Sketching in 3D. It's really all about the tools - the easier and more powerful they are, the more fluid the process. This is Moi3D, it's super fluid and a tool I really like. I'd go from here to either #zbrush or #nomadsculpt for deep level detailing. Still, starting with a sketch on paper is a must I think.

Generating Story Ideas
on C. L. Nichols, SpecFic Author
From ancient myths to modern novels, stories have the power to captivate, inspire, and provoke thought. But how does one embark on the journey of creating a compelling story? #worldbuilding #plot #story #storyideas
I need random words and genre suggestions
Drop 2-3 words
1-3 genre of storytelling
If you have a specific LGBTQIA/BIPOC you want to read a story about add that as well. Even various lifestyles you want to see as part of a story.
Every story I have written is LGBTQIA and I cover all ethnic flavors of human.
Now I will not be writing erotica or fan fiction in these stories. If you want that, pay me and I will write something just for you.
Check out the other stories I have written so far. 20 stories of many styles, genres and all read by me! If you did not notice I am stupid cute.

Monstrous Mischief in Atlantis
On a sunny day, amidst the ruins of the fabled Atlantis, two mischievous monsters, Grumble and Snort, embarked on a leisurely walking trip through the lavish gardens that once adorned this lost paradise. Oblivious to the grandeur and history that surrounded them, their sole purpose was to pick flowers ...

If you're not 'optically challenged' like myself, it's likely that sound is just one of those things you don't necessarily think about very often.
Consider however, the sound of the cars passing outside, the birds in the trees, the engine on your bus, car or train to work.
AS well as what your eyes tell you, there's an absolutely fascinating world to be found with the help of your ears, too.
The next time you're on a train, in the back of a cab or perhaps in a cafe drinking your beverage of choice, try closing your eyes and considering whether you can tell what's going on around you simply by the noises in your environment.
Is someone in loud shoes walking toward you and pulling out a chair at the next table?
Is the sound of the person who just got on the train one of someone who's happy, or just trying to get to work?
Sound-listening can be just as interesting as people-watching.

The Enigmatic Conclave
In the heart of the dense forest, where the fog weaved its ethereal tendrils, stood a crooked old house. Its weathered facade loomed ominously, the very picture of antiquity and mystery. Every year, on the eve of the 24th of December, an extraordinary gathering took place within its shadowed halls.

🤔 Or is it just me, figuring out how to start my day?
My grandfather told me this story when I was a kid.
Once upon a time, a king punished a man for a crime. Being a merciful king, he announced that the sentence would be 100 lashes on the back, but the man would have the choice of eating 100 huge raw onions instead.
Wishing to avoid the pain, the man chose to eat onions. After tearfully choking down 12 onions, decided to opt for the lashes instead. But after 21 lashes, he was in so much pain, that he switched back to the onions.
Finally, he ended up eating 100 onions, and receiving 99 lashes on his back.
Let me tell you the story of an object in a museum. Well this story is not really about the object, so much as it is about connecting with random strangers.
So I was in the Romano-Germanic Museum - Köln/Cologne (https://roemisch-germanisches-museum.de/Homepage), wandering around because I was a conference widow. I had already been yelled at for taking photos in a temporary exhibition, which apparently I wasn't supposed to take photos in, but no one had told me, and I had been encouraged to take photos of the rest of the museum provided they were flash free. So I was a bit nervous of the guards.
Anyway, it's a great museum, highly recommend checking it out if you are in Köln/Cologne.
So I was on the upper level looking at a partial recreation of a Roman villa, where they'd found bits of floor mosaic and flakes of frescos and had put the jigsaw back together. I checked in with the guard about whether I could get a closer look, and he told me that I could walk around the recreation in these spaces, so I did.
And then he asked me if I wanted to see his favourite object in the museum. I had never considered that guards would have parts of the collection that they were passionate about, so said yes. He took me over to the pictured Cage Cup (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cage_cup). Told me about the history of glass making in Köln/Cologne, how few of these survive whole, how some were destroyed in WW2, and what he liked about it. It was a great chat. He encouraged me to take a stack of photos, which I did (though the white balance was crap - sorry), and then suggested that if I was interested in art I should go to another museum he also worked in and he'd show me his favourite stuff there. I wasn't available to go on his next shift (I think we were leaving), so I missed out.
Anyway, connections happen sometimes when you least expect it. This conversation happened in 2012, and over 10 years later I still think about that guard and how kind it was of him to tell me about this object. And if he was trying to pick me up, it was a good strategy.
I performed at a #spokenword event last night for the first time in a long while. I was really nervous, but it was good. The theme was World War III Literary #Cabaret.
My #story, #Balls, is below. It's a performance piece, not sure how it'll come off reading it from a screen. So just picture me turning to stage right, waving my fist and shouting "Plonkers!" at the right moment.

