Good day, or night, to all! It's another chilly day here in my little corner of the PNW, cloudy and oh so overcast.
So, I have an exciting story update, I have closed work on Folie a Toi, I have just a handful of chapters left to post and then we get the conclusion. Not to worry though if you do enjoy my writing, I am still working on my long-term project and will start posting it after I conclude my current (only) story submission. I'm kinda a 'one-at-a-time' person. This long term project has been in the works for years, mostly due to re-writes because I have bad luck with crashing computers (I swear it's not because of visiting shady porn sites.)
I have a question for any of you authors out there, what is your experience with creating new worlds? Like, creating completely new societal constructs, laws, systems, and what-not. I am having a bi of difficulty with creating a viable/believable/realistic political system and political anything is super boring to me. I guess what I'm asking for is for study/research tips? In my years attending educational facilities I found my assigned research projects to be enjoyable, so it wasn't difficult. DAMN I do not like politics! So any tips or idea bouncing would be welcome.
Going back to my conclusion announcement, it really has been an enjoyable experience, sharing the story with you all, and I appreciate you all for sticking with me through it. Hopefully you'll enjoy my future submissions as well, and I would love to hear from you!
The following is a little nursery jig I thought of and meant to incorporate it into my current story: (To the tune of 'Baa-baa-black sheep')
Birdy birdy, To where have you flown? Time to play in trees from the seeds you’ve sown.
Birdy birdy, to where have you flown? Don’t miss the fun from the seeds that you’ve sown.
Birdy birdy, to where have you flown? Only peace and joy from the seeds that you’ve sown.
Birdy birdy, I see where you have flown, to the safety and love from the seeds that you've sown.
Instead I've slightly modified it and it will show up in the last installment.
Randomly, little rhymes and jingles will pop into my head, I think the coolest thing ever was when an ex of mine put two of my poems together and wrote accompanying music for it. Too bad he's an ex though, it made a really cute song.
Oh! Another thing, so I was told that I have a bad habit of posting a daunting 'wall of text'. I am so sorry! If ever I do a 'remastering' of Folie a Toi I will be sure to edit better (unless by that time I have an actual editor to call me out on my lack of skill and BS) Moving forward I am trying to be better about it, so as I make reading a little easier on you guys. Please accept my apologies.
So for my last thought here, totally legitimate question here, any tips on making a good crepe? I've been craving crepes with hollandaise but I am not good at making crepes, hey end up being scrambled pancakes.
