Oof. Nope, totally Monday. But hey, if it makes you feel better, I thought it was Thursday not too long ago.

My friend thought it was Monday last Wednesday and didn't do school work on Monday or Tuesday of last week bc she thought it was Saturday and Sunday 😂

That's the whole truth

I had an idea. Can someone please write a story about an asexual pirate not being affected by sirens? Like the whole pirate crew are below deck crying and covering their ears, and he's up on the top deck running the whole ship, and he stops to look down into the water like could you not please? I'm trying to keep us all alive here. And the sirens are so confused that he's not falling for it.

That honestly sounds hilarious! But I would never be able to write it.

I would love to read that, but I too could never write it.

I can't write it at the moment, I have a book baby that has all my attention… But I have an idea.

What is your idea?

I created another thread, letting everyone know about it. It's free to anyone and everyone who has time for it. 😊

Lmao nice.

Hey. I'm in a serious work right now. 😂 It's my love. It's 164 pages of writing, 82,000 words and growing. I can't pause it now.

Great job! I could never be that dedicated.

Then again, I suppose that's why I tend to stick to poetry. (Though I'm bad at it)

It kills me, figuratively and literally. Writer's block is a pain in the butt to deal with.

Yeah, feels like I've had writer's block for years XD

Oh I know that feeling well

Me too. I'd say I've known it since… eh… idk… the beginning of my writing career? Yeah, sounds about right.

How long have you been writing if you don't mind me asking?

In all honesty, I can't pinpoint exactly how long. All I know is that it's been years at least. Although I don't have much in the skill department to show for it lmao

I feel that. I think I've been writing stories since I was like 5??? I'm 17 now, so like 12 years? I dunno.

The thing about my writer's block is that most of my writing happens when I feel some type of emotion or go through a very memorable experience. So now I don't really feel definite emotions as often and my memory is failing me so much that I can hardly remember things from yesterday. Haha… I'm screwed.

I know it's late at night in my time zone, but I remembered something. And I think it's very important. In my language, Gaelic, we have a very powerful word for a people who mean a lot. People who are anchors, and lifelines. It's
Anam Cara
The true definition is a person with whom you can share your deepest thoughts, feelings, and dreams, with your soul friend.
The definition I grew up with is: Anam cara are people who see your deepest faults, and who have witnessed your biggest failures, but who have picked you up, and carried you, so you may see what they see in you. I don't know who needed to see this, but I feel like someone out there did. So this is my gift. It's a revered word, and I give it to you wonderful people freely……..

That is extremely sweet, Winter. Thank you for this.

Everyone here, deserves this title. The times I've seen people talk other people through things on here, amazes me. It's truly wonderful. (And it's universal in Scots Gaelic, and Irish Gaelic. It's a treasured word…)
