Am I going crazy or is our thread gone?

I can't seem to find our thread we were posting on. This is the first time I'm coming on today and it was there when I last read it last night. I'm not sure what happened, so I'm starting a new one.

I did see where Julie mentioned school wasn't done yet. This seems later than usual for you. Am I correct in that thinking? I feel like you were usually done before Memorial Day.

Sorry about that, guys. I really have no clue what happened. I would even blame my sausage fingers, but I was only reading last night and didn't come on to post anything.  :shrug:

Oh, and I got my elastic, so I was able to redo my bracelet.

That’s weird… the thread really did just disappear… has this ever happened before?

My last post from last night was asking everyone what their writing process was.(some writing YouTubers that I follow have done challenges in the past like “writing like Stephen King for the week”. I’ve been toying with trying it to up my productivity.

You're right; the thread is gone!  Weird.  That has happened before, and we can never figure out why.  I posted my thoughts on AI and a response to Lindsey's question about writing process that I don't feel like retyping right now LOL.

I'm glad you got more elastic, Mare!

Some years we do get out before Memorial Day, but we started a little later this year and then had two snow/cold days, which pushed us back an extra two days.  Tomorrow would have been our last day otherwise.

Threads have vanished a few times before. I have no idea how or why. That sucks when you write out a long reply and it either erases or the thread disappears.

That's a good question about writing processes. I don't know if I've ever really thought about that. I've never been one to map out a story by outlining what I want to cover or anything like that. I usually come up with an idea but don't really act on it unless it just won't leave my head. A lot of times, I'll have a thought, "Oh, this would make a great story!" But then that's as far as it gets. Other times, I find myself constantly thinking about the what ifs of it. That's when I actually start writing it down. Sometimes the Title comes first, sometimes that's the hardest thing to come up with. Generally, I know what direction I want the story to go. I'll have specific parts of the story all done in my mind, but the process of getting there is very spontaneous. A lot of my plot twists happen as I write, never really intending for them to happen until they show on the computer.

I know I've mentioned this before, but "Why I'd do it all Again." Originally started out as a - what would happen if Nick and Kevin went on the Amazing Race together. That then morphed into the idea of having cameras surround them 24/7 as if a documentary was being filmed, which morphed into each one having their own Pov about a day in the life while on tour. That's a lot of unplanned morphing. lol but then ironically, I went back to the Amazing Race idea but then just changed it to fly fishing. I have yet to actually do the Amazing Race. lmao maybe one day.

I have never attempted to write in the style of someone else. I would find that too difficult. It would make sense for someone who is trying to find a voice of their own maybe?
