Hey people who write, anyone else interested in starting a writers group? We have a few people now but always looking for more to help us get off the ground.

Theres no pressure its just to give us soft deadlines and accountability to keep practicing and get some critique and help each other out. Probably discussions online once a fortnight or so but in a way thats persistent so it can be added to, with timezones and stuff its not always easy to meet at the same time exactly

This is my #introduction I guess. Been on masto for about 18 months or so, found myself tooting most about tabletop stuff so here I am.

I am forever jumping from one thing to another so dont expect much in the way of consistency from me.

Currently working on:
An RPG based on the Jungle Book
A semi-portable solo kit for 6mm Impetus
Voice acting
Writing short spec fic stories

Sonetimes you gotta post the selfie of the look you want instead of the one you have! Its the best way to make it happen and feel adorable too

I am beautiful

I'm sure i have more thoughts on this but they aren't very coherent atm

If there is a chronic outbreak of stress and anxiety among people of a certain demographic or in a certain environment, do we not think that there is a good chance it is that environment that is contributing to that problem.

A lot of resources focus on what you can do for yourself and rightly so but often do it in a way that minimises the real role that working environments, housing pressures and financial issues that are entirely the fault of structural problems.

Mindfulness in and of itself is a good thing, being aware of our thoughts and the way they can contribute to our distress is 100% useful and good.

However, the focus that a lot of current mindfulness resources (especially corporately endorsed ones lets be honest) have on internalising the blame for stress and other mental health issues is not good. Stress and anxiety are our brains' warning systems (1/2)

Last time I post about this so as not to continually spam my instance but just want to give it one more chance on the federated timeline.

We're starting a writers group for people to motivate and critique each others work, loosely organised around meeting every couple of weeks and chatting between times. Any type of writing and any experience welcome. DM me and I can give you links!

Got to play some Impetus again, it's a very nice system, got 2 games in in about 4 hours this afternoon. Loving 6mm, I now have 3 armies and can keep them all in one biscuit tin together!

(And anyone else that wants to join up)

I've created a framapad folder to do submissions with, all i need from each of you is an email to invite you to join it

Hey so we have four of us now, gonna remake the post to get it out on the fedi tl and see if there is anyone else interested too. In the meantime, any ideas about a platform for sharing stuff and for meeting up?

As much as I dislike google, docs seems pretty ideal, is there a foss alternative? I've been looking at riot.im for the discussion meetups, which is matrix based and has persistent chat if you miss thediscussion or want to add to it later

You've one foot in the maelstrom One on this earthly plane
While in that blasted house of yore The old ones rise again!

So Mother tell your children
Not to do what you have done
Don't spend your life in squamous love
In the house of a Great Old One

There is a house in New Orleans Where darkened rites are done
That mother plans to raise a brood To spawn a thousand young...

Witch House of the Rising Sun
(With apologies to both HP Lovecraft and the Animals....)

There is a house in New Orleans Where no one ever goes
The Whatelys live inside the manse And the eerie witch-light glows

The mother is a cultist
She worships Azathoth
Their daddy is an outer god
Known as Yog-Sothoth

Now the only thing a cultist needs Chalk circle and a book
To summon up blasphemous things Like the horror at Red Hook
