 2000 writing day so since then about as I say maybe 3000 ish π
So that day I did have breaks as I said in post talking on that day but was about 4 hours of writing , other days following had less – the next day I think had 3 hours actually but all days a bit less than that magic day at Dericks’s house, today we went out again, I actually wrote in my note book for the first proper time π I started that yesterday when went out but just trying to write the blub and we had to leave cafe so today I did some sketches of key scenes π when were out π and I wanted to start about 5:55 but we had dinner at that time so I didn’t write till like 7 or something π 7 exactly yes for none stop hour π and yes I havnt checke fully the words for those shorter days between 5th/6th to now cause I thought hitting anohter 1000 you know like out of the 18.000 but says 18,600 ish so I wanna check the other days maybe it was couple 100 total π but still another hour today, had others previous days in-between and days before the 5th , 5th/6th were big writing days so overall I’ve smashed this 4 hours a week and I found I can do far beyond π
Super happy π
Sorry I rambled off there , I am quick that 2000 a week target seems soo easy π and actually 4 hours in a whole week I was trying to calculate this all yesterday in my head when we were out about how many hours of work could get me to 1000 ish money for that writing course if I generously work like smallest wage for my age of 5 an hour it would be like 200 hours which is like 8 days and like 6 hours or something I was working out in my head haha but for writing wise that could work too seems soo small and easy 4 hours a week out of that like 200+ I guess its about writing good and writing what matters π
I am still learning those things like correct words, how to add tensions , write scenes properly , learning how to plot and write notes but seriously if easy as pie to just for me ramble 4 hours out each if I felt like it even on those busy days I am soo happy with re checking that Jed Herne / Brandon Sanderson video just then to get the details write cause 4 hours seems sweet π 4 is my special number and I can easily write 4 hours in a day let alone a week π
I am probs gonna have a day soon , were I fix all the previous years of story elements and write bigger scenes and or hopefully connect them to the plot so far and then I will see what I really have got cause if I fix up and expand those previous scenes I maybe have close to 50 thousand words waiting there or more you know cause the amount of scenes I have created over the years , and like I always do write a new scene fresh but struggle to keep going and like really don’t connect scenes together but if I can learn that – I already have a lot to connect up and make more wow more depth plus all current ideas and what I’ve wrote this year for instance I am really actually happy about all this π
I even watched marketing and book cover stuff yesterday and how to make a title, and seriously had a great idea for the front cover and maybe a title
I know I’m not expert or rich but like if I get enough words, if I tighten it out flesh it out I really could have something you know π
Thank you for listening π
Example this is what I wrote today just in an hour – I fixed the spelling mistakes for you all.
I like to test myself writing none stop each minute if I can for that time that’s why I stuck to 1 hour cause I liked the scene and was bit tired so not going for the 4 hour none stop to Midnight tonight ha – but this is my hour of power π today π
19:00 10/01/2024
Luna stepped fourth out the cloud, her pack followed, Moon light cascading down, verberation of howls erupting from the back. Luna leaned against Lupin, her usual course to keep the flame going.
So bones are back haha – accidently got this when trying to fix that word its like vibration but it reverberates you know not sure if there is a tion version of that word but hey one step forward starting on a good step you know haha π

