Thanks for the new thread @Love_Is_Blonde

I am getting caught back up on a web series. It is The Wandering Inn. A fantastic fantasy series. She is a very prolific writer, also will take you on a roller coaster of emotions! Just started online book 10. She published 2 chapters a week. Some of those chapters can be 70k words! When she started publishing the books in print, each online book is making 3-4 print books.

I’m amazed by those who can write like this. I also haven’t given web series’ enough of a try. I need to look into those more.

This is the only one I have read. Not everyone enjoys fantasy. She started in 2019 I think. I have to take a break from time to time

Thanks for the new thread @Love_Is_Blonde

Thank you . That is nice of you to say. I won’t tell you how long I’ve contemplated starting it. It’s silly.

I’m in a few different book clubs. They’re each run a little differently. In one of them, the person that hosts chooses the book that everybody has to read. No voting or input. That’s the book. Period. It has encouraged me to read books out of my normal range of books. Without this group, I wouldn’t have ever chosen to read some of them. It’s really good to branch out.

That is cool. I have never tired a book club. I used to read a lot of different genres. Not as much these days.

Maybe you should? Or start your own.

Maybe. The older I get the more antisocial I become! Lol

I get it.

I think a more positive way to frame that is that you’re more comfortable with yourself. ;-)

Let’s go with that instead of grumpy old man!! Lol

I like it.

Although grumpy old men are fine too. I shouldn’t have said that being antisocial wasn’t necessarily positive. It feels pretty good to be antisocial sometimes.

My life’s goal has always been to be a curmudgeon!!

It's a good goal

I'm a night owl. I don't think that will surprise anyone.

What surprised me before I knew more about you from your posts, was that you were in a different time zone than I For a while, I didn’t realize we were on different continents because of the time you posted. So yes I can see how you’re a night owl.

For the last 5 years or so, my sleep cycle has been mangled, and I would stay awake till 3/4 am, waking at around 6.30/7 am. That would be my range for around 10 days, then I'd crash and sleep for hours.

Then start again.

However in the last couple of months, for whatever reason, it's all got a bit more settled, and I'm getting between 4 and 6 hours most nights.

I wonder if the seasons have something to do with it?

It's fucking awesome to be antisocial with some people all the time

It's a good goal

Yes after I posted that, I was like, wait a minute. There is definitely a time and place for antisocial. It serves a purpose!

 

[Love_Is_Blonde]

I look at it as conservation and efficient use of energy and time. I have a limited amount of both and I'd rather spend it on people that matter.

Absolutely

 

[tolyk]

Absolutely

Can't be nice to everyone 100% of the time

 

[Love_Is_Blonde]

Can't be nice to everyone 100% of the time

No.

And that’s not what I’m saying.

 

[tolyk]

No.

And that’s not what I’m saying.

No, I was agreeing. In my own way.

I am looking forward to catching up on this thread as the few posts I did see seem to be introspective and honestly genuine

welcome we were just talking about day dolphins and early birds and night owls and morning monkeys and being antisocial and joining bookclubs!

Yeah, I can see that - I think a lot of posters have assumed I’m in the US, until they have either heard my voice, or seen how I spell things!

I wonder if the seasons have something to do with it?

You know, it may be that. Although, I’ve been through a load of crap over the last few years, and had a particularly stressful time over the past 6 months, ending towards the end of Jan. Being serious for a moment, which is unlike me, I don’t think I realised just how much of a load I was carrying until I wasn’t carrying it any more. I’m still adjusting to the lighter load, I think, and maybe that has something to do with it as well.

Dammit, the thread just started and I feel I'm already at the conversation is too far gone to jump into things stage!

You spell things correctly with a U, but I thought that meant you were Canadian.

I need to listen to more voice threads. I haven’t heard very many voices here, which is strange because I love hearing how people sound. It is so surprising sometimes. Some Litsters’ voices have been .

Thank you for sharing that. I’m really glad that you are past a more difficult time in your life.

You know, I played around with the idea that in this thread you could enact a Blonde Highlight Rule, where you’d highlight the part that is pages old in yellow so people are aware that it’s an older conversation.
