Well, yes.

It doesn’t have to be a technical feature though.

Why would you sign up for more than one to begin with?

If it’s got a good new feature, audience, promise of service, or something to distinguish it from shouting into the void.

What’s a good reason to sign up for yet another indie writing platform? My time is limited, and there are plenty of alternatives.

Ok, took a while, but I finally got a chance to read this fully.

My main critique is that this piece feels like a series events rather than a whole - the unsatisfying let down could’ve hit harder if there was more build up - e.g a notification when you wake up that you need to buy something, etc.

My other critique is pacing, which is still decent, but slightly…off. I’m not sure if that was what you’re going for, but with a quick re-write, I reckon you could really push the piece up a tier.

Overall, you’ve just described most of my mornings ;P

PCs aren’t phones -They have different expectations and histories.

Would you ever consider buying individual parts, and building your own gaming phone?

The end result is still the same: Less consumer power,.

Allow self tending?

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: This is a chicken or egg question. I do quite a bit of planning, but don’t always follow the plan. Sometimes I feel like the plot or characters are moving in a specific direction, so I’ll pause, brainstorm a few arcs to see where it may lead, then use that to guide future writing.

I don’t like forcing things, because that’s usually a recipe for bad writing. But if I run out of time, then there’s not much choice.

Hope this helps.

Just how was ‘Vector graphics’ only added in this month? Surely its been more than half a century since the term came up?

Hmmm… I’ll include more prompts next time then! :D

+1 for using random prompt!

I can feel the frustration, anger and general kidsarefuckingstupid vibe from beyond the screen. However, to make it even more unsatisfying, you could show a more conscious decision for the kid to be dumb; Let her reach towards towards the frying pan…but to grab some jam to put on top (who even puts jam on grilled cheese?). But overall, you’ve definitely captured the grinding-teeth moments of raising a child (I hope I never see this IRL).

I know very little about electronics. If Impedance is analogous to resistance from AC to DC, how does that equate in terms of the common water-electricity analogy?

Crash!

Rows upon rows of beakers dominoed onto the bathroom floor, cascading into malodor. Shoving tissues up his nostrils, Tom stretched up for the window, faffing around by touch until he found a groove. Heaving twice, it opened with a swoosh, as incoming air puffed aside the cloud of acetone and acid.

Tom took a breath, then gasped as his throat stung. Clenching a fist around a mop, tears of anger filled his eyes as he swabbed the floor.

His face writhing in agony, a couple of seconds passed; then a dozen, then a minute. Bit by bit, the mop disintergrated with each swipe; flakes of cloth dissolving and bubbling away into fumes.

I remember seeing this!

As a bit of feedback, the content seems a bit spammy, but I like the weekly challenge!