BALLS
My grandparents grew up in caves. Granddad says it wasn’t safe to go outside most of the time. Some people who did got sick, some even died.
My parents remember it too from their childhood: they were taken to shelter in the big underground spaces when the burning rain came, or the choking clouds that often followed it.
They say it was because of the wars. World Wars, they call them. They say there were three of them.
But they were all over long before even Granddad was born. There are stories, but I think nobody really knows what happened in the before times.
It all sounds scary, but really – people causing burning rain? It doesn’t seem very likely, does it?
What I do know, is that we’re doing better now. Better than when I was a child, and even better than when the elders were. We’re growing more food and we’ve recovered lots of machines and books and stuff from the before times.
There are a lot more people in our valley than when I was a kid, both from growing families and from strangers who have come to join us. We’ve explored more of the ruins and fixed up homes. It seems to be the same all over the land. We’re in a period of prosperity.
Now, even though we understand some of the old technology, there are still lots of machines we find that we can’t get to work. Mum says they need something called electrisss— something...
She’s in the science team, so she should know. They make a little electrisss in big boxes called batch-reez. Apparently they used to have lots of it, judging my all the machines. No idea what they needed so many machines for.
I think that was one of their ages, in the before time. They had a stone age, and a bronze age, and a plastic age. Maybe also an electrisss age. I wonder what that makes us now.
But even though we’ve figured out so much, it’s not all good news. Since there are more of us, the land is getting crowded. There’s only so much wood to gather, so many animals to hunt. The people in the next valley are getting jealous of us. Plonkers!
There have been some fights over the past couple of years, and it’s getting worse. There were some bad clashes, and a few people were killed just last week.
We’ve had no choice but to build up our defences. We do have some weapons, even some guns from the before times, although the powder is hard to make.
I heard some of the elders talking, saying there were tensions all over the land, with clans grouping together. One of them said it would lead to war. She thinks people are just built that way. We’re doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
I think she’s wrong. I’ll tell you why.
We’ve recently recovered a... carrnon? Conan? Cannon. A cannon.
A big old metal thing. Our weapons team got it to work. It shoots big metal balls. It’s not the most accurate thing.
Apparently they found it in a museum. Maybe in the before times they didn’t know how to use it properly. But some of our fighters worked it out. You load it with these big metal balls filled with the fire powder and use more of the powder to send it flying. Something like that.
The cannon balls explode when they land or hit something.
I watched a few days ago. They tested it out on an old building. The devastation!! The whole house collapsed, rubble and dust flying everywhere. And the noise of the explosion!
Imagine – if these cannon balls were fired on people. We could annihilate each other. Surely that fear will cause all civilised people to recoil in horror and end all fighting. Surely with these cannons, there can never be another war!

Just landed from home.social. Not the best at profiles or intros but here goes my #introduction :
Where am I: Trapped on an island, next to Europe, where stupid people won their vote to become insignificant, have rivers poisoned, get ripped off by the government and other bad stuff.
Trying to wrap my head around being creative but with a long, fluctuating burnout it’s feeling impossible but I’m not giving up just yet. Just let me find a box large enough and strong enough to hold that burnout, depression and other nasties at bay and we’ll start the party.
Most of the time I think I'm familiar enough with myself that, when I discover something new or find the correct (or at least, better) interpretation / explanation of something I didn't know or thought I understood, it can either make me confused, really happy or both at the same time.
Somehow it's been through reading, listening to others on topics about or related to my personal discoveries as well as talking with friends about those topics that have probably helped the most when it comes to figuring things out about myself.
I don't have the confidence to share much of anything yet but I'm hoping that I can learn how to share and how to find or grow my confidence whilst I'm here.
What am I:
#Human & sometimes my alter-ego, Ryuno @theRhinoDragon
#Autistic
#Asexual
#Agender or #NonBinary (this is the question?)
Things I enjoy:
#Animals
#Nature
#Humour
#Art

#Reading
#Movies
Things I try to, enjoy doing/ work on:

Chromatic Exodus
In the vast expanse of the azure sky, two monstrous siblings, Zephyr and Ember, soared effortlessly with their ebony balloon, seeking refuge in a distant land where equality prevailed. Their journey over the ocean was a testament to their indomitable spirit and unyielding hope for a brighter future. ...

