I'm tired of hearing the right cry about the "Woke Mob". I might be wrong, but I feel like "Woke" was used unironically for like... a month in 2013. I'm going to start calling conservatives the "Cowabunga right"

@TheRealDelia YES! THANK YOU! The more MC's I have the more I can kill! This is perfect justification.

How many MC's are too many?

My current plan is to write as many tangled storylines as I can, weaving in and out of each other, and then just stick with the ones that are most compelling. But if I had no restraint, I think I would have 20 to 30 MC's

@TheStorySmith I have a difficult time with meditation. I have some reasons, I wont get into it, but the short version is that I feel like the guided structured meditation is counter intuitive to my own way.

My mind reaches meditative states when I drive. Its why I chose truck driving as a profession. I want my mind to be for me, and when I drive, I live inside my mind while my body makes money.

That said, I meditated for 8 months, and I'm ready to write.

@TheStorySmith @NiveusLepus @ericlewis thats great advise. I call it having laser focus, my wife calls it "an inch wide, a mile deep".

If you look at successful authors of the past, they had a niche. They weren't everything to all people, because then you risk being nothing to anyone.

Time to sit down and write some depressing and anxiety inducing shit. When I'm writing, I have a constant loop of "east hastings" by godspeed you black emperor from the 28 days later soundtrack. Its just perfect desolate oblivion inspiration.

How do you get in the right mindset?

"Maniac" is fucking incredible. I didn't know Jonah Hill and Emma Stone would make my brain explode.

I have no words, my words have failed me.

I'm trying my hand at poetry. I generally haven't enjoyed much poetry I have read, but I see the benefit for improving my writing. Here's something I wrote the other day. Am I getting it?

@JohnCassinari ha, same. But I have a pellet stove and heat pumps, so I'm covering myself with dogs to stay warm.

@ceorl I don't know if it will pay, but there is the fear that someone will steal it before I have a copyright on my work.

I write so many things I wish I could just share and get that instant dopamine hit, but I have to keep reminding myself that its for my book, and needs to be secret for now.

@NiveusLepus I'm also having a difficult time leaving the writing community. I just found it a year ago and it has been great. I wish they would all wise up and come over here.

Does anyone play All Flesh Must Be Eaten, or other zombie survival TTRPG's?

I've wanted to find people to play with, but its such an obscure game its been difficult to find people interested.

Thanks, people of CoSo, I'm really glad I came here. The past few weeks have been great, I've enjoyed the small-town vibes and I'm so happy that there is a thriving writing community here.
