Hey amigos. I'm new here but I posted in the last thread with the cool elephant. Probably wasn't a great idea to post some ideas at the end of the thread so I'll just repost I suppose and get the ball rolling. I usually write short stories that I've never shared with people besides my english class. But anyways it's a story about gangs in a steampunk kind of world (think final fantasyISH if I had to name something) and it's kind of a straight forward adventure I suppose with an emphasis on the morals of these peoples lives and stuff. Not trying to reinvent the genre or anything.

I know I sound like a total fag here but I'm just very new to this all and trying to get some serious criticism if the idea is even interesting or not. I kind of want to write a bunch of stuff that goes against the grain but I'm not sure if that's just cause I'm tired of politics. One of the characters was gonna be from the top gang and realize even if she's not a shitlord like the rest she's still gonna be treated the same so it really isn't about doing the right thing to stay alive, more her wanting to succeed and just going with the circumstances. Is that too edgy? I feel like too many stories these days always end up with someone bad doing the right thing and dying cause of it or being redeemed and I want to avoid that.

Same guy as before though, PROBABLY should at least respond to OP.

>What you are you currently reading?
I'm actually looking for a book I read a long time ago. I think it's called the thief lord? Wanted to nostalgia read

>Who's your favorite Spirit/Ethereal being from SF and Fantasy?
I feel like a giant cock here but literally nothing comes to mind mayne. Maybe I'm just drawing a blank but I can't think of a single one

I don't like steampunk or Final Fantasy so it sounds like crap from a setting pov.

>even if she's not a shitlord like the rest she's still gonna be treated the same so it really isn't about doing the right thing to stay alive
What?

The cover is sweet. So much shilling though. Does it help?

read poetry

read writings about poetry

go for a walk

The Writer's Almanac is a comfy podcast to start with. Every day, an old man talks about random stuff in the past, goes into detail about one of them and closes with a random poem. Listen to the archives to hear a variety of poets and maybe find a few you like.

Currently have a Nexus 7 which I use more than frequently.
Only issue is that it's a bit too heavy to hold it up all the time while reading, also I'd kinda prefed the screens of the E-Readers a tad better for longer reading sessions, I guess.

Nobody else?

Should I hire him?

>>7498080
meh

All I know is that people keep quoting that line from The Alcemist: "Just want something and the universe gives it to you!" or whatever it is. That may not be accurate, but that's how people keep treating it as and I think it's a dumb attitude to take in life.
