Sorted thank you!
No problem I put it in the wrong category
Hello! I just wondered if something like this had been done but I had an idea for something that might really help new Mounties to get going and get oriented- a āto do listā a bit like the hog warts shopping list, which letās face it was really exciting! So maybe things to prepare for the journey, a thread where you can discuss your experience getting your guild supplies for example or people you need to introduce yourself to? Sorry if as Iām new this is an old/ not relevant idea I just thought it might be cool!
@Ignatius just moving this here so we donāt clog Q&A
You underestimate my power! I am a Thornmoramere!!! Thunder boombs and lighting dances
Iām not sure if CJs email covers that but we could always look at it
Good day to all! Iām currently enjoying pretzels in my pajamas - itās a public holiday here in the UK, so enjoying the day off doing nothing but internetting howās everyone else on this fine Monday?
Thank heck for bank holiday Mondays! Iām just chilling at home as well!
@Rimor I know! Trying to make the most of this day (wellā¦ if doing nothing but sitting on my laptop can be considered āmaking the most of itā), seeing as there wonāt be another one until the end of August
Ooh itās a holiday here in the US, too. Memorial Day.
The dayās just begun so Iām not sure what I will do. Iām torn between being a lazy bum or getting my butt in gear on summer projects.
Oooh, I didnāt know that. What projects have you got lined up?
Currently some book illustration work, and some long overdue portraits/emojis. Those are the set in stone ones, and Iām kind of feeling out what I want to tackle afterwards.
Beyond that, Iām torn honestly. I have quite a few options - NPC portraits for an RPG Iām wanting to start up, making a continuation series of the fragment recap videos for the wiki, test designs of a tarot card deck, finally finishing the short story Iāve been putting off for a thousand yearsā¦ I have a million and one things floating around in my brain, just gotta decide what interests me and pursue it.
Oh wow, now I feel like should be more productiveā¦ those all sound so exciting! I would LOVE to see your designs for a tarot deck!
I really need to create more artwork for my OCs and get back into roleplayingā¦ and writing, I should really go back to my ānovelā that I stopped writing about 2 years ago
Aw thanks. <3 I think the tarot deck is shaping more to be a July/August project, but Iāll definitely be sharing them when itās more on my radar.
Ugh I feel that honestly. Iāve been getting more and more distanced from writing, the last time I really did something substantial was likeā¦NaNo 2016 haha. I can churn out my visual art, but writing is always so much harder for me to do.
Woohoo! I look forward to it!
I tend to get about 10,000 words in and thenā¦ BAM. I hit the wall. I lose direction and get to a point where I have no idea how to move the plot forward. And since leaving university Iām no longer surrounded by people I can bounce ideas off. Perhaps Iāll head over to the writing forums here
Oh man, youāre in good company for sure. @CJB is a lean mean writing machine. If I remember right, his regular word output is like 5-7k daily. We also have several other prolific writers, such as @Deyavi, who is absolutely amazing in both her focus and her skills.
Iāve no idea where you all find the energy or motivation!
5-7k daily?! holy cow. Sounds like I need to up my game!
@Rimor - yeah, I struggle with those on a regular basis hence why I rarely finish anything I start. Itās awful reallyā¦
If it makes you feel any better, I get so much lazier in the summer months. University forces me to pump out so much art in a year, on top of the for fun projects I try to tackle, it gets hard to keep going.
Iāve found that keeping a schedule helps. Also, keeping initial expectations low. Like Iām feeling in a lazy mood today since I donāt have to do any theatre work, but I have some sketching supplies just laying on my desk to tempt me haha.
Thanks for asking! I am feeling nervous and excited today because I will get to go back to Vietnam for a month with my family tonight, so I am just packing up and preparing. Will get to complete the 2nd TMP once I arrived in Vietnam too!
Oh wow! Iāve never been Vietnam, but I would love toā¦ I hope you have an amazing time! Will you get to reunite with some family while youāre there?
I completed the second TMP just last week! What a rollercoasterā¦ I meanā¦ it was just one of the most intense reading experiences Iāve ever had! So glad I have this forum to keep the magiq going
