By cute little kokiri girl · Posted
As soon as Ada was in the room she called all the children to attention, "Okay class I want you all to say hello to miss Stephanie Fontaine she'll be a new teacher and caregiver here so I want you all to be on your best behavior and give your biggest hellos." Stephanie walked in and introduced herself to the class, all the kids said hello, Madison meanwhile even though she said hello with the energy of a little girl like all the other kids there was something about the new hire that looked familiar, but she couldn't place her finger on it, Madison wondered if Ada had talked about her and Alice? She couldn't help it but still have a small bit of anxiety big bubble up in her, Madison knew it her being here wasn't exactly appropriate as she herself wasn't an actual child neither was Alice heck Alice was older than her then her mind turned to her biological parents finding out and nothing couldn't help but nervously start to suck her thumb which Ada saw. -
I used ICQ more for my webmaster contacts and content providers than personal which went to Yahoo Messenger -
I went to bed at about midnight last night, but still took a long time to get to sleep. Got to thinking, maybe napping through the last half of Watters and first half of Hannity might've had something to do with that, so of course I slept until 8:30. You know how it goes...How to fall asleep - 1. Be old. 2. Sit in a chair. -

My bullet point advice for writing and worldbuilding in general is: -Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Nailing down every little detail can be tedious and gets you off track from what you originally intended to do. Case in point. - Write in service to the story you want to tell. Are you telling a story about a world or about the people in the world? If you focus on the people, you only need to know how the world affects THEM and what THEY know about it. - Not knowing can be better than knowing: No one knows everything about the world from a scientific, psychological, historical, or sociological perspective. So having incomplete gaps in knowledge can make things feel more organic and believable and compelling. Not less. -Fun thought experiments and stats are not the same as storytelling. There's a reason Manga publish encylcopedia stat books for their characters separately from the actual storytelling. One is necessary for the story and one is background for the sake of "lore". -
I taught myself Wordstar on an Osborne1 they had at the chem lab where I worked. Years later I ended up being the sysadmin for their LIMS, HP1000, then HP-UX. That went to Windows shortly before I retired. First home computer was a 512K Mac in 1981. I'd have bought it right away, buy my wife was doubtful until she watched our 3-year-old daughter sit down and start drawing with the Paint program. Still run a Mac here; no Microsoft software ever.
