I have been doing a lot of thinking (honestly just a couple hours) and have come up with a brilliant strategy
Do you remember me talking about Detective Izzy, a character I've had for a long time that I even used in a homework assignment a while back?
Yes, well I've been trying to figure out how to use him but struggled to since none of the mysteries are long enough to be a full novel
That's when it hit me
One story may not be a full novel, but a collection of them could be!
It'll start in the middle of the mystery (there's an actually Latin term for that but I can't remember it) and the story will be revealed via flashbacks, interrogations, and/or exploring the area
By the end of it the reader will have a complete sense of the mystery, Izzy's personality, and reasons each suspect may have done it
Then, of course, Izzy will explain who did do it, why, and how
That makes it sounds simple but it'll be more then just that
That's the premise
But like I said, these stories are incredibly short, so even if I gather a bunch of them in one book (my plan is 15 stories in one costing 7 dollars on Amazon and maybe sell at Walmart if I can) how can I be sure it'll be novel length?
Easy
Super long descriptions!
Just fluff it up with weirdly long vivid imagery and a paragraph can feel like forever!
However, I suck at vivid imagery
Which is where the Forums comes in!
I'm going to use my Whodunit series to improve my mystery genre descriptions!
I'll still keep the crime scene itself vague if it's supposed to be g'ry but I want to use this place to improve my skill!
Sorry, just wanted to ramble about my idea I had last night

A fun word this week!
Sonder: That moment when you realize you're not the only person on this Earth and other people are living lives just as complex as yours
I've always known this but never really considered it
Let me go learn how to use it in context quick…
Uuuuuh
Kinda weird, so I might be using it a bit wrong
"I had a sudden slap in the face with sonder as I looked around, seeing all the families living their unique lives."
Even if that's wrong I hope you learned something and I'll see you next week!

You know that scene from the Gen 8 anime where Eevee makes the silly faces at the Impidimps?
That's what I'm doing to y'all!

-
Smellykiki
its fine I went to a shop called ASDA and they get packs once in a Moon that is crashing into Earth so it was very surprising they had some might go again just to get more
-
Smellykiki
I just checked and cards that are cut weirdly and have some missing ink are called "Error Cards"
-
Hades0918
Wow! The glitches in printing might add value! Definitely check the price when/if you can/want to

Then Dinner I ate rice with lentils
yesterday I did a Morning lesson after a bit i played TCGP and DBL

So I'm doing Literature as my Summer Class and it's made me realize a few things about my Lance and Homare story
First, I noticed that I only planned on building their relationship, no conflict between them planned
However, that is unrealistic
Every relationship has conflict at some point, so I'll have to find a way to make one happen
I don't want it to feel forced, though, so I'll need to have some sort of event that causes it…
The next thing is they are supposed to have a mortal flaw that makes their character imperfect and human-like
I know what those are
Lance has been looked down on his whole life, so he has a drive to prove himself worthy and get the attention he never received
Homare is a people pleaser, working hard to meet all expectations put on him, even if he doesn't want to do it
I may have these personality traits, but I'm not 100% sure how I'll incorporate them and have them over come it
Some things to think about…

Hades0918

-
PokeMom244
That sounds so fun!!!!!!!!!!!
didnt really go anywhere and I was bored.
I AM going to the pool sometime this week. (Its hot)
Ya know what I mean?
Do you like going to the pool?
I love to swim its so fun! -
Hades0918
I'm honestly not sure! It's been a long time since I've gone swimming so I'm not sure I even remember how. I could only swim underwater, too, so I would definitely need a life jacket! When the time comes I hope you enjoy the pool!

You know, I feel a bit left out on the nickname fun!
D... Fineas/Fifi... PM... Volts... E8E... MD... UZ... Cal...
So many of the active users have some sort of nickname, but we can't do that with my name!
H, Had, Hade, and Des aren't all that grand and just removing my numbers don't count for anything
Hmm...
Oh well!
Just wanted to complain lol
03 Jun-
Hades0918
Yeah, I Guess Kiki isn't much of a nickname... (Also, I loked Ruler of the Underworld, but does that work as a nickname with it being longer than my current name?)
-
Hades0918
You. I'm my "What were you thinking when you made your name" post you said the first three letters are the first three letters of your name with the second two switching places. Volts them asked if he could call you Cal and you said "I guess"
-
-
Hades0918
Yeah, I'm fine. I don't know... Just feel upset and annoyed. I want to do anything but what I'm doing but literally can't. My mood will pass but right now it feels extreme to me
-
PokeMom244
I get that.
Extreme.
Yeah Me get that too
Emotions can get extreme.
I hope it passes soon. :)
-
Hades0918
No, D, not that. That actually brightened my mood lol. Reminds me of my talks with my cousin, Kylie, who always has some sort of drama going that I get to hear about. No, yesterday was a lot because my younger cousins (not the one I mentioned above) came over and ran me ragged. Just exhausting and I had hit my limit. Plus school stress I think has been effecting me mentally so... Yeah, just a tough moment in my life. I'll be fine, though.

Hang in there! Maybe try to fit in some "quiet time" outside if it's nice out? Watch the birds... just be. Then go back to the daily grind ... (Welcome to young adulthood!)
-
Hades0918
Remember in the Philosophy post where you and Thur talked about trees being good for mental health? Or something along those lines.
-
Hades0918
I'm kinda split. Half of me likes it and the other half doesn't. Also, how are we pronouncing it? Long or short e? If long (like how pronounced in Hades) I lean more towards no, but if short I lean more towards yes.
-
Dragonfly102024
Hmmmmmm .... Yes let's ponder your nickname as we ponder the ponderosa..... (Yes, trees... Good for you too)

I wish @UnovanZorua profile wasn't private... I just really want to go on it and scream "DELPHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX!!!" for no reason.

UnovanZorua
Leaving it public makes me feel anxious. I did leave it public for 5 minutes and made a post on it in May, though. I don't think anyone saw that, even though it was on the multi-account activity page.
-
UnovanZorua
Also, by post, I mean activity post. I did not make a discussion, question, idea, comment, or answer.

WORD OF THE WEEK PEEPS!!!
Pay attention!
Velleity: It is to want something but make no real effort to achieve it
In other words, a lazy person complaining about something
For example, I want to get fit. Talk about it to myself often. Have I started working out yet? No. I say I desire this but never actually try to do it. I have a velleity to get fit but never even try.
Hope you learned something!

Daily quote:

(I'll be honest, I looked up wise but funny quotes. I love this one! If I read a book or watch a movie that says something I like I'll use it but for now I'll rely on Google)

Cool! One of my favorites that reminds me of that is: "you don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing"
-
Dragonfly102024
Both are good quotes!!! I like them 🙂. (Funny @Hades0918, if you lie about your age, are we really living honestly...heeheehee!). @Ember2026 ... Never stop playing. I haven't and I won't.😎