#Links to #Story Samples Written by R.S.
Over the past half-year, I've written very short fiction stories in my universe for #Mastodon under the #writingWonders hashtag. They're first citizen samples of my 1st person writing, my casual—made to be read aloud—writing style, and include my still evolving characters. None tally much more than 750 words, with a hard character limit set by my instance. I think they're an easy read. Some are based on my earlier works, some on works not yet written. With the exception of the excerpts, they represent the time off stage of the novel, between stories or scenes, or before future stories; or scenes rewritten from another POV that isn't in the story.
Most of what was written for Mastodon was written quickly, edited immediately, then posted. It could be better, but I've resisted more than revising typos or inappropriate words. Everything is experimental; nothing should be considered canon. So, each in roughly chronological order:

And all over the world, the old literature, the popular literature, is the same. It consists of very dignified sorrow and very undignified fun. Its sad tales are of broken hearts; its happy tales are of broken heads.

Back when I was a teenager in the mid 90s, my family would go on camping trips to france in the summer. One year we stayed at this gorgeous campsite on the Gulfe Du Morbihan.
Side note: If you ever get the chance to explore this area I throughly reccomend it. Even as a moody teen, it's beauty was not lost on me.

The old forest had always whispered its tales of darkness and despair, but none were as chilling as the legend of the Monster House. Deep within its gnarled embrace stood a house, crafted entirely from ancient wood, its splintered boards weathered by time and tragedy. The locals spoke of an eerie light that shone through its dusty ...

The Golden Path
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a poor monster mother and her child. The mother, whose name was Gertrude, was a kind and loving creature, but she and her child lived in poverty, struggling to make ends meet. The father, whose name was Harold, worked as a fisherman in a distant village by the sea.

My latest #flashfiction #story, starts with a healthy dose of Canadian philatelic history, swerves into some strong opinions on the current state of postage stamp design, and ends with a confession of forgery and deception.
Not bad for 200 words.

Embracing the Gothic angle of my "Orphans of Opry Tower" story is breathing new life into the concept as I continue my brainstorming for it.

“What we do see depends mainly on what we look for. ... In the same field the farmer will notice the crop, the geologists the fossils, botanists the flowers, artists the colouring, sportmen the cover for the game. Though we may all look at the same things, it does not all follow that we should see them.” ― John Lubbock
"It's Important How I See the World" - new blog post:
https://livingtheemersonrule.com/its-important-how-i-see-the-world/
#perspective #motivatedperception #story #community #ayni #wearetheworld #amwriting
New updated #introduction / pinned:
The "Starship Schrödinger's Destiny" is an #interactive #vr #scifi #story about the crew of a #flyingsaucer
The story is about #manyworlds and we love the title because it's a contradiction: There can be no single destiny in a Schrödinger multiverse, all outcomes all happen with varying amplitudes.
And yet it is more #deterministic to have those amplitudes, than to just be selecting outcomes randomly. There is also a sense in which we are all destined to see all outcomes.
We are looking forward to building this choose-your-own-adventure in a multiverse setting, because there are so many ways in which all the choose-your-own-adventure style books demonstrate a multiverse too. All the possible outcomes existing all at once, but read with varying amplitudes.
But it's not just our story: The engine we are building to let us tell our story will be open for others to enact their own. To puppet the characters themselves, tell their own story. In a multiverse, all things can happen.
That's the plan anyway. Very early still. V0.3 took like four years. Hoping V0.4 will be quicker, but I seem to have decided it's time for the complete-rewrite, so. Ugh.
But there are milestone-movies along the way:
V0.1 saw our story "Forgettery".
https://starshipsd.com/pre/forgettery/
V0.2 was entitled "Eggs"
https://starshipsd.com/pre/eggs/
V0.3 was entitled "Payment"
https://starshipsd.com/pre/payment/
V0.3 is a massive leap forwards, which is why it has taken so very very long, and the coming V0.4 I hope will be basically feature-complete and written so I can share as much of the source as possible.
In the meantime, we have a side-story about aliens discovering a planet on the brink of economic and environmental collapse! Lots of shorts here:
https://starshipsd.com/observers/
Here is the first story chapter serving as an introduction to the game. The beginning follows Fenya on one of her adventures, so...
Let's become a fox! :blobfoxlurk2owonotice:
The full text is behind the link as it's a bit longer, ~5800 characters. You can also cheat to read the alien text if you want.
Next part will probably be creating this visually.

