Re: A "Message"?
I'm the type of writer who wants to write so other people can see the characters that I've made up, along with their worlds and lives, not a writer who wants to make a statement of some kind. Would that take away some impact of the story for you, do you think? This seems unavoidable to me. Every wr...

Re: Do you ever feel like your game is not good enough?
This is a lot more common than is admitted in my experience. That's why I strive to make deadlines/milestones. Someone whose work I respect had a saying that I tend to use in these moments: "Just another stone in the fortress of regret." What I do to keep the regret from building up is to get it don...

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...
Reading posts like this remind me of the joy of not being in hs any more! Any chance you can get to a library comp, kick some gluteus and get this college stuff done? Even if it's community college, that has to be better than staying on the road you seem to be on.

Re: Improving in a short amount of time?
Lot of good advice here. Back when I was taking up the pencil, life drawing got me over the hump. If I couldn't find a model, I'd use myself.

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...
Glad to hear it. There are people I love who still play pretend. It makes Life incredibly more annoying. Doing something about it (preferably positive) is better than the alternatives. I wish you well!Broodelin wrote:

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...
Save sympathy until after the game-- just because you're playing someone you know doesn't mean you should lose to them. Also, I highly recommend "The Tao of Chess" by Peter Kurzdorfer. Great chess book. Thanks for that. I'm on it! Screw the weather... :( Last year ran all of that annoyance outta me...

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...
First exam tomorrow... I'm going to diiiiiiie ;~; And like the Phoenix, you'll be reborn! My chess teacher called me out on my lack of self-confidence today. I really need to be more sure of myself-- and not just in chess, in a lot of things. This is something that affects me in almost every aspect...

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...
If you lack the stomach and are not so adventurous, then fleet makes a good point. If you take the plunge, there are some tiny connectors to the board under that tape that was peeled (keyboard, touchpad, wifi, etc) that require disconnecting to break the whole thing down. Usually, these are strips h...
