Being the procrastinating individual that I am, I think a severe beating may actually be of some benefit. Less slack, more slap.
Hope all goes well with the GoPro experiment. At the very least, you could have some fun making a ‘Blair Witch Project’-like home movie out of the footage.
It might be weird to ask, but what type of bear? I did some research about hiking the Tetons this spring and have had a fixation ever since. We have black bears around here. Not very large and mostly docile.
If I’ve leant anything about bears, it’s that they eat honey out of jars they find in the woods. Admittedly, this blueberry consumption by bear seems quite far fetched when compared with the facts. You can put your mind at ease -- it’s no bear but likely just some mentally disturbed individual living in the woods, surviving off the land and prone to erratic behavior when confronted by a fellow human being. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Okay, darling. Where are you going to be posting the GoPro footage? Who's going to own it? Will people in the room be in the background? Is there a way to avoid being in the background? How will this impact publishing rights (since "posting" constitutes "publishing")? Will there be a microphone? Or are we counting on the camera to pick up sound? Just trying to figure out if I should wear false eyelashes. ;) Sorry to be the mom. But, you know, I'm the mom.
I like sweating buckets while I write. It gets me in the mood for some of the stories I am working on. Costume serial killing isn't exactly comfortable work until winter time. I just ate some wild blackberries on the road outside my house. Blueberry and blackberry pie sounds good. Baking isn't very enjoyable in high indoor temperatures. I feel like I won't get better if I don't write. Everyday I take off makes my feel lazy. I guess my reward will be going to the pool later on. Anyone want to join me? I hope everyone is staying cool and creative in their own way. Good luck at hindsight tomorrow. I look forward to seeing the videos from consenting adults.
Bear disasters! Don't blame anyone needing to pick berries and avoid all that!
Knee deep in editing D&D Feywild monster stat blocks and lore. I didn't realize how much I was picking up here until I started editing and seeing things I learned on the stack in other people's writing and helping them out. The stack has been such a positive experience for me! I still have a lot to learn, but definitely picking up some things along the way. Thank you again for this experience and helping me see a few of my many blind spots!
In my 20s, I loved being on camera. These days, however, not so much. Made a cameo in the film adaptation of my novel HARVEST and loved watching the rough cut until my scene totally ruined it. Absolutely hate the way I appear on camera these days, and was tempted to ask the director to cut it. As such, feel free to film my reading, but make sure the lens cap is firmly secured.
Sorry, my nephew passed 2 months ago, 1 day before the tenth anniversary of Michaels injury. Ironically, He was also born 1 year 1 day before Michael. I hope Austin is in a much better place. He was full blown autistic and the happiest person I ever knew. I'm coming round. I kind of go into my own world until I can deal
P.S. Also quit a 4 decade addiction to caffeine in the last 2 months. I had no idea I was actually still that shy and awkward kid. I was such a spaz lol.
Some of us have joined forces in Discord, and are doing video conference readings at Noon EST on Sundays. Its not Chuck feedback, but it has helped me immensely. After writing and revising somewhat blindly for 18 months, I've got the beginning of a story near a final draft.
Oh tomorrow is going to be INCREDIBLE!!
Congrats on the GoPro and I hope you get all the blueberries picked and the Bear goes to your neighbors house instead of yours!

Also, if you want to drop off blueberries, I'm just saying.

Let me know if you need my blueberry jam recipe! ♥️🫐

Will the video recordings of the readings be published afterward? Would love to watch them.
Blueberry and banana muffins! Especially nice if you throw some raspberries into the mix.
Granola bar bear poo... that's something I'm not going to forget.
Good luck with the GoPro

Also when is the second one of the month? Is it August 22nd?