If you're not 'optically challenged' like myself, it's likely that sound is just one of those things you don't necessarily think about very often.
Consider however, the sound of the cars passing outside, the birds in the trees, the engine on your bus, car or train to work.
AS well as what your eyes tell you, there's an absolutely fascinating world to be found with the help of your ears, too.
The next time you're on a train, in the back of a cab or perhaps in a cafe drinking your beverage of choice, try closing your eyes and considering whether you can tell what's going on around you simply by the noises in your environment.
Is someone in loud shoes walking toward you and pulling out a chair at the next table?
Is the sound of the person who just got on the train one of someone who's happy, or just trying to get to work?
Sound-listening can be just as interesting as people-watching.
In any case, here's a little story I made about sound, and how I personally perceive it on a daily basis.

Our six-year-old handed us a note. His teacher had called my wife and I in for an emergency meeting. We asked our son if he had any idea why, and he said, "She didn't like a drawing I did."
We went in the next day.
His teacher pulled the drawing below out and said, "I asked him to draw his family and he drew this. Would you mind explaining?"
"Not at all." my wife said. "Family vacation. Snorkeling off the Bahamas.

Although I don't yet know if this #instance will be my last, it's time for a brief #introduction.
I have no idea how to do this, so I'll write a short #story about myself, and you can find the rest in my #bio.
As a six-year-old, I stole a car from my father to go for a drive. I didn't get very far because I was too short to see where I was going, and my father caught up with me on foot.
Next time I'll be better prepared.

The short story "Grave of the Fireflies" (萤火虫之墓) by Cheng Jingbo (from the Invisible Planets anthology) is really fabulous, both figuratively and literally. The vision and poetry, the emotions and the scale, the detail -- it's amazing how she managed to convey all that in such a limited space.
The title can be no coincidence but there is no direct connection with "Grave of the Fireflies" by Akiyuki Nosaka or the anime.
You can read this very beautiful short story for free, and there is even an audio version

It has reminded me of the story of The Big Bad Wolf and 3 little pigs.
The straw house (no precautions) and the stick house (vax only) were convenient, easier, but not using known best practices so when the wolf came huffing and puffing they were blown down. Only the brick house built with best practices of mask, vax, and distance keeps the pigs alive and the wolf's huffing and puffing at bay.

Woke up to baby dove perched on our balcony ledge. Though, it was still limping, it seemed to be using wounded leg more. So, after one last antibiotic application I thought to return it to its folks.
As soon as we stepped out the building, it heard the call of 2 adult Eurasian collared doves like itself.
Off it flew to the nearest tree, to be joined by the doves, seconds later.

There exists the timeline T0, which is all of history if nobody messed it up with time travel. T1 is created when the "first" time traveler messes with it. Now an other traveler makes T2, trying to "set things right" as close to T0 as possible.
Pretty standard, yeah? But what I can't think of is a story where the native residents of T1 (who don't exist in T0) want to defend their home timeline from the T2 invader from the future, who wants to effectively unmake them.
Usually the story has the extras helping T2 "fix" things back to how they were "originally" but for them, T1 is the original.
Any stories like that?

I think the main thing is we live in poetry and then relate those experiences as prose. You get back to the original poetry by stripping away all the extras added after your experience. This can be societal expectations, self curation, attempts at settling ambiguity, etc. But none of it has much to do with your actual life. #writing #poetry #flash #story
Creeping your way down the hall, you notice the little girl's bedroom door is propped open just a little. You stick your head into the crack and carefully nudge the door open with your paw. You enter a moderately sized room, the girl asleep on her bed. Above it dangles a chain you think you could pull on. Entering the room, you notice a little spring sticking out from behind the door.

You have only just begun to ensure your domain is rid of threats and little annoyances. Leaving your gift on the bed you hop off and dart out the door.

Holding onto your prize, you wander the house until you find the master bedroom. Fortunately for you, the door is open. Entering, you make your way to the bed and hop up, perching at your humans feet. Lifting your head and dropping your gift on the bed, you let out a prideful meow. Mother stirs and looks down, then gasps. She tries to play it off but you can tell your gift didn't go over as you'd hoped.

You've come too far to give up now. Tapping into your dormant hunting instincts, you leap from the floor to the counter, and then onto the top of the fridge. You watch and wait for the moment, then when the fly strays a little too close, you jump. It tries to escape but a quick swipe as gravity exerts its influence over you catches the fly in your grasp. As you land on the ground you let out a victory meow, your enemy vanquished.

T.X. Watson's "Boston Hearth Project"
Could you recommend any other short stories which can be a good intro?

#Genre #Definitions may only matter in the academic sense, but they are meaningfully distinct. They denote a #Story's main focus/purpose. e.g. A #Horror story's purpose is to frighten/horrify the reader and reveal what's cathartic and healthy about doing so. For one, if we don't confront our fears in some way, they only grow.
