December SloMo 7 years, 8 months agoWell hello Denizens. Here’s December already and time to go easy on ourselves in amongst the seasonal madness. Come on in. Tell us what you might try to do today, or what you really don’t want to do, but have to. Get a cheer for dragging yourself out for a walk, or request a kick up the proverbial to hit that (low) word count. The kettle is always…[Read more]

Ooh, look at this! The chair by the window has my name on it.

This is brilliant @raine 😊 I mosied into the Den wondering if I should set up a SloMo thread but your brilliant self had already taken care of it. After a frenetic NaNo I’m going to scale my daily word count target back a bit and take more time for actual fun. I now have to schedule fun or I forget! So I’d like to finish my NaNo novel and write a…[Read more]

I have an editorial read-through booked for the end of January so my Slo-Mo aim is to rewrite a couple of chapters to increase the stakes and generally tighten up.

That’s great, Raine. I, too, remember that amazing Now and Then story, particularly the sense of setting and history. Good for you.

Thank-you everyone. š š
@Daedalus, it’s due out in Feb, apparently. Quite a quick turn around! -

The Flower and the Bee (370 words)
We watch the open window, falling sunlight, a red flower and an amber bee. This is just the start. Remember that. This is Venus raining diamonds above the black horizon in a damson sky. You have begun to breath the sea and your skin is a map of evenings and the moon will always rise, remember that. When my hand…[Read more]

@ Admin: Is there some temporary hiccup with viewing recent Group comments? I responded to a comment in my SE group an hour or so ago, and Seagreen has replied twice; I can read what she says in the email notifying me, but all but one of the 7 posts are now unviewable.

I had that once. Turned out Iād accidentally hit the spam button that hides posts.

Thanks. I’ve now compounded the error be deleting the thread. Hopefully all will return, but I’ll check the spam button.

I think there is a bug. When you post an “update” and people reply, replies are hidden after a while so that as much of the conversation as possible appears on screen as a block. There’s supposed to be a “show all comments” button, but this doesn’t always appear. The total next to the comment icon on the original post will show if replies are…[Read more]

To be clear, the wiki definition, or the Oxford Dictionary, or Chambers, or whatever, is only the definition that whoever wrote the definition decided on. It’s useful as clarification or as a pointer if you really don’t know how to use the word. That said, even if it is wholly and exclusively correct* then the understanding of commitment remains…[Read more]

Or any kind of mental illness really. It’s always tenuous to believe individual behaviour can be reduced to a binary either/or thing. Especially other people’s behaviour. I guess the dictionary definition gives us an end result of a behaviour, but it tells us nothing about anything leading up to that end.
