Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[Chat], and the world [chats] with you; [Brainstorm], and you [brainstorm] alone.

We are going ok enough in here, it's finally like 88 outside so i'm able to open the windows and get some outside air in here, hopefully cool the place down tonight.

it's been approximately 82 since around 10pm... for me 82 is that exact temperature where I can't get cool enough to be comfortable but I am not sweating like rain either. It stays so humid and miserable though. ugh. I don't think it has been this hot in the city since I moved here in 2005. That was another hellacious summer.

oh also, so uhh..writing..do you guys do that?
Sometimes. When there aren't movies about Captain America stomping the hell out of Nazis to watch.

Bastards keep building nests out there which I have to kick down ad nauseum, which is especially depressing when they've actually laid eggs and I have to murder their poor little rats-with-wings embryos.
Maddie: "I am not!"
Riley: "You're a marsupial!"
Maddie: "I am a placental mammal!"
Both of which strike me as entirely unnecessary creatures, I might add
EDIT: Oh, and some arsehat who revs his bike up at four in the morning
Racoons, possums, and cats + neighbors either not using cans for their trash and putting it in their yard, or not properly securing them even when they're empty is also a fun combo for late night noise.
Any tips? I was thinking a gender neutral "their" would work, but want opinions on it. Using "their" seems kind of "OBVIOUS FEMALE IN A MANS WORLD" though.
But I don't want to "take over" the whole thing, either. So hard.

My computer died in the middle of working on a novella. Luckily I don't think it was the HDD and rather was the motherboard, but we'll see.
Still, I am now left with just my netbook which has been overheating and shutting down lately. Why does everything break at once?

Oh god, the tears are making the paper rip apart.
Why would you do this to me.

The scribe will catch the black plague.
I refuse to buy a scribe because slavery is wrong, Magell.
You pay him, damn. Unless you best him in combat and then his life is yours and sparing his death earns you his service for life.

Jinks didn’t like the way he was staring. "Who are you?" she asked.
Or should it not get its own indent?
I am not MADE Of doubloons, Magell!
I guess I'll have to find a scribe and try to rope him/her into an armed duel.
Then we need to find a sunken ship and get those doubloons. But a duel also sounds awesome. Either choice is good really.

I do not see anything wrong with that. Jinks is the she who is speaking, yes? In which case, nothing wrong, but you probably don't need the She asked on the end if the context is clear surrounding it that Jinx is the speaker.
Forged by Fate, March 5, 2013! (And it's on Goodreads!)
Agreed, though I'm neutral on the "she asked". Leave or remove it depending on what suits the larger rhythm of the piece.

Riley: "You're a marsupial!"

If it's gendered circles, then you could probably just use male pronouns until the character's gender is revealed because that would be the default assumption for that context. I tried to do a similar thing and it got butt annoying by page 30.

"GO AWAY!" she shouted!
