#master post
The words “pantser” and “planner” get thrown around a lot within the various virtual writing communities, especially those who participate in National Novel Writing Month. November has come and gone, but writers do not let the changing of the seasons stop their craft. If one is a planner, they find planning out their novel in advance to be most productive. Some people plan their stories for months in advance before starting to write. Conversely, if one is a pantser, they prefer to take a more freeform approach to their writing projects. In a way, the stories of a pantser write themselves because the author is not afraid to take a concept and run with it.
I am a scientist by trade. My entire life revolves around meticulous planning in order to get the accurate and precise results I need. A byproduct of that is that I seem to not be able to do anything without creating a game plan first. If I don’t, writer’s block sets in and nothing gets done, or I get so focused on one certain detail that the rest of the work falls short. So, I’ve put together a master post of resources to help other planners (and people who want to be planners) organize their thoughts for a productive writing project.
As always, the links I find to be especially apt will be in bold.

Before I start, I got the idea to do this masterpost from this
Also, I’d love if you reblogged this or shared it as it would really help :)
Why I think hating on one direction is stupid
1) The main reason everyone hates them is because they’re “gay”.
Oh, my bad, it’s 2013 I forgot everyone’s a homophobe. Pardon me but what the fuck is so wrong about liking the same gender? Why is it that it’s okay for a man to like a woman but not for a man to like a man? There’s no difference. Plus, who said One Direction are gay. Has anyone officially announced it? Did they say it? I didn’t think so, so sit your ass down. Even if they were what’s the big deal, enlighten me please.
2) They have no talent.
Not like they came third on a show looking for the next big talent, no, who would possiblythink that?
And clearly, people beg to differ. Here are some links that will change your mind (See what I did there)
3) They don’t care about their fans.
Please
tell
me
more
4) Fame has changed them.
wow
much fame
so change
5) “They have no fa-”
Moving onto reasons why you should like them. I’m not forcing you to become a directioner, or even a fan. But I just want you to see, if you dislike them, why you shouldn’t. I want you to see these boys for who they are and not whatever media is exposing.
1) They give back to the community.
They’ve support these charities:
And they support these causes:
(Source : Here)
You know, the times when “Where’s Zayn” jokes were made? Yeah well he was working on an art project to donate to charity.
The boys doodled and signed their life-sized cardboard cutouts to auction off and all money was sent to charity. (I have a photo but I can’t find it as it’s lost within my 1000 pics of one direction oops)
Liam and Harry worked with Trestock and had an auction for the highest bidder to spend a day with them, all money sent to charity.
Oh, and that some percentage (20? Idk really.) of their funds for the WWA Tour, their third tour and the world wide stadium tour, is going to be donated.
They teamed up with office depot to go against bullying.
I’m not exactly the fastest fan, or someone who knows every single detail about the boys so I can’t really list these at the top of my head. I’m definitely missing tons.
2) They’re adorable, period.
3) DON’T EVEN DENY THE FACT THAT THEY’RE BASICALLY EYE SEX.
4) The things they tweet…
5) The relationship they have with each other, I literally can’t. The bromances.
6) Their personalities <3
7) Their music. The lyrics.
I’m in love with you, and all your little things. But you’re perfect to me. Let me be the one to lift your heart up and save your life, I don’t think you’d even realize baby you’ll be saving mine. You’ve got that one thing. That’s what makes you beautiful. You know I’ll be your life, your voice, your reason to be. It’s everything about you.
8) No matter how big they get, they’ll always be grateful for each other and the fans.
9) Do I even want to know what goes on during their concerts.
10) One Direction deserve to be where they are. They worked so hard to get here and they’ve come a long way.
I don’t care if this is just some regular boy band to you, but to me they are literally my world.

Death Stranding Novel Review Master Post
I wanted to record my thoughts and impressions about the book somewhere (as well anything that I think is noteworthy or interesting). I’ll use this post to chain together and separate by chapter. Posts like these I’ll tag as “// Novelization” so it’s easily blockable if anyone doesn’t want to see them (though I will be putting them under a read more.
Fair warning, I tend to be a bit wordy.
First, some general notes:
- The book was written in Japanese first, then translated to English. I’m keeping this in mind while I read since that could mean anything from awkward sentence structure to strange references (translation isn’t exactly a 1 to 1 correlation and all that).
- I noticed that the print is pretty large and spaced out. I admit that I usually read pretty hearty books, though, so this might be more normal for others. I would be surprised if there were even 400 words on a page. The book is 341 pages for reference, not including the index and all that.
- Interestingly, there is a list of characters and some vocab in the front. It includes non-spoilery descriptions of Die-Hardman, Amelie, Bridget, etc. as well as similarly non-spoiler descriptions of BB’s, The Death Stranding, and Bridges. These things are still talked about at length in the book, so I’m wondering why they were included in the beginning.
-It should go without saying that my review will include game & book spoilers. It’ll also probably be rife with my own opinions and interpretations, obviously.

Lucky (2020) Clips (Master Post)
By request, I’m putting the clips of Yasmine in the movie Lucky here. It’s a thing now. While this is Yasmine in a different role, I still see a little Lucy in her. Same when I watch Tori in different things. I see a little bit of Kate. Usually her goofy side. That celebratory cheer she does…
Anyway, I’ll upload the video in three different posts and link them here. I should mention this is a time loop mystery/horror movie. I’m not posting any of the horror though.
That last clip? Shout out to @cowboycarrot
