i was rewatching this speedpainting video and i think she spent like 7-8 hours on it ?
i think i usually spend .... ig maybe around 2-3 hours to max 5-6 hours for a piece ... something i was thinking abt was this idea of the piece as a function of time, like if you keep at it it'll get better but u gotta keep going :0 and i think some things you can only achieve if you spend enough time on it

yess , my friend said they were really scared the first day but now they'll like sit on him and cuddle i think it's 1 week as of today!!

u should totally go for it!!! :3
if it helps at all -- i might start w one w fewer details to work ur way up / get used to a workflow, maybe something like this?
+ then when u do one w more detail it'll be easier!

also omg some of these movies are v horror / contain gore, just a warning

@sunny: ahh bedbound is super tough <3
and i feel u there is something abt water sounds that just heals my soul ... i'd have water sounds playing 24/7

i bet you have so many stories at this point, i'd think u have enough for an anthology already! how many would u say u have done so far?

the ones i wanna write , i think it'll be like general speculative fiction .... let me find my list of story ideas ...


- wishing well that grants corrupted wishes
- ghost sightings but wholesome / sweet
- sci fi adaptation of an old myth
- false awakening dream / surreal, loop multiple times ... is the last one really waking up or ??


i'm going for something surreal, maybe v mild horror??, and maybe something sci fi...
it's been a long time since i've seen the animatrix but i think that format / theme is an influence
i have some "notes" for stuff i wanna try (scenes or settings) but no plot to go w it yet, i might play mix n match later as i need em?

yeah i love soundscapes too!! in the past they've really helped me thru coping w anxiety
ambient stuff really does affect my mood, even if it's not always conscious or explicit!

one of my friends is really into ambient music and got me into it a bit, i found some albums that are like soundscapes + music that i really like :0
(no pressure to listen or anything lol)

haha ty!! i hope it's not something i just say every 2 months and never do Lol ... it def seems to me like u are constantly writing lol (which is always v inspiring) but i'm sure you need breaks too :-)

i had planned a few short stories i wanted to do for nano! i think it would be fun to make a little anthology and put them into a little book together or something :"-) i still have the story ideas written down so i'm hoping when i have the time/capacity i can just start, even if i'm not in the mood/mindset i'm sure just starting can get me into it! (like action creating motivation instead of waiting for the opposite to happen)

yeahh i guess it can be helpful to come up w stuff ahead of time but i think most of the real work is the writing itself haha... i know i've said this before but i'm kind of hoping dec+jan can be writing months for me?? nov was a busy month but things might calm down for me soon

oh nice!!! i didn't know they had ambient sounds for different kinds of settings like that
that's a great tip ty for sharing!!!

i think she won the hugo award for it?? i hope u like it if u get a chance to read it! :3

oohh i see .... u just get right in there lol! that sounds like a great approach though, and like not too much overthinking , learning by doing, etc. :3
i really like that!!! i'm trying to start playlists for my char but so far they all only have 1-2 songs each, i just add them if something i'm listening to i'm like oh ? but haven't spent like dedicated time putting playlists together :3 that sounds like helpful for moodsetting and framing though!!
thanks for sharing ^0^

i have that same association but i make playlists for each month, and listening to it brings back that time in my life lol ... i can def see how that would work for a character!!!
