Nice. :> I think they could use some foreground elements to really bring out the sense of scale. Like, Idk exactly where you took these from but if you could get the cliff you're standing on just barely in the shot. If that makes sense. Idk I ain't an expert

WOOF. I will forever be astounded by your command of color. Love the minimalist style too, makes my stuff look over-crowded by comparison.

I'm weird. First-person feels uncomfortable and distant to me, while my third-person writing is often praised for a distinctive narrative voice. Maybe it's because when it's first-person I imagine I'm thinking/saying the words, and then I can't inject the actual perspective character into them. As far as the degrees of third-person, I feel like limited is harder to sustain in long, novel-length stories, but is almost mandatory for short-form writing. The difference between multiple and omniscient is a bit foggy these days, since most of the time you really want to be in your characters' heads, not playing the impartial observer. Your distance is proportionate to your reader's distance, and they want to be right up in the guts of your characters. Not literally. You get the idea.

You should know that writing is not an exact science. It is perhaps more of one than most writers would like you to think, but not so much that you can call it one and leave it at that. Experimentation is what's important. Try different styles and see which one grabs you. Maybe ask your boyfriend to read different versions and see which he likes.

Don't neglect second-person, either! What used to be a forbidden art is now fast on the rise, especially with the advent of hypermedia.

I don't think I could be with an asexual person. Not for long, anyway. Sex is to me an integral part of the progression of a relationship, so I would always feel as though we weren't very close. It's not even that I want to enjoy it, it's that I'd want us to enjoy it together. I dunno, I'm not well-versed in the ace spectrum, maybe I could date someone at the near end for a long time.

I respect those who don't derive pleasure from it, or don't consider it valuable, or just don't pursue it. It's like I say, feelings don't ask permission—you can't dictate to your own flesh what it likes and dislikes. Unfortunately that applies to me as well, and well, I know what I like. I say 'unfortunately' because I've met many an ace person that I'd love to be romantically involved with, but I know in the back of my head that our relationship would inevitably become too strained to sustain. Then again, maybe that's a shitty reason not to try, and I'm just being a bigot.

As far as children, my girlfriend planted the adoption idea in my head and it's stuck like glue. Sometimes I wonder if I'd feel unfulfilled not to have any biological children, but then again I'm a step-child so that's hypocritical of me. But if push came to shove, I think I'd choose to be with someone and adopt over breaking up with them to save the potential of loins-borne fruit.

I use the en/em-dashes all the time so I would appreciate the functionality. RP boards would prolly be thankful for the random symbols too SRY ILU ALL

Read me baby. Maybe I can learn from this and actually make use of one of my three fuggen tarot decks lyin' around

I'll take the 7-spread onnnn... college. Lookin' to go back but there are many uncertainties. Any insights on how to proceed are welcome.

I personally choose to believe that the sum of consciousness, what we feel and experience and how we interact with the world, is something that no other construct or entity existing in the world can replicate. That belief is harder to hold these days, with mounting advances in technology that make it look like our brains are basically just computers. But I still think there's something unaccounted for in technology. Something in our heads we take for granted. A kind of substance that gives us purpose and perspective. If you wanna call that a soul, go for it; if you wanna say God gifted this to us, be my guest. All I'm positing is that we have it.

A skeptic might dismiss this out-of-hand. A biologist almost certainly would. But I also know from a brief glance at history that lots of things have been dismissed out-of-hand before that turned out to be pretty close to the truth later. Our present understanding of epigenetic inheritance, for instance, is starting to resemble the theory of adaptation posed by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, a theory which not more than a decade ago would've been laughed out of any classroom.

So yes, whether it's thought-form or energy or some unseen aspect of our genetic makeup, I believe in a soul of sorts. And even if I didn't, I couldn't fathom that all that energy, all that consciousness, could just up and vanish at the point of brain death. It makes no sense. Surely it persists in some form, as do most things in the natural world. Maybe I'm biased because I dread that outcome, but it is what it is.
