I'm not sure what to make of this... On the one hand I'm not a fan of landlords. On the other hand I love the idea of making all my weird ideas pay rent! 🤔 😂

I had a similar thought recently. I have adhd and I thought recently. I can make this life a wee bit easier for myself if I can cut down on thought distractions. it worked. I converted to minimalism. Less distractions, less things to keep track of or move less to think about for practicality.
awareness in moments :)

@NickEast @writers @writingcommunity @writing @humour I mean, it's the best possible kind of landlord: when you are your own landlord. By which comes the implication you also own the land - that is, the "mental land".

Okay yes, I agree in principle, but would it be so bad if it look just a little better? 😂

Comic with two characters dressed in medieval clothing, walking on a hill. The one in front is very tall and holding a hiking pole, the shorter one behind him has his nose in a book, reading. The short fellow says: We've had our "inciting incident" and we're on the "journey," so it seems like we'll be having a "crisis" any minute now.... The tall fellow replies: The quest was a lot more fun before you got that book on story structure.

    @AnneTheWriter1 @writers Apologies again. I did not have the context. Ok?

    That's okay. You just left me scratching my head quite hard-- and I don't have a lot of hair left to keep it from being injured in the process. LOL

    Celebrating a paradoxical 11/10 rating of my story The Last Philosopher by Spookyspackles on RoyalRoad 🥳
    But who knows what could have been if I had only given 120% instead of the standard 110% 😂

    Anyway, the story is free to read, links can be found on my profile, thanks and sorry 😁

    @bookreviews @speculativefictioncomedy @fantasybookstodon @reading





    Big D - 11/10 review by Spookyspackles on The Last Philosopher. The story has got some very strong Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy vibes. If you don't know that series, but like some well written, cosmic ludicrousy, this book definitely has the potential to fit the bill. The MC's 'nickname' is definitely used for some subtle tongue-in-cheek humour, and there's some clever plays throughout the rest of the chapter that make it a treat to read. And while the narrator is weaving in the comedy, they are also weaving in a ton of worldbuilding. There are some tense shifts within the first chapter (potentially intentional), but otherwise, the flow, spelling, and grammar are peachy. Overall, the author humanizes the furthest from a human thing you can probably think of, and does it well. Excited to see Richard's quest come through!

    Tumblr post writing interpretation. Death of the author: Treating the author’s stated interpretation of their own work as merely one opinion among many, rather than the authoritative Word of God. Disappearance of the author: Treating the context and circumstances of the work’s authorship as entirely irrelevant with respect to its interpretation, as though the work had popped into existence fully formed just moments ago. Taxidermy of the author: Working backwards from a particular interpretation of the work to draw conclusions about what the context and circumstances of its authorship must have been. Undeath of the author: Holding the author personally responsible for every possible reading of their work, even ones they could not reasonably have anticipated at the time of its authorship. Frankenstein's Monster of the author: Drawing conclusions about authorial intent based on elements that are present only in subsequent adaptations by other authors. Weekend at Bernie’s of the author: Insisting that the author would personally endorse your interpretation of the work if they happened to be present. Comment by bugbastard | thought this was going to be a joke, but these are all very real things you see people do. Answer by prokopetz I'm never more serious than when I'm joking.
