It's The Weekend And I Can WRITE STUFF.

Revisiting a couple drawings of Airiam I did in ClipStudio last year and now I have a new fic idea...

Gonna rewrite Discovery post 2x09. Yup. That's what I'm gonna do.

Once For the Light and The Ithaca Mandate are finished...Buckle up.

ETA TBD.

I've refused to start watching this show until I finish my stories so I don't end up with more crossovers, but...

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS S01E01 | Strange New Worlds

Kelpien Folklore Snippet from Subversion Theory's Upcoming Chapter

“The elders taught us that Hell was a moon that fell into the sea. For seven days the water boiled, and when it finally cooled, the tides carried the moon back to the shore as stones. When the first Kelpiens left the sea and walked upon the shore, the stones cut their feet and they bled. So they fashioned hard soles to walk over the stones, but the stones lodged in the tread and were carried across the world. "Now we say, ‘One cannot know the peace of soft earth if they have never walked upon sharp stones. And if ever you walk with light feet, pray it is not that the stones have been lost, but that you have learned how to carry them.’”

The best of Atlantis.

STARGATE ATLANTIS || “Hide And Seek” 1.03

A list of some of the things I use every day for writing and worldbuilding tasks!

I've been thinking about a post with this info for a few weeks now, so here it is! A note that I am not affiliated with any of these sites or services--I just use them :)

WordHippo

Until late last year, I had been using thesaurus.com to handle my never-ending hunt for the perfect word. I switched to WordHippo because it is much more friendly to searching phrases in addition to just words. It also includes rhymes, translations, word forms, and pronunciations. For non-English speakers, the word forms section could be particularly helpful.

Fantasy Name Generators

This site has just about anything you could need in relation to generators, including ones specific to pop culture and fandoms like Stargate, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and more. There are sections to create simple mockups of character armor, solar systems, languages, and even find some royalty-free music.

PhotoPea

As a graphic designer, I often find myself needing to visualize my characters, environments, and book covers to really immerse myself when I'm trying to write a scene. PhotoPea is a free alternative to Photoshop that even uses many of the same keyboard shortcuts (meaning you can often follow Photoshop tutorials while using PhotoPea). If the Adobe Creative Suite is out of your budget, PhotoPea is, in my opinion, the best free alternative.

Seventh Sanctum

This was the first generator site I used back in my days on FanFiction and FictionPress, and I still like to use it for its slightly less daunting interface when compared to Fantasy Name Generators. I also find it loads faster.

Descriptionary

I stumbled across this site not long ago, and I've become a bit obsessed with it. It's a bit clunky to navigate, but there's a lot of information and helpful tidbits to be found including color symbolism, body language, and words to use/not use and why.

No Man's Sky Photo Galleries

While this isn't a specific site, and the one I've linked here is just one example of many that are out there, I've found No Man's Sky to be one of my biggest inspirations when writing sci-fi and environmentally focused scenes. The sheer scale of No Man's Sky and its procedurally generated worlds make it easy to find inspiration for everything from planets, to fauna, wildlife, ships, and structures.

Inkarnate

This site stands alone if you need something that allows you to build beautiful maps for your stories. It has a free and a paid version, and the free version is fairly robust. If you're someone who writes anything that involves large-scale worlds or anything involving military strategies, it can be really helpful to have the lay of the land right in front of you as you write.

Autocrit

While the free version of this is pretty limited, I've really enjoyed having it accessible for identifying adverbs, story beats, and to compare my original pieces to genres and authors.

Cap That

If you need high resolution screen captures from your favorite shows, this is the place to find them!

I don’t know if anyone has ever done this before but, here ya go… The Different Types of Fanfiction! 

I probably left a few out, but these are the most common, compared to their base fiction’s canon plot. Enjoy! XD

For anyone following The Measure of Logic who might be wondering if I know what I'm doing or actually have a plan...the answer is YES! ...as long as I never, ever lose this $3 notebook.

New York went from winter, to flood season, to "the grass is taller than my Pyrenees" in the span of two weeks.

It's no wonder people say the Northeast is grumpy.
