I'm joking, I just added it because I knew you would think it was funny and we were talking about Broken.

LOL I had to go check Broken to make sure I didn't use the word "orb" to describe Nick's tumor. Thankfully, I did not.
I was reminded of the dream interpretation phase I went through while writing that story. It has all these weird, prophetic dream sequences that I carefully pieced together using DreamMoods.com, thinking I was being all symbolic and foreshadowing the choppage before it was ever brought up in the story. But one of the dreams was literally a shark biting Nick's leg off, so it was a bit heavy-handed and obvious LOL.
Anyone else have any phases in your earlier writing career that you're now embarrassed by?

LOL! Didn't mean to make you paranoid for your magnum opus.

"But what could a shark biting my leg off mean?! Is it about all the people who want a piece of me because I'm famous!" *literally gets leg chopped off* "You know, I really should have seen this coming." lmao

Yup! I started writing PBox in my slightly weeby phase when I just LOVED manga and anime, so it had so many manga- and anime-esque things in it. Admittedly, some of them stayed (though I can't think of what exactly at the moment), but one I constantly found myself deleting and cringing about in the edit was shaking eyes, which I surely added because it was the "perfect poetic way to express a myriad of emotions from sadness to anger"... in an anime. In a novel, you worry about the characters having some sort of eye disease that makes their eyes literally shake.

LMAO! Not being an anime or manga fan, I did not know about the eye shaking thing. But yeah... that would make me wonder LOL.

It was really bad! Much worse than the fist clenching.
--- Quote from: nicksgal on February 27, 2021, 08:22:35 PM ---That's a fun game I should have played. How many times does Nick do that in PBox? I'm sure it's plentiful.

Speaking of clenching fists... I also spent some time playing this game:
It wasn't too bad for Nick!... in PBox. Here's characters clenching their fists (or clenching their hands into fists):
Nick: 59 times in PBox, 62 times in PNecklace (so far) | Basically Nick's default mode in life is "preparing to punch someone." Iron Woobie -- Savior of Worlds, indeed!
Minako: 35 times in PBox, 8 times in PNecklace (so far) | Though, most of hers are either clenching one hand into a fist at her heart or out of excitement as opposed to anger.
Brian: 7 times in PBox | Mostly near the end when he's pissed.
Kevin: 12 times in PBox, 2 times in PNecklace (so far) | Again, mostly near the end when he's pissed.
AJ: 14 times in PBox, 9 times in PNecklace (so far) | If it's not Nick clenching a fist (or Renee), it's AJ!
Howie: 1 time in PBox | And he was definitely about to rain Holy Hell that one time.
Renee: 41 times in PBox
NSYNC members: 26 times in PBox (Justin: 9 times, Lance: 11 times, Joey: 1 time, Chris: 5 times, JC: 0 times)

Wow, that is a lot of fist-clenching! LOL
