Oo I just started a new story.

So this is currently the final paragraph of the prologue for this new story, though there is definitely more to be done for the prologue.

"Her soul is slipping from her, and she can't gather enough strength to hold on. She can feel herself going weightless, her muscles no longer responding to her. She soon stops feeling her body, her consciousness going with her soul."

Listening to two vastly different playlists at the same time is amazing. And maybe disorienting.

I had a momentary idea for dialect in my story

I wonder if this would work in real life.

"Could I meet with you in one event?"

"What...? Don't you mean an hour?"

"Our? No, I mean an event. You know, when the sun has moved a bit, not... What do you mean our?"

"I mean... when the sun has moved an increment across the sky. There aren't any events planned today, if that is what you mean."

"No, no! I mean an event! When time has passed! Not... not when something major has happened!"

"Could I have a few moments of your time?"

"Sure! What do you need?"

"Could you tell me where... and the park is?"

"I need to go... I have something to do in a few minutes."

"M...min...minutes? What is a minute...?"

"*sighs in not having enough time to explain*"

"Could I meet with you at the second period?"

"What? Second period? That just happened. Are you okay? Do you need to go to the healer?"

"Gods, what was it you called it? When lunch happens."

"You want to go to lunch with me? Why didn't you say that?"

"No, I want to meet with you during that time, not eat with you! Gods, why are you so irritating?"

If you couldn't tell

Event = hour

Moment = minutes

Period = either sunrise, noon, sunset, or midnight (second period being noon)

One speaker is of the more cultured city folk, the other is from an isolated clan of people who are not as cultured. The second person vaguely knows that the other group has different words for time, hence why they understood that the other could have been talking about a major thing happening when they were talking about an event, but they obviously don't know specifics.

With the ides of march fast approaching we must be prepared

Please reblog to make sure everyone is equipped!

me with my fancy lil character building template

I love writing one story, going to another story--which is inevitably in the middle of a scene with an entirely different vibe--and bouncing between the two like a ping pong ball until my brain settles on a third, completely unrelated story.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
