Oh, I don't know about that. You should be able to go see whatever you like! But if you can arrange going with your granddaughter, I'm sure that would make it more special. Good luck!

You're so right, and we did have a lot of fun.

😂 *hangs sign on the door* Shenanigans welcome, but be mindful of the neighbours. Yes, Scruffy—we mean you.

It's rough out there. Keep fighting, keep plugging away, you *will* make it. Know you have a special book and it's only a matter of time before someone falls in love with it 🫂

Whoop! Cupcakes for all! I hear we do all you can eat buffets for successful heist crews.

Yes! This is the exact problem, especially if you write in first or very close third person. Imagine having to stop the story to explain what a Smurnininnyset or Harchpungelfork is? 😂 (Okay... maybe a good thing I don't write full 2nd world planet-based things)

It is super hard! Could you use colloquial names for things, like hound, steer, etc. and attach new words? Like Sanderson’s Axehounds?
Side note: this always made me laugh in Star Trek, how they’d just attach human things to alien species I.e. Klingon brandy, that kinda thing. It was so silly.

Bet those 500 words are much higher in quality though! I write fast, but there’s a reason editing takes three times as long as drafting for me.

references are not that common, thankfully. It is very hard though! Sanderson is a good one to read for someone who invents basically everything natural world (in Stormlight Archive, certainly).

This is legit what made me put The Last Sky as an alternative future for planet Earth. In that universe, Terra is but one of hundreds of human worlds, but for Isaac’s voice to work, it’s needed real references. With Dark, I’m full secondary universe, but it’s fully based on a ship, so animal/nature

Oscar regularly records us having random conversations, so I'm quite used to having my disembodied voice drifting through the house (usually talking utter bollocks). And I still cringe every time I hear it.

How about Chekhov's Schrodinger's Ex? 🫣
One of my POVs wakes up with a photo of a woman (and a child) in his hand. Seeing as he has no memory, she is simultaneously his wife/partner and just some woman in a photo he found in the tool box he's next to. "Hey, who's this—" *loses memories*
