Spells can be cast in two ways, via music or Chladni figures that correspond to the notes. The music can be played on an instrument or sung, & more voices amplify the spell's power. Chladni figures must be visualized or displayed for the same length & order as the notes.

Does anyone have any good sources for learning about hacking aimed at writers? I don't want to learn to do it, frankly I'd somehow set the internet in fire if I tried, I just want to write a convincing character who can work her way into a secure computer with a basic level or realism.

These comments are fascinating to me. I'm so face blind I wouldn't recognize Taylor Swift or Tom Hiddleston if they sat down beside me. I could have had dozens of celebrity close encounters for all I know.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Many Tinorkk (inhuman sapients) are reptilian or amphibious, including the much smaller descendents of dragons. Amphibious Tinorkk are having a particularly hard time with pollution as human expansion forces them to move to hidden Tinorkk Towns beneath human cities.

Many Tinorkk (nonhuman sapients) have wings, including MC. Nina wasn't born with them & was violently 'gifted' enormous black and gold wings after an encounter with...well, spoilers.

Winged Tinorkk are constantly in search of ways to fly without being spotted by humans.

Many Tinorkk (nonhuman sapients) are aquatic, to the point most land dwellers believe there are deep sea Tinorkk who don't bother with land people. Don't bother asking the whales. Even in their land walking forms, they'll never tell.

Selkies, sirens, & merpeople are common.

Many Tinorkk (nonhuman sapients) are furry, but never refer to an entire species as cute, it's very offensive, and a very good way to get an ass kicking from a 3 foot tall ball of fluff while everyone around you places bets on the fight.

No brain all migraine.

But wanna write.

But migraine.

41,670 words into the outline for the Drops of Gold series. This is gonna be a long one, folks. I'm still thinking I may be able to serialize it as a bunch of novellas. Hopefully it'll help keep the pacing under control and make such a long series less intimidating for readers.

It's finally finished. Upon taking the pic I realized something I would've done differently if I'd noticed, but I'm not gonna change it so I'm not gonna tell you what it is.

This is my sister's Christmas present (I won't see her for a week or so) that I've been working on for months. So much yarn.

Ha, I figured out how to fix the plot I'm outlining that I've been sitting on for 8 years because I couldn't figure out how to get to the ending!

I was stirring no bake oatmeal cookies while scrolling & saw a news post. I realized the in world Agency I'd been trying to fix from the inside was-

Though it took a lot of effort to not get as cozy as usual, I did NOT pass out during Muppets' Christmas Carol!

I find it so comforting my blood pressure drops which is Not Great with POTS, and I usually kinda drop in and out of consciousness. Which sucks because I love it. Didn't miss any tonight.

I can't tell if people are starting to use AI to post in Facebook groups, they're starting to write like AI, or it's just straight up chat bots. In any case I don't like it. If I wanted to talk to a machine I'd at least chat with my sewing machine, which is actually a useful one.

Nothing on land other than elephants (who have the choice to become smaller & bipedal to interact with humans. Few chose it anymore.) In the ocean, yes. Whales have the option of walking in humanoid shape on land every new moon. Deep sea mermaids get...big. like REALLY big.

There are few magical animals left because humans tend to hunt them to extinction then deny their guilt by pretending they were fairytales. 1 of the good things the Agency does do is prevent poaching & trading of magical animals.

All Tinorkk are magical, but aren't animals.

It's the night before Christmas Eve AND I HAD TO FROG THE EDGING OF THE NEVER ENDING CARDIGAN BECAUSE I SPACED THE BUTTON HOLES WRONG. The edging and putting on the buttons is all that's left, I'll still be done by the time I see my sister. But whoo, I was hoping to finish today.

My migraine prevention injections last on average 22 days. The migraine specialist doctor has confirmed this is normal.

Insurance only covers the medicene every 28 days.

I schedule 6 days of migraines into every month, with extras sprinkled in.

What I'm saying is I have another migraine.

Wanna know something unsettling? I like burning a candle at night during the winter solstice. Beeswax, wooden wick, homemade. So I light it, get comfy on the couch, and just keep...waking up. Losing a little of the memory before I dropped off each time.

So I have a theory & turn on the ceiling fan.

Due to Walgreens sitting on my prescription refill & not, ya know, filling it, they might be giving me withdrawal for Christmas. Last time a doctor & Walgreens flubbed my meds & I went into withdrawals I was too sick to move for 3 months. I'm rationing tonight.

I do not like our healthcare system.

We plugged in the rest of the lights, and in true Doofinzmirtz fashion, immediately blew a fuse.

Because most Tinorkk who are rich enough to afford domestic help didn't get it honestly, the closest thing is "indentured servants". Do NOT mess with Tinorkk crime family loan sharks. Magical binding is a lot harder to escape than walls & there are no authorities to help you.

After having wings magically forced upon her Julie (later called Nina) eventually realizes she has to learn to clean them. But since she's hiding the fact that she was once human, she can't ask anyone. After some trial & error & watching bird videos it becomes a regular task.

I dont think folks understand:
Im so sick Im bed-bound most of the day. I cant stay awake, or wake when I want, which is terrifying.

All of this is treatable but Im circling the drain bc we cant afford my treatment! We need a car & funds for 4 root canals.

I have so little time & spend it begging.
