@simscognito Thanks. I wanted one I never have to change xD
@CathyTea I find that well-written stories with deeper meaning are put aside often in favour of lighter ones that are often sensational for the sake of getting attention. It might be a trend or simply people's tastes wanting lighter reads. When I read serialised web novels I find that I am often upset that the ones I find to be 'best' are low in popularity, though they have a core following. Yup, it's the same world over
I would like to know which stories are your more expressive ones, because I'm slowly making my way through Goofy Love and I'd love to read one of those next! I'll get to all of them in time though

Thanks, @chalicen ! I really appreciate this observation. It's true that some of my favorite stories by others--ones that I am passionate about and that I feel rival anything I've ever read, including Jane Austen! --get fewer readers. I always feel like yelling from rooftops, "Hey! Read this!" because I love the works so well.
For my stories, the ones which mean the most to me (that is, which I feel express something essential to how I see and experience life) are Shift, Thirty Sims at Three Rivers (which is a collection of interconnected short profiles), and Lighthouse. A short story which meant a lot to me when I wrote it is This Wide Green Home.
Of these, Lighthouse is still a work in progress--the others are completed.
And I just noticed that all of these works have a definite political and ecological bent, so that may have something to do with it, too...
Hey everyone
I've been busy writing, often working on several different sections of my story at the same time. Basically I'm getting my ideas out and I'll add to/restructure them as I go along. Anyway, in a past post I mentioned that the character of Cassie is actually Keegan's human servant, and has been for many years now. So my question is, how should I introduce that element in the story, since it plays a minor role near the story's end. Thanks for feedback/suggestions

You could always show it, by depicting her performing servant-type tasks, and you can also reveal it in the way the two speak to each other.
I should have clarified a few things lol. Cassie lives on her own and is an artist, but this just a cover to befriend Jasmina and earn her trust. Cassie does refer to Keegan as "Master" when they talk. So I'm fishing for a way to reveal that she's his servant without blowing her cover to Jasmina and the others. Does that make sense?

Ah... I see! Well, calling him "Master" is a good tip-off. Is it OK if the readers find out when Jasmina eventually does?
I think you guys are my lucky charm, since not two days after I complained about not being able to play, my new cooling fans for the GPU arrived! Thank you!!!
i'm writing a journal entry about how I want to date and stuff my parents will say..about stuff.
give your parents a chance. they might suprise you. mine were sure i wouldn't live by myself very long and the reason i now have a brand new fridge is because i proved them wrong.

They somehow expect I will meet a man someday by staying in this small town. The only likely hood of that happening if they end up on my doorstep at the most. Which is about 90% not likely to happen. Church, bowling and day-program are out for reasons. (day-program, short reason "conflict of Interest" , church and bowling- way too young/too old parents' or grandpa's age).
Feeling a little burned out and uninspired to write but I still want to write. I have two different chapters being written at once and I'm not sure which one to focus on. I've just been winging it, writing down whatever pops into my head.

Haha... here I am tired... beyond tired and I thought I posted this question in the Writer's Lounge. Not kindness bench.

@NyteRose We never assumed you were. Life happens. Take your time. Us readers aren't going anywhere.
Cool. I have one section almost finished and it's depressing but I won't say what happens. No character deaths though, I can promise that much.
Hi, Eorz!

Yes please
