In response to "Ugh this year"

I think this year has messed everyone up with Covid. Everyone in my house got it, some were asymptomatic, some of us got hit bad. I've had lingering effects now that just makes it so hard to write. Now where I live, we went into complete lockdown last week, the first province in Manitoba to do it for this second wave, and it just so rejecting, but you got to do what you got to do. Keep on trying to write, it will come back to you, you were always an amazing writer.

In response to "Ugh this year"

Yeah, this year has been pretty much a wreck. I have ideas, but no energy or motivation to write beyond blogging. But that's not related to the pandemic for me. University completely sapped my creativity. Too much times spent studying, writing papers, working with spreadsheets, etc.

I thought I'd be able to get my creative writing flow back being at work this year, but then the pandemic happened and even though I'm working from home, I feel totally suffocated after months of just sitting inside. Definitely cabin fever vibes that aren't conducive for motivation.

It does sound like Matt, and likely you too, could've had covid at the beginning of the year. It has pretty much been established that it was widespread by that time, but testing wasn't really a thing then.

I hope you'll find some way to write. I know it sucks to have ideas and not be able to get them out.

- Awesome! I was figuring it was more using your fears in plot related things, so yay!

- I've always loved mythology too! It's been fun to use them in a fun way. I can't wait to get to where I can actually begin writing and implement them! I'm hoping it comes out as good as I have in my head.

Ooh, I love mythology. A fantasy story with mythological undertones sounds super fun to work on.

You are not off at all. In fact, I think your answer rocks. The prompt was asking about fears in relation to writing.

Okay. Any help I can get I'll be appreciative of. Even if all I get is just knowing I have the "voice" right in my story.

It's more focussed on SFI, but I joined also because of the Fantasy genre.

No I'm not! Thank you! I figured we had to have a Fantasy group on here somewhere.

In response to "Out like a Light"

These days in my house, the power goes out, after everything electrical ran out of juice, I'd have 4 kids complaining, extremely large data bills. In my old apartment our power would randomly go off all day, usually when it was hot as hell and there was nothing we could do but wait it out. We knew it would happen to, it was a given something would happen to the transformer on the block least a couple of times in the summer. Was Never prepared, one flashlight, maybe a couple of candles. Now we got flashlights, candles, tons of batteries, always cases of drinks and water kicking around, in a big house, never a power problem. Had a huge ice storm last fall, took down trees, power lines, all around us people lost power, not my block lol. Karma is kind of funny these days...

I can see SPACE

NEOWISE comet: “Enjoy it while you can. The frozen ball of ice won’t return to the inner solar system for 6,800 years.” Talk about it! https://www.nytimes.com/article/neowise-comet.html

One day I will have a telescope. I've always been curious about getting to see space from wherever you are. Now, the concept of being in space terrifies me—I much love how gravity works—but I've always loved that there was more to life than just us, just Earth. It's also why I feel that there has to be other life out there somewhere. The probability of it anyway.

Now, I've been keeping a loose eye on this story just because I could see it without having a telescope and I live in the suburbs. Usually I can't see stuff because I never happen to live in the area where there is a good viewing spot or because I live in the suburbs and the sky is polluted by light. Things I didn't have to deal with so much when I lived in NY, though sometimes the viewing spot in NY was slightly better but would be best if you had a telescope. Of which I didn't ever have.

SO, I am hoping that I'll be able to get a view of it and especially since I'll be on vacation then (so I can't use the fact that I am tired or was doing things because I was at work).

Also, I'm going to try and make sure I don't forget about it. *makes note and also tells Mathew*
