@art_of_goulwenr isn’t the running joke that Americans only learn geography through the wars they start?
@skribe I think it was more to do with the 60mph winds hitting the house all night. 🥱
@skribe I’m tired this morning!
@DavidBridger it kept going through the night. 60mph gusts but they have eased to 50mph now.

I haven’t had a stay up till 1am writing session in ages!

My outline has an ending. I’m not sure if it’s the right ending, but I prefer to have bones I can rearrange and put meat on rather than pants myself in a corner.

@DavidBridger I understand that. I respect and find awe in the sea in a similar fashion. I respect all the elements, but for some reason the sound of the wind fires up a primal fear I cannot find an exact reason for. The whistling moans it makes through our sycamore is particularly mournful. But it’s the sudden gusts that punch the house that I don’t like.
There’s a squall battering against the house tonight. I’ve never been a fan of the eerie sounds the wind makes.
@richardazia it is. I really enjoyed the forums of old, and even old Twitter, where I had a lot of writer friends. When everyone splintered from there, I lost contact with many, and those who I do keep in touch with I find it’s no longer a regular thing as it once was.

There are times in my creativity where I crave having people who I can talk to about my work.

Currently, I’m outlining a story I’d love to talk about. But I don’t have that community around me. They’re as disinterested about the made up characters in my head as I am about their very real children. So I don’t talk about my writing or my art. I tend to have conversations about it with myself in my head.

I’m used to being self reliant on my motivation. But it would be nice to have real company.

By the end of the year I want to set up a shop to sell my original artwork. I've heard that Etsy is a bit crap these days, and I'm currently considering using Folksy or Big Cartel. Would be very grateful if anyone has any insight into these options for selling art, or if anyone has had a good experience selling on any other platforms/services.
