Warriors vs Armies
Armies tend to win, if you are not aware. This is a common LitRPG problem. There are two equally common solutions. First, is that is that groups don’t fight down-grade. If a bunch of F-grades (our werewolves’ grade) get in a fight, the faction doesn’t send in C-grades to squash them. One let’s the kids…
On the One Paw
Werewolves will make decisions differently. Instead of the human binary “on the one hand, on the other hand”, they default to four options. One per paw, obviously. This is not an immediate thing. It’s a societal impact thing. Consider humans with prehensile tails: There would have always been a third option. What decisions would have…
Extreme Hydraulic Pressure
Today’s Fun Fact: You can make diamonds from peanut butter. Because diamonds are made entirely of carbon, scientists have successfully crushed peanut butter under extreme hydraulic pressure to strip away the oxygen and hydrogen, leaving behind pure carbon diamonds. “You” is the key word. That means “me”, not “some person, somewhere”. It doesn’t seem that…
No Plot
I wondered if it would come up. It did. There is no plot in the first half of the book. This is not exactly by-design, but it’s not accidental, either. There is a “theme”, but that’s not the same thing. Our intrepid heroes don’t have a goal. They’re not intrepid heroes, yet. They’re just two…
No one’s waiting, but…
Chapter 18. Well… Weapons issue resolved. Some monster needs to be killed, hacked into bits, and the best parts brought back for dinner. That has happened. These people (wolves?) just don’t shut up. Chapter 18 is now at 27 pages. It’s amazing how much dialog spews forth when you take a bunch of pups on…
Axis Orientation
I’ve found it useful to envision human behavior as set of rotated normal curves. Pick some attribute and incorrectly assume a normal distribution of it. Now spin that curve around its peak. You get a normal “mound”. Each individual attribute is its own curve. The mound is all of them together. We’re each a point…
Chapter 18 Shall Submit
That’s the weekend goal. It need four scenes. Updated with what actually happened. And some back-edits to put in things I forgot. I’m tired of being stuck on this chapter. 19, 20, and 21 are done. 22 is getting there. 23 is building up. 18 shall fall before me! Why, yes, this post is entirely…
Evening Narrator Hunting
The narrator can be difficult to spot in the crepuscular gloaming. There is a point to this, two actually: To list the one’s that I’ve caught and to justify what I leave behind. I’m not necessarily “right”, but I will have a reason. …let’s get back to the lodge, eat something, then we can figure…
Lunchtime Narrator Hunting
From Chapter 4: … He kept his arms loose at his sides. Below his flexing knees, his well balanced feet didn’t shift. Tom’s aim did. “Ooof!” Luke grunted as a punch to his stomach landed. I think that one works. A bit later: Tom nodded, turned, and led the way toward the main lodge. The…
Learning 2 Bake From Scratch LXXXVI
Garden Strawberry Cake I made it up. Guess the secret ingredient! It’s the layer cake recipe from the back of the Swan’s Down Cake Flour box, which I’m writing down here so that I can throw the box away. Garden Strawberry Cake 2 sticks butter – room temp2 cups sugar3 cups sifted Swan’s Down Cake…
