when is the next bus getting here? its a surprise :)

That’s no different from how buses already operate (:

If you fall for a social media prank, do you reblog/pass it on to your followers?

I’m usually pretty flexible about player character backgrounds, but I draw the line at “is secretly Rasputin”. If your character is or has ever been Rasputin, they are not welcome at this table.

is this from experience

I have had a player try to sneak a secret Rasputin into one of my games on three unconnected occasions.

The same player, or three different players with three different Secret Rasputins?

Three different ones, though this was admittedly over the course of thirty years, so it’s not like it was frequent – it’s just weird that it happened thrice.

Now we just need a game where EVERYONE’S a secret Rasputin.

Here "writing group" would be a group of people who meet periodically (in person or virtually) to do activities similar to what a class might do-- writing exercises, critique/feedback swaps of ongoing projects, etc. Workshops and classes might have some overlap, but a workshop would generally occur over a shorter time scale (vote with your heart). Classes that sometimes included a creative writing assignment but weren't about writing are cool, but don't count them for the sake of this poll.

Writer is anyone who writes! Including just for fun and fanfiction!

hey guys so apparently this is a thing a lot of people don't realise but like. if you have had writer's block/ art block for like. six months. a year. two years. that's maybe not a block. that's maybe depression. and you should maybe look into treating the source of the problem instead of just beating yourself up for not being able to write/draw. be kind to yourself and know that your struggle to create isn't based in laziness or a lack of skill or talent.

You also do have like, a finite amount of energy. Especially creative and emotional energy.

The celebrate-the-grind stories where some famous artist held down two grueling part-time jobs to make ends meet and got by on four hours of sleep a night so they'd have time to write their novel or paint or whatever, so what's your excuse are absolute bullshit. We should look at those about the same as we look at long-haul truckers doing a lot of amphetamines to handle driving for 16 hours a day or AAA game studios and crunch time.

So yeah, if your ability to make art has dried up, you really should take a good look at the underlying reasons and see if there's maybe some self-care you need to be doing. The answer is pretty much never "laziness."
