#WritersCoffeeClub 12/14 Share how you tackle a first round of revisions.
I edit as I write, by reading back what I wrote before moving to the next scene. So the "first round" practically happens as I write.
"Editing" means that the first time around I slowly read through the story and fix passages that are awkward, unclear or simply bad. I clean out repetitions. I eliminate typos.
However, I do not rewrite.
Maybe that's what you meant.

Yeah, I'm off social media for the night as well. This is tragic, and no amount of speculation is going to help; indeed, it may well cause innocent people to be hurt.
Please, if you have "theories", keep them to yourself until the _facts_ are known.
“Imperialism and racism are central to the capitalist world economy. The barbarism is a feature, not a bug. Imperialism is not a side-gig, not an over-reach committed by greedy individuals, it is a structural feature of the capitalist world economy."

give them the thoughtful present of a brick for christmas. to deliver it, if the car does not feature a chimney, send it in through the windshield.
for additional charm write a festive message and adhere it to the gift.
something nice like "keep the change ya filthy animals x"

Our last neighbours had a huge patch of the old pampas that encroached upon our garden and me and Trish were constantly having to service passers by. It got very tiresome. When it disturbed the Bake Off final I insisted they cut it back.
Maybe that's part of the swinging scene.
Mature pampas grass plants are thrown into a giant tub in the garden and people who don't have any pick out random ones to take home ... 🤷♀️
Or something.

These are the core ideas motivating me:
1) We can't trust "big tech" cloud services. "The cloud" is just "other people's computers" and we cannot trust those other people with our shared music/movies/books or even our documents (think Google Drive or Dropbox).
So, what's in between?
If we think in terms of "local community" services, I think the answer is libraries.

Serious question...
When do the users get a say in how we want our experience?
I'm fucking tired of companies trying to tell me "we're doing this for you" when most people I know nowadays respond with "Thanks I hate it"

#WordWeavers 12/14 Are your characters incapacitated by injuries, or do they brush them off as flesh wounds?
It depends.
I made my Wolves heal fast, and mostly, they can brush off injuries but not always.
My Winds & Pillars don't get hurt often, and there are healers, but sometimes, they need time to recover.
Crash certainly doesn't brush off injuries. Krighen needs time to recover.
I do try to make my stories realistic for the world they are set in.
Apropos "ohne dass sie dauerhafte Schäden davon tragen" -- nö. Sie sollen sich doch weiterentwickeln und überlegen, ob sie ihre geliebten Knochenjobs so lange weitermachen wollen, bis der Körper mit 50 ruiniert ist, oder ob Gott ihnen große Gaben gegeben hat, um was anderes Erfüllendes zu tun. Das kostet auch mal Fingerglieder.
(Ja, in dem Fall spiele ich mich wie ein böser allmächtiger Kobold-Gott auf.)
Ja, ich gehe da mehr in Richtung cozy und happy ever after - aber wir haben alle unseren eigenen Stil, und das ist gut so.
