A few years back, I read some of the histories of astrology and thought it was interesting. The short story is that astronomy wouldn't have happened without astrologers first.

If this 19 year old guy is into it, this sounds like a lot of fun.

Too much preamble is just boring. Set the scene, but then get on with the sex.
Some stories here are like on-line recipes. You have to scroll and scroll and scroll before you get to the point.
This has always been a hard one for me both as a writer and a reader. I need to know about the characters I'm reading about, and it can't simply be vacuous flesh and bone fucking. I don't think I enjoy stories that are simply scenes, rather than stories.
Though at the same time, I've done the recipe scrolling thing too. As in, I'm not into the set up for some reason, but I already started reading it so, so I might as well find something fun.

Supposedly, nine months after the game, the birth rate goes up in the city that has the winning team?
I'd believe that.
Bonus points if you conceived at, and during, the superbowl.

That's frustrating. Lack of intimacy had to be one of the worst parts of 2020

Before the pandemic, there was a sex club in Los Angeles that I attended twice with a partner. Would definitely not go without a partner. That's awkward.
It was as advertised. Mostly people in their late 30s early 40s. We enjoyed ourselves both times, but it's not something I would make a habit out of.

What's that one pink floyd song that's a long guitar solo and makes you feel high even if you're not high? I like that guitar solo. It's a good one.

Moved in with my partner in a guest house at my parent's home.
I didn't take a count, and it was actually hard on both of us right in the middle of 2020.

I like blue too. Like above.
I had streaks of purple for awhile. Got to be too much trouble, so I guess that's my wish for natural hair color.

I'm not in most of my fantasies these days. There's always another pair of characters. Like Beffer though, I do imagine past partners occasionally. I was thinking about a guy from my first job out of a college last night actually.

West Coast is the best coast when not on fire.
It is currently on fire.
West Coast is the sad coast.

Replace the last season with that fan re-write. That would be awesome.

My periods of depression do not usually correlate with creativity. Writing itself, at times, wasn't helpful because while I was dwelling feelings of hopelessness and anxiety while I was writing. It wasn't until I shared some of my journal entries with my therapist that I realized what I was doing.
I think the danger of slipping back into that bad habit is why I don't write when I'm depressed or sad anymore. If I'm super depressed, it comes out in my work and my work is not so great because of it.
So in my case, writing is something I avoid now when depressed. Not because writing is bad for my depressions, but because my depressions are bad for my writing.

Women read more. Statistics tend to confirm that. My experience working in a library and an independent bookstore also supports that. My girls are both heavy readers. My boys, not so much. As a born troublemaker, I outread them all though.
Come to think of it, I've always heard that there were statistics that showed that women read more, but I've never looked into it myself.
But I'd be surprised to learn that it isn't true. I read slightly more than my brother (only slightly) growing up, but significantly more than my other male cousins. Most women I know read more than most men I know, especially the guys who don't have "knowledge worker" careers. There's plenty more books marketed to women than marketed to men, but that could be either a cause or effect of reading habits.

Hello everyone!
I'm absolutely horrendous at editing my own writing prior to submission. Yes, I've read, re-read, and "know" all the rules of grammar, etcetera.
However, when I go to edit or check my work I don't "see" my own errors, I more or less "see" what I meant, rather than what I wrote. I'm sure that the moderators now probably give my stories to each other as punishment!
I'd like to have a much more keen sense of editing and structure. It isn't that I don't know, I just don't catch my own errors.
Do you have any tricks or methods that you use to maximize your accuracy when you self-edit your own work?
thank you

The only thing that has worked for me when it comes to catching typos is either convince a peer to read it, or *listen* to my writing through text to speech software.
No matter how many times I scan my own writing, I'll always find an absurd amount of typos later.

That northern CA if full of tech people who are all leftists. Tech is a business like any other, so tech people don't become raging commie revolutionaries. Also drive an hour inland from where I live right now, and you'll find red counties.

After losing a job I didn't even like because of Covid, I spiraled down over this last year. It also caused a move, and I was lucky to have a place to go and supportive family.
I got of social media for most of last year, and that took me my mood from about a negative 8 to a negative 3. Then I was able to start working a plan to fill my days and didn't feel as panicked and hopeless as I did around May of 2020.

My long term partner and I met in college, but we didn't get into a relationship until years later. We reconnected through friend networks a few years after graduation. We found out we were both kinky when I ran into him at an intro to rope class.

Hard to pick 5. The first 5 that occur to me are:
The Ring
The VVitch
The Thing - 82
The Blair Witch Project
Near Dark
Runners up:
The Conjuring
Carrie
The Cabin in the Woods
The Exorcist
The Omen
28 Days/Weeks Later
"The Thing (1982)" keeps coming up. I guess that needs to be on my watch list? Or do I need to "The Conjuring" next?

That spiral of depression that began around the sixth week of quarantine for me didn't help.
But I think the worst thing of the year was learning of high school piano teacher's passing. It wasn't even Covid either. Stupid fucking cancer.

It can be hit or miss at times but we regularly talk. I wish they would get out of their news bubble. They watch just one cable news channel, sometimes for hours each day. That does no one any good.
My Dad had to stop talking to his brother for a long time. I suspect it's because of that same cable news channel. It's the one makes viewers anxious, panicy, and a sense of moral outrage over things like plastic potato toys.
Are we thinking of the same channel?
