| I find, most of the time, that people don’t have to commit crimes. It depends on what you define as a crime. Does it depend on specific laws? Or is it something ethical? What's lawful and ethical for someone doesn't have to be for somebody else. And today's laws may be overuled tomorrow, and then w... |

| Anyone try this? https://nanowrimo.org/ I did. It's mostly an ego-trip where you write as much words / chapters/ paragraphs as you can. Very little interaction, no regard to quality of structure, plot, language, and very much like a competition. But I know people who swear by it. So best thing is t... |

| Hospital sounds: Radios, TVs, people shouting patients’ names, typing, fluorescent lights buzzing, phones ringing, a baby crying, inane chit chat, carts rattling in the hallway, doors with buzzers, heavy steel doors that slam, someone’s stupid mobile with a loud musical ringtone, someone else’s mob... |

| Birds singing in the early afternoon spring sun. Somewhere in the distance, a car accelerating. My closest neighbor laughs softly and I wonder if he's having someone over or if he's only on the phone. At my feet, my dog Ana is beginning to breath rapidly, she's beginning to dream. It's so peaceful, ... |

Going through the posts I read something about a writing club/group but can't find the related posts anymore.
Do you guys have such a club / group?
Any way I could join? |

| If you hate superhero stories, here is a prompt: Create a character who of course becomes shocked upon learning of having superhuman abilities, but is also on the spectrum. Interesting. One of my main characters hates his special powers, but he's not on the spectrum. The one who is loves them :lol: |

I'm not sure if I would feel comfortable sharing it here in the forum. I would share with someone interested in reading my stuff, though. And I would also love to read what you guys wrote. |

| Yes! Though I always thought of that feeling like being an observer of the things that were going on around me. As of very recently, I could zoom in and out of a situation in terms of how detached I wanted to be, yet never being full in. A few years ago bad things happened. Nothing extremely traumat... |

| As with everything, it depends on the individual. I have dated an addict, someone with a criminal record for minor offenses, a cop, a professional soldier, someone with very strange (but inoffensive) sexual preferences, a transvestite... Until I realized I don't really like to date at all. I like to... |

| Explains why ^ you write so well. You had practice. Pressure of script-writing, I don't know how you can handle it, to be so creative. Writers block would finish me off, right at the start, even attempting such a thing. And what i did write would be trashed, because of my perfectionism. Writer's bl... |

| sometimes it is unavoidable. the lightbulb clicked on in my head in my 40s, that me and people are just not compatible. so i broke it off with society and became a hermit and haven't looked back. Admirable. I would like to live like that, too. Unfortunately I went from being quite independent to al... |

| I'm not a serious writer - I have about five readers who tune in whenever I upload new pages to my story. Still, I know my writing isn't great, I just like having it as a hobby and seeing if anyone wants to read it. At one point I scrapped it because I had way too much backstory to explain before I... |

| Yeah I write stories, Here's one I been working on. Donatello felt welling disgust as the first dark drops of menstrual blood struck the sewer in dime-sized drops. “For God’s sake, April, you got your period!” he cried. “Clean yourself up!” “Ohuh?” She looked around bovinely. Her auburn hair stuck ... |