19:00 10/01/2024
Luna stepped fourth out the cloud, her pack followed, Moon light cascading down, verberation of howls erupting from the back. Luna leaned against Lupin, her usual course to keep the flame going.
Luna darted down the slope, past the tangled roots, through the flame, past reflective puddles that she didn’t give much attention to, leaping onto the Crane.
From its arm she howled eyes snapping into focus, the wind that whipped through was soon ignored and then forgotten. Howls bellowed out and teeth shone like that of phone torches in a Concert.
She tore into the Cabin like a caged animal
The Crane was ready Luna was ready, her Pack were ready.“For the Night !” Luna said
Gowls and goblins with empty stomachs were eyeing Duncan,
Husk would be away in some mud pit.
“Gowls, give me a break right ? ” Duncan said chuckling
At once they grabbed the nearest sharpest object to reach, forks, claws from Werewolves, glasses that had yet to be smashed
Duncan was befuddled, then he remember,
The Beffudler was snatched from its pocket, Duncan used the device, The Tavern was glowing, beams of light19:17 The Fire were still warm, mixes of dead grey ashes and hollowing orange light, The Sky seemed like an art explosion, purple waves criss crossed baby blues, cotton candy clouds , the horizon was bone grey, and 5 Planets of near distance could be seem.
How’s their world going ? Duncan thought
Duncan got up and tapped Husk (like waking up a guard dog ) where it was most risky,
Signalling at the fire, Husk inadvertently blasted his flame thrower and the embers darted through a wave of flame.Everyone pulled back before they even knew why.
Through tired eyes and those wishing to still be in their dreams Duncan apologized calmly for what his big green friend had caused.
Husk picked up Duncan likely to keep him safe and as gentle as a giant crab can Husk shuffled back, away from the crowd.
Luna arose and leaped onto his claw, she missed from lack of sleep and clambered to keep a grip of Husk’s Claw,
The group chuckled, Duncan gave them each a look and silence and stillness persisted again, some looked like pinefish, others started into nothingness as a technique and Latrize smiled at Duncan. He couldn’t tell if it was a flirty smile or an apologetic one like a kid would share with a Teacher. Hopefully not the former.Husk again used his flamethrower, there was a pause. Then everyone tore into laughter and pushing of elbows. Duncan turned to the Claw , Luna was still hanging there and so he signaled to Husk as such, the Claw was lowered gently to the ground and it opened like a Clam.
Luna hoped inside, true to Luna a dangerous spot was truly exciting and relaxing to boot, she huddled inside the Claw yawning as incisors glistened with the fire light.Food was passed around the circle, meats and fruits pierced on sticks, each passed down the circle till reaching Duncan, leaning, stretching down from Husk’s carapace. Once the skewers were collected, Duncan would push them one at a time into a line in the small gap behind the flamethrower holder, he pushed them with such force each a steadied and perfect hit it was like he was throwing a javelin, strike after strike, food was secured and began to cook through the intense heat of flame.
The Trees crackled and birds bounced from tree to tree. “Bunnies of the Sky” Duncan said to Luna.
As they both laughed, the group were passing extra branches collected, eyeing up the longest, the sharpest. Then Lupin and Dristin approached the fire pit, from atop of Husk it looked like a ballet. Duncan looked up to Luna (on Husk’s risen claw) who had her legs moving to some sort of beat in her head, tearing through the skewered meats, it seemed Luna was finally had a Good Morning.
Whips and scrapping of pebbled stones were the accompaniment to taunting shouts and giggled cheers from the Crowd. From up here, glancing at his Daughter, His heart was beating well, Duncan heard the cheers and looked down at the show, his memory of visiting Broadway on a School trip twinkled.
This was a Scientifically brilliant Morning he thought.“This is the best right my Moonlight” said Duncan
Luna looked down and with a brief smile she howled as loud as she could as any Werewolf could when happy.
Dristian won the fight, with a kick of dust,
?clamping his opponents stick with his arm.?The Moon was out again, looking down on them all, Luna and Lupin Howled together on-top of Husk.
Duncan walked around the edge of the pit with precious and steady footwork. Checking on each of his new friends they were crying over jokes , huddled in what Duncan now thought of as mini packs thanks to his daughter, and some were melting marsh-mellows on the embers. Clearly he would have to teach them how its done.
Husk flattened gently into the sand they had brought for him, though it was difficult to tell from the big clueless expression Husk was giving, Duncan knew a happy animal is one that lies down. Totally relaxed and feeling safe.There were no Stars in the Night Sky, so Duncan smiled widely to show off his teeth to whoever was looking up there.
But down here Luna was looking and giggling away as she curled up on-top of Husk’s Carapace as close to the fire as she could get, fresh cool air coursing through her fur, it was tingly and perfect for a Good Nights’ sleep. 20:00– That is Today’s Story π

Then at some point after reading bits and bobs here and there I found this amazing story and at 10 to 8 roughly I read and reviewed/gave feedback of their writing π chapter 1 , 2 and 3.
2 hours giving feedback π I wrote more feedback words than their Chapter 3 haha π and Melda was soo proud of me π π π π

16 January 2024 at 01:32 #75306hey everyone π π how are you all π π
I don’t know if sharing my own writing here is good or not but I had like a speed write it was great perfect songs and apart from a little logic thing I can fix out later (I have fixed spelling mistakes) I am amazed I wrote all this fast soo well and just buzzing want to share it but all my friends seem asleep – I am really happy though it was soo easy just fast chunky writing you know and I stopped at the time I did cause I wanted to write as much as I could till the next hour and share with my friend I think its sweet hope you enjoy
The wind is howling here soo much wow even our strong wood door is rattling, what a mood to write this kinda of scene and the perfect songs likeΒ Real Gone from Cars – the car engine sounds from that is gold π soo powerful and great to write with plus other epic songs like Kayne West – Power π I always think of that advert with this sweet song
Try if you can to read as fast as you can all this , maybe for me typing it fast giving me the option to read it fast at same time works , but if I read this (if someone else wrote it) I would get slowed down soo much cause my reading difficulties but I urge you to read this fast especially as it ramps up.
— Warning its quite vicious language, a bit gory (blood and organ/body part talk) and scary cause like werewolf’s the atmosphere and unbridled rage.Β Sorry —

Luna shredded her foe to pieces pierced laughter coursing the neurons, a mind that was slamming humanity out. Paws soaking leather greased with blood. Throwing the carcase aside, she staggered fourth, then a rhythming movement that shifted into sprint through the pinewood forest. She never turned her head back to the feast as vampires fazed through in the smoke whipping through the trees. The ones closest dissipated back, they wouldn’t dare trip Luna. Running through bramble, its pain injecting an additional dose of welcomed aggression through Luna’s whole body, she leaped to clear the slope as the woodland died and faded away. The Castel loomed, Luna could smell the metal bolts holding up the gate, past that two guards keeping the dinning room locked away. Fresh meat, the scent drifted through the gaps and Luna was locked onto it all, the whopping beef-wellington in the dinning hall ringing its own dinner bell. Luna howled still sprinting as she reached the gate. Bursts of fire from the turrets illuminated the night’s sky in snapshot moments like x rays. The wooden door made of perfect birch shuddered down and down. Two guards rushed to its circular end leaping fourth to clear it before it was due, sinking into the squelching mud on landing. Luna snarled at the (one 01:07) that caught her left eye and leaped forth onto the other claws opening his chest his burdened lungs in sight. Luna’s grey eyes shifted at once to the one left quaking as he tried to pivot from the run he pushed soo hard to achieve. Luna pounced at him slamming him into the ground. 01:01
