Some thoughts on how the write what you know might be taken too seriously at times.
Do you write from personal experience or use something else?
  •   18 comments
Personal experience and real life, world events.
I write from experience the most.

I don't have any personal experience. I write from a wandering imagination.

Do you know where to find the Curly Braces on your keyboard?
  •   24 comments
Yep. I use them frequently on WdC.
Finding them isn't the problem for me, it's when to USE them? I blame Mom and Dad ...

What sound do they make? 🤔
Was it genius, or luck? It's all in the numbers!
Have you ever taken a test where you were surprised of the outcome? What was it?

HollisFrances Author Icon - Math was not my favourite subject.
my first zodiac/psychic reading said I was a Capricorn with a violent nature.

I am actually an Aquarius that tends to go with the flow.
In high school, they had everyone take an IQ test. Since I was a c average student, when they saw my score, they asked me who I was sitting next to. They didn’t say it, but I knew what they were hinting at.
They had me take another different IQ test. I had about the same score. I never mentioned this to any of my classmates since I believed everyone would think I was a liar.
What drives people to decide to eat other people
If you were desperate, could you eat human flesh?
  •   29 comments
I have been through survival training (SERE for those in the know) when you are hungry, you will eat just about anything.
I've thought about it and if the circumstances called for it I probably would.
During the Second World War when Leningrad was surrounded some people resorted to cannibalism. When the cannibals were caught, they were executed. If cannibals are the minority, they are killed.
I’ve read that in a few tribes in New Guinea dead relatives brains are eaten in the belief that they will live within the consumer. Unfortunately, they can develop a deadly disease.
So, why do we have a strong resistance to eating human flesh? Maybe, because we learned that you can die from doing so.

I am brainstorming, working on, and editing a story I began early last year or the year before. It seems to have evolved into more than a book, which can be contained within a single book.
John Author Icon - Make it a great MOVIE !!!!!
Trying to keep lists and diaries so I know what is going on from one moment to the next.

Looking up, a ribben of stars visible between the overhanging trees. Three more miles, along the road, to reach home.
I know there's the shortcut, over the hill. Just over a half-mile, and I'ĺl be home. I've used it, before.
In the daytime.
The light dwindles to faint, to slightly green, to dark green, to chtonically dark, under the massive evergreens.
Feeling my way, slowly, with my feet, there are two spots in front of my face, and the smell of curruption, which increases when it whispers in my face, "Hello."
The carriage wheels creaked as we rode on through the stench of the starless night.

Olivia anniversary-reviewing Author Icon - The Chinese SONG Dynasty first used rockets against the Mongols in 1232 AD.
oldgreywolf on wheels Author Icon - Ye got me. *Facepalm*
Olivia anniversary-reviewing Author Icon - However, German reasearch and development went a very long way toward increasing the range and improving the guidance of rockets.

According to my encyclopedia, Wernher von Braun's work gave Britain a miserable time, but he later helped design most of the rockets of the U.S. space program. (I knew of von Braun, but looked him up for clarity and detail.)

It is the best platform to set your weekly goal.
For me, setting goals is a reminder to self. Everyday life has a way of fogging things up, and things which should, and sometimes need too be clearly remembered, are forgotten. Checking in on written goals helps keep my clarity.

There once was a would-be sportscaster
Who played quite a mean ghetto blaster

Then wrote, but no sell *Sob*

I can't say I really have a preference. Just as long as they make it clear what it is they want in a response.
