Welcome to the party

Well, it's officially the end of an era... And, I'm not surprised that Lemon8 got caught up in this... I think it was foolish to expect otherwise. #RIPtiktok

That would require a government that wasn't one foot in the grave sitting in their retirement home on capital hill. It's time for term AND age limits in government.

My laptop died last week. And, unfortunately, I am unable to afford to replace it at this time. Luckily my manuscript is backed up but it was more than just my work computer, it was what kept me sane.

😂🤣😭

That tracks

When people lie to him.

Having spent his late adolescence preparing to follow in his surrogate father's footsteps, and his training from before his amnesia, and the years dedicated to the sheriff's office and being a private eye, he has developed the ability to read and know when someone is lying.

Depends on the moment, he's been trained in firearms since he was a kid, how to hunt and track, mountain climbing, and is now learning magic.

Not my main character, but his girlfriend's favorite book is IT by Stephen King. There is a scene where Dameon is recovering and Mellissa is reading it while sitting by his bedside.

Dameon loves his girlfriend's homemade meatloaf. A recipe passed down through her mother, that goes back generations.

Dameon has a little coffee shop named The Golden Pot, where he likes to sit and "people watch." It's run by a quirky Irish fella named Quinn O’Shea.

Sounds like an interesting story, I look forward to reading it

I knew a fun guy named Mycelium
Who tried to get high off of helium
His voice took a rip but he never did trip
Til he munched Inocybe coelestium

Better than the redstipation content on other platforms.

MMC - Ashley Dameon Hayes, anytime he says or thinks the word "fuck", he crosses himself as an act of contrition.
FMC - Mellissa Renee Jorgenson, she oddly enjoys her work as a crime scene cleaner.

Dameon is a private eye, and used to work for his town's sheriff's office.

Not the MAIN character, but his girlfriend. She does taxidermy. The only thing she picked up from her father that she doesn't hate.

Dameon has a pair of steampunk styled, dark framed, and purple lensed sunglasses as his go to shades.

Dameon, a man of Irish descent, has a head full of vibrant, curly crimson hair that is accentuated by the sharp contrast of his penetrating emerald green eyes. He is often dressed in a dark collared shirt, layered with a grey button-down vest and black pressed slacks.

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

Just finished my most recent read through and edit, and its back with my editor now.

Imagination is magic! 🤌🏻🌸

“Welcome to Clucky Chucky's Chicken Bucky, what can I get started for you today?” A voice squawked through the speaker box. “Let me get a large number five with fried mushrooms and a sweet iced tea,” Dameon replied. “Anything else today?” The voice asked. “No, that should do it,” Dameon replied. “That will be …SQUELCH… at the second window,” the voice responded. Dameon pulled forward and waited while the driver ahead of him completed his transaction. They really need to fix that squawk box, Dameon mused. The window attendant handed them their food and they pulled off. Dameon pulled forward. “Large number five, fried mushrooms and a sweet iced tea, that will be fifteen-thirty-nine, please,” the teen window attendant said. Dameon smiled and handed them his card. “How’s your day going?” Dameon asked. “Clucktastic, and yours?” They replied. “Wonderful,” Dameon responded. “Here’s your card, would you like any sauce today?” They asked. “Not today, I appreciate it though,” Dameon replied. “Great, and here’s your food and your ice-tea. Have a clucking good day!” They smiled. “You too,” Dameon laughed. He double checked his order as he pulled away from the window, pulling a deep fried mushroom out of the box and popping it in his mouth. He devoured his chicken sandwich. And he picked at the side, as he drove to his next stop. The dry cleaners. When he arrived, he encountered a lengthy line of customers.

A casual moment in the aftermath of the story.

I can still find them every so often, saw them at the ren fair year before last. Djarum is probably the one that still tempts me the most to start smoking again.

Shame you can't block them from there too.

At this point it’s been said in a hundred different ways, so I think people are being intentional about not getting it.

My main character witnessed his father being brutally murdered right in front of him. Has spent twenty years hunting the killer, and is now actively hunting him.

Thank you!

I really love the idea of mine, I was inspired for it by the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, but I want to explore multiple turnings of the "wheel."

The first series is now(ish), the second will be post apocalyptic, and then the third will be after the rebirth of the world.

Bram Stoker's Dracula?
