Ahh yes, my poor Whitestar Calathea that gets a spider mite infestation every few months is definitely proof of this. Always the same one. Never anything else around it.

You can always freeze/can them for later use!
Fancy! This looks like it came from one of those collector edition sites for books! Definitely a pretty piece to put on the shelf.
I read this book last year. Here is my review for it which still sums up my feelings for it now as well:
`This book had such an interesting premise, the in-between world, the creepy atmosphere, the strange happenings. Yet it felt like there was still something missing, some piece to tie it all together better.
The descriptions of the willows and the strange world were great and really set the unsettling tone. I kind of wish more time was spent there and the mystery was unraveled further within that realm rather than getting all the information from outside sources. As much as the museum was a cool concept it didn’t feel all that connected.
However overall if you don’t overthink it, it’s a good story with an unsettling atmosphere and I did enjoy it. `
It’s looking good! I have a similar problem actually, and I’ve been noticing that my older leaves are also slowly deteriorating as well making the overall plant seem a bit less nice. I ended up chopping some of the vines back almost all the way to regrow some new branches near the bottom to replace the old leaves. You can probably do the same over time with all of them to keep them fresh.
Ah I’ve had this on my list for a while now. This is a good reminder to maybe bump it up again because it still sounds so good!
Ah I grabbed this recently but haven’t gotten to it yet. It sounds really good!
You can try 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton! I really liked that one. It’s more Groundhog Day but with a bit of a twist on each iteration if that makes sense. I don’t want to spoil too much but it was a wild ride putting things together.
What a beautiful majestic boy he became! Love the little baby meow.
I believe he said it took place in the same universe at some point? So there will probably be overlap between them.
Yeah, after finishing the Wheel of Time series it felt like I really lost something important and it was so hard to get into other fantasy worlds for a while due to how immersed I was in it for so long.
This plant is just severely etiolated as it’s desperately searching for more light, not mutated! You will need to give it better lighting conditions if you want the new growth to be more compact.
Man this is a ton of new stuff! Just when I think I’ve played enough Stardew there’s another update and I start all over again.
Love the old school retro vibes! I’ve used OBS for screen capture before, but I’ve heard good things about Davinci as well.
I read this book recently that fits into the mystery/crime/creepy category: What Lies in the Woods by Kate Alice Marshall
Looks like a fig tree to me! Hard to say what type until it starts to fruit though, the leaves are very similar. You’re in for a treat though when the crop comes in!
Ah that’s cool! I look forward to seeing your updates then! Have you seen the other spin off games like Paralives and Life by You? It might be interesting to see what kinds of stuff they’re lifting from sims and where they are expanding/changing things.
Looking awesome! This makes me want to install Sims again honestly. Loved those games. Are you planning on going in that life sim genre?
I remember once reading that someone did this for real. And another person would tear their paperback book in half if it was too thick to hold. I was very sad for a while after that.
I have written the first draft of 2.5 books!
The first one was the 1/2 which just got a little messy and I didn’t enjoy it. It was my first major writing project and I just didn’t organize it well enough. I also grew out of the idea quickly and decided to stop and not waste more time.
My second book I managed to finish at 70k I believe (it’s been a while). Similarly I grew out of the idea by the end and it would have needed major revisions to push through editing.
My third and most recent one I really love, the first draft is complete and I am slowly editing it. Though editing seems to be my weakness it seems because it’s taking far longer than it should. This one I would love to actually clean up and eventually publish but yeah, going to take a while to get there!
I use Scrivener to write in and I highly recommend it! (you can usually find some discount codes for it as well). I like to use it to quickly draft the storyline and then expand each scene as I go. It also has some handy features for organizing research notes and pictures. It’s packed with so many features so it’s a pretty popular writing app among writers in general.
