Apparently I am very good at being scary, although I am probably the most harmless person you will ever meet. Just got a good evil laugh and an unnerving stare lol

I have a question: when you're reviewing a chapter to a novel, how long is too long for you? I.e. when do you start to think to yourself "hm maybe this chapter should be broken up into multiple parts to make it easier to read and review"?
soundofmind i've learned i always start to feel it somewhere between 1.5-2k words, depending on the flow

Liminality Hmm it depends on what happens in the chapter personally. There are some novels where the chapters have to be a bit on the longer side, say 3k words, in order to have something I can comment on in a review? (Mostly the literary types where the plot moves along at a slower pace, and the author doesn't just want comments on style.) But 1.5-2k works for more genre/ plot centric stories that move at a somewhat faster pace!

I haven't done a #ThePeoplesPick yet so here we go :)
@figmoon 's in which i am asked the meaning of poetry made my jaw drop with how gorgeous it is! I may be partial to ars poetica (considering I've written a few myself over the years), but I just find it so simple and elegant, saying just what it needs to and nothing more. Poetry about poetry is so beautiful, and this is no exception.
My favorite lines areit is the unspoken words between / the spaces we fill,
Shoutout to fig for writing such beautiful poetry this whole month!
figmoon ahh thank you Cat!! <33

You know, I'm realizing that I haven't been on here in quite a while, so many of you don't know me any more. (I am also unfamiliar with the name changes, so apologies if I have forgotten you).
So hi. I go by either Cat or Blue here, currently using she/they pronouns, I'm a sophomore in college. I am bad at coming up with cool things about myself off the top of my head, so why don't y'all ask me some questions and/or introduce yourselves :)
Spearmint hey Cat, nice to meet you!! =D i'm Spearmint, though i go by mint. i love mint choc chip ice cream :3
i know you're doing napo (yay!), but is there anything else you like to write? stories? scripts?
Apr 23, 2023
TheBlueCat why hello mint! I can't say I'm a fan of mint, but I think it suits you just fine :)
I do write mostly poetry, but I am also working on a novel right now! my ideas are all very long, so it's unlikely for me to write anything shorter lol

I got the go-ahead from my professor to use some of my napo poems in my portfolio (he made a note that it will get flagged by the plagiarism checker) and now I'm handing him like 15 poems when I only needed 7 lol
I get to give him really the good ones though so I've very excited!

i love how college does all these fun activities now, the time of the semester when i have so much work to do i can barely blink without being behind
i get that it's supposed to be stress-relieving, but honestly if i were to try to go to something, it would be more stress-inducing >.<
