Lissa's Ramblings

While trying to write longer stories (and looking back at the ones I am still working on) I have noticed a thing. My stories have one line - from start of adventure through trials and such to the end. No side issues of any sorts. Watching shows (for various reasons including 'social time' to keep me from isolating too much and making depression worse) I notice there are always side issues the protagonists have to deal with. I generally find them annoying distractions. BUT! I think they are needed. Character development is an obvious reason, but also to help build the world/milieu seem more complete. Also - the reader/watcher needs the side stories to avoid getting burnt out when the only thing they see is the main storyline all the time. There are probably other reasons I can't see because of my own brain-weirds. After all - if every other author of good stuff includes them there is probably a good reason, even if I don't see it. So - maybe including the erotica is a good thing, just tone it down a lot. And include other things than just the main characters and their plot. So - I need to rethink some of my continuing works as well as consider these things in new ones. And figure out how to add relevant side stories. That will be hard. (One-track mind is not a good thing.)

It has been pointed out to me that I have been using Baby-Speak a LOT lately - as in, years. It's been slowly taking over most of my casual talking (SL, OSGrid, online games) and Punk said it has started seeping into my stories a little. Of course I justified it by mentioning how hard it is for me to do words. Which is a terrible excuse because fighting that is one of the reasons I do things like online games - to work on keeping my word abilities working. If I don't practice doing it right I will keep doing it worse until it gets to where I can't make sense at all.

So back to trying to force myself to 'talk' in regular words. Definitely forcing that in stories, SL and OSGrid will probably flip around a bit. Games - yeah, I should try to force more correct words there if only to counteract the effects of reading the baby-talk half the other players use.

Bye for now! :)

Doing DJ set with Spooky and Flora was fun. Then a person who normally says hi but otherwise doesn't talk to me says "Thank you Sppoky and Flora." I said "Just spooky and Flora? *looks down at self to see if is invisible*". The person actually said "she's autistic, she doesn't matter."

Will not be saiding hi to her anymore.

And I need to write more nice stuff here if I am going to keep writing here. No one wants to read all bad stuff all a time.

Had to go out with Pam (a caretaker) cause needed to be seen in person to do a thing. We had to go to a store to get a thing. A lady in front of us had a tiny thing - like 5$ at the most - and wanted to pay with a check (I hasn't seen a check in years - almost as long as hasn't seen cash). Then refused to show ID for the check. Said she had ID, but wouldn't show it because of 'privacy'. The ID is just to show a SAME info as is on a check you nitwit! Has the IQ of the average person dropped down below basement level?

Is talking at Pam what knows I talks with a fingers (has beed a family for 4+ years) and she turns a read a phone in middle of talkings. And peoples wonders why I doesn't come out of puter room any more.

Is in the process of hasing a teeths removed to has fake ones put in. Yup - is not even 40 and has to has fake teeths. Didn't even know they was bad till a chewing teeths started breaking lots. Turns out there was some inside rotting going on from under-the-gums thing. Since my teeths is kind of odd and small it was not easy a see unless looking for it, which, being a "don't get near me" person, no one had a chance a see.
On the good side - they is going to make the fake teeth similar to my natural teeth even though is unusual (tiny, prominent fangs, fewer chewing teeths). For now is learning to eat foods like yogurt (yeah - I always said "EEEWWW", too), noodles (a food? always thought it was just a filler sos could put less real food on a plate), and veggies. Yup, I said it - I has been eating veggies. On purpose, without threat of being starved of real foods. Till I gets teeths that can chew real foods again, of course. Is not like I is gonna keep eating rabbit foods forever. Would look funny with rabbit ears and a fluffy tail.

Anyways, just had to said a thing because I want a bite a steak. Raw. While it is still on a cow if need be. Raw is tender, it won't hurt a gums too much.

Bye for now.

Well, it has been a few hard months since Prinz passed away, but I think I can write again. He inspired me a lot (and criticized my writings in ways I think improved them). I have tried writing some short things recently and, while I had some twitches in my tummy when I thought of what he might have said of them, I didn't have to stop and cry over missing him. So this is my goodbye to Prinz and hello, I'm back.

I probably won't touch the main stories we were working on together for a bit, but the ones that were from my own twisted mind are fair game. Tinky, Aichristi, and a few others - yeah, the ones that take place in the same world. The Bard is still on hiatus - it's hard to carry that one without his input since he created the main character.

BUT - to stop the maudling meandering - I am back.

It has been a while since could write anything. Lots of brain weird stuff got in the way every time I tried.
Is back in Georgia (think I said that a while ago). Had fighting with depression, discomfort with things changing too much too often, etc. (Being autistic is not fun with a world that is constantly trying to change)

BUT - I have tried writing some more and updated "The Bard". Now I have to remember how to link it here.

Edit: I remembered.
"The Bard" - a naive teen discovering her talents as a bard (of the DnD variety).

Will see if I can keep doing it :).

We have arrived at our new home in GA! Already complaining of the bugs and heat again. Home Sweet Home :D

The house didn't work out - got the lease and found it had pages and pages of restrictions. Even things like what each room could be used for. Not allowed to store anything in the attic or garage. It was REALLY weird.

So - back to looking for a place.

Edit: There was FORTY ONE pages of restrictions! Who does that kind of thing?
