That Moment...

It's all about the circles you run in, right? I mean if you're in Nebraska raising cows, you're going to step in cow shit all the time. Not so much in NYC. But it's still cool to get a connection from some unexpected place or person. I met my girlfriend in Japan, turned out we were one county away from each other in Virginia -- who would've thought.

 

The owner and I were the people having the conversation. She was spouting off her many visions for the salon.

Sorry to confuse you.

@Aaron DC is good about following along as I rant and rave like a lunatic, so I wasn't super worried about setting the scene.

 

That moment you realize @No-Name Slob wants to move to Colorado for other organic reasons.

 

Got it. It's a small world.

 

When I was 15, I went to watch a small performance of The Nutcracker in a dance troop my sister was a part of. Turns out, we learned 10 years later, that my husband played Uncle Drosselmeyer in that very production.

 

What, pray tell, might the organic reason be?

 

That's just a perk. The mountains are the main draw.

 

TMW when you learn that mountains are a new euphemism for 'some green'. A new take on "go tell it on the mountain. Over the hills and everywhere?"

 

A plant that is legal there.

 

Mountains ==

I would move there for the sport and the cycling but yeah. The mountains. Mountains pwn.

 

Yes, my friend, Mary Jane, happens to live in Colorado. But I call her occasionally, so I don't miss her enough to move there just to see her.

 

TMW you sadly have to leave the board because you have to 'make the doughnuts' in the morning. Goodnight, and stay classy writersforum.org.

 

TMW you see a pic you created some time ago when learning about layers and background removal and realise it could form the basis of a book cover. Elements of 3 photos you took, merged into one.

Spoiler: Star girl

 

I like that, that's decent enough photoshopping. Are you a photoshop geek like me? And it does look like a book cover. Have you seen these? http://flavorwire.com/378513/20-embarrassingly-bad-book-covers-for-classic-novels/1

 

Paintshop Pro / Lightroom geek.

I'm seeing agreement with book cover and encouragement to look at 20 embarrassingly bad book covers and feeling like there's an insinuation there.

 

The forum should have a book cover creating contest. I wish I could use MS paint or Gimp better.

 

Contest or even just a thread with prompts.

 

But question is, who is going to teach me?

 

TMW you hear that Sharknado got another sequel, and you think, "You know what? Humanity is going to be just fine."

 

This guy is

 

I've tried and failed many times.

 

TMW...

You have to leave for your volunteer job and your brain's all, “Hey! Let's world-build a story today!! ”

TMW...

You realize that you might be thinking way too hard on a piece of your world concept even though the worry seems legit.

TMW...

You realize that no matter what, someone, somewhere is going to get offended over what you write and it's liberating.

TMW...

You've run out of TMW's for now.

 

TMW your brand new, really cool pair of riding hose gets caked in mud because of an overzealous horse. Why even bother trying to look swanky at the stables...

TMW said horse is caked in mud up to its stomach and you're the one who's gonna have to wash it up.

TMW you don't actually care about either inconvenience because you love that damn horse.

 

TMW you forgot agreeing to play at a wedding means agreeing to whatever they choose.
Give me oil in my lamp...? How the heck do I play that without sounding sarcastic?!
