    @friendsfan367 CFT is my short-cut for Colt Family Traitacy. I'm in for the long haul because I'm writing each generation featuring a new trait. So generation 1 is featuring the trait: ambitious and my protagonist/legacy founder is Rachel Colt, who marries into the infamous Racket family of Twinbrook. This particular story is set in an alternate universe than Kass's story and other stories of mine.

    You can find out more about this story here.

    You've been writing so much lately! You can't tease me about writing so much, because, lately, you write more than I do!

    But you can tease me about reading more, because I'm reading SOOOOOO much! I love it.

    I think--in fact, I'm pretty sure--reading is my religion! :)

    @friendsfan367 It's okay if you're behind with reading. I get it. I am too. I'm way behind in RR Chronicles and moderately behind in Chrysanthemum Tango.

    I finally finished @CathyTea's Thirty Sims at Three Rivers about a week and a half ago, and I had bittersweet feelings about it. I definitely can't wait until she writes round 2. I really enjoyed all the lovely stories.

    Speaking of writing, on a roll with FRWL, and I've got another chapter - 1.14 A House is Not a Home

    ... a certain lovely librarian makes a reappearance... :)

    @friendsfan367 CFT also has much more mature content (at times) than my other stories... and loads of trigger warnings. I feel I should mention that.

    Being the Book Club writer is really like being the star of the week , so it's an awesome experience . .. and you know that whoever volunteers for coffee hour host during your week will be someone who loves you and your story , so all the questions will be about how much we appreciate it !

    Trigger warnings are to let readers know that the chapter might contain content that could be upsetting or disturbing . .. if a reader has issues that trigger them (and who doesn't ? ) trigger warnings can help them choose if they want to read, and to prepare themselves in case they do read.

    Red's trigger warnings were life savers for me because rough stuff happens in her story .

    it is awesome. i wasn't trying to sound ungrateful like i said my coffee is being slow so i'm still tired. or moody like ayden . i really am enjoying sharing the benders and i really am enjoying being star of the week and hearing people talk about these characters that mean so much to me.

    trigger warnings? my coffee is working slow today.

    My understanding of trigger warnings is that there are some things out there that can send people into a panic attack, or a catatonic state.

    Some well known triggers would be things like blood and gore, and suicide. I've also seen trypophobia (fear of small holes clustered together) fairly often.

    Your fortnight is only half up! Not even, since we started on Tuesday! We've got a week and two days left!

    What would you like to talk about? I was thinking we could play favorites... "favorite character, moment, etc..."

    @JLBDreamer: You found it too? I've been a fan of Lindsay Ellis for years. I'd recommend her videos to anyone, even if she mostly focuses on film.

    Somehow, I was expecting to be proven wrong (a.k.a. "I don't follow a three-act structure because I never learned it and I'm not a writer by trade anyways"), but it's amazing how easy to is to unconsciously follow the structure. Now I know a few more of the rules, for following or breaking or whatever. :smiley:
