Something that bothers me; I often see writers use the word 'erm' when they mean 'uh' or 'umm'. Is this right? I've never said 'erm' in my life, why do I see it so much?
I write during the winter months; when I'm laid off from paving. During the summer, I think about what I have written, analyze my characters and my story, and visualize where it will go when I can write again. Its what keeps me going when sweat is pouring out of me in the hot sun standing on 400 degree blacktop wondering why the hell I do this for a living.
Whats your day job? What are your dreams?
Common story: Someone comes here from over there and discovers the difference. They start to think about how social media impacts the rest of their lives. How that vitriol and hatred never stays online, how it spills over into bad feelings and short fuses and needless arguments in the real world, how it impacts them and theirs in ways they never realized.
They see that they're better here.
That's what makes this place so special. Spend some time here, and you'll see for yourself. ✌️#CoSoRocks
The mushroom farm is looking good this morning. This is my first run of grow bags, and they're not fully colonized because the substrate was too wet, but they're still growing strong.
I have 2 lions mane blocks, and 1 king oyster right now. Cant wait to eat them.
Just my 2 cents: The fact that certain countries are blocked from here is a major factor in my choosing this site over others. I don’t think we should have to sacrifice our democracy (not to mention sanity) for the sake of some all-or-nothing idea of openness.
When you consider that most of the banned countries would block their people from accessing this site anyway, while destroying our community with their disinfo and postoperative campaigns, it just doesn’t make sense.
I've posted a bit already, but I figured I would make an official introduction post.
I'm Dan, and I'm writing a novel based in a zombie apocalypse that explores humanity, politics, love, life and death through a dusty cracked lens speckled with drops of blood and smeared fingerprints. Its a work in process that I work on during the winter; my off season from my day job, driving dump trucks on a paving crew.
Looking to have convos with other writers and zombie fans!
As if cementing my decision to come to CoSo, a twitter rando called me a rookie truck driver this morning. Cool, thanks, I'm actually pretty good at my job, but whatever, you are the gatekeeper of truck drivers so.... cool cool cool.
Happy to be here, everyone has been very nice on CoSo. It's exciting to find this place and I have to thank Elon for that. He spent 44 billion so I could find CoSo. Worth every penny.
This may be the most important question ever asked.
Sometimes when a biological male dies, they have a post mortem priapism; an erection that occurs without proper stimulation.
Do zombies have erections?
Is that more scary?
Explain your answer in the form of a musical.
I'm all for free speech. Its foundational to a free democratic society. But free speech isn't the same as saying what you want without consequence. I mean, Odins glorious beard knows I have been know to wield words like a hammer, but some use them like a machine gun... and a metaphor I would rather not describe as it is too close to our reality.
I have a Podcast with my wife where we talk about zombie books, movies and tv shows. I'm also writing a novel based in a zombie apocalypse.
