i still cant believe Yuki's seasonal aggression was actually just SADS and she needs light therapy about it

started her back up this week

it involves bribes

dinner and light therapy

its crazy seeing magic the gathering and D&D become mainstream and sanitized that pop-culture ips will do cross-overs and sponsorships when in the 90s and early 00s it got your locker searched and if you went missing dateline would break out its satanic minions font to lowkey suggest you deserved it

did you know that if you have a thin layer of super glue on your skin from /crafts/ and you go to shave, that it will NOT in fact glide over the superglue spot so much as pull the skin into the razor?

well

now you and I both know

My hot take is that none of these are structure. These are all recipes that describe structure.

Structure is the Salt, Fat, Acid Heat of writing.

3-Act/Hero's Journey etc are recipes.

You can make great meals without using a recipe if you understand the principles of structure.

Mx. D. D. Ward (they/them) @ddwardiswriting.bsky.social · 2d

So #WritingCommunity how do we feel about structure?

Do you use the 3 act structure? The 5 act?

Hero's Journey? Save the Cat? Super Structure Method? Story Genius Method?

Something else?

What have you got?

putting together a "thank you" sticker for orders that came in when we were hustling to pay a (non-emergency) vet bill for Yuki

which involved looking up one of my favorite photos of her, which is also a great photo of the original trio

Thanks for being patient while enduring the wait! I have a re-stock of all new Mini-Altar kits available now in my shop!

A nice mix of burled maple and willamette walnut! Eight (8) total.

Each kit is a mini-altar, a wood support that slots in the top, and a object of mystery!
