I hate when people say things like “we’re not all wired to be gifted artists” yeah NONE of us are, every. Single. Artist. Has worked hard to get where they are. We all started drawing stick figures and crying and struggling to make something look how we wanted, but we kept going and THATS what makes us an artist. So no, she was not wired that way. This stuff pisses me off if you can’t tell.

I'm around 60% into The Milkweed Lands for the March buddy read, and I'm finding it really interesting so far. However, there is a big, big problem.

I forgot everything I read about up until now. Literally. FYI, I'm new to these type of books. I don't need much non-fiction in general, but The Serviceberry in the Winter readalong changed my mind on that. When this quest got released as well as the plants one, I found them super interesting and made it one of my 2026 goals to get a badge in either.

So, how do you remember or keep track of all the info and types of insects you read? Do you document them? Annotate? Or is it just insanely good memory? (I'd be jealous haha) Any help would be appreciated.

“I wish I was a fictional character” ima hold your hand well I say this…

Or even if it’s REAL 😭

I swear when I was a young teenager I remember going into Ottakars and looking at the fantasy shelves and finding a book that I proceeded to buy and read where the protagonist was cursed or something to become monstrous or ugly or something along those lines.

It was a classic type of adult high fantasy and this would have been around 15 years ago and I swear I’ve tried googling and looking at lists and nothing ever clicks 😭 it’s like when you have a song stuck in your head but you can’t remember the lyrics so you can’t find it 🤣🤣🤣

A book of your choice is getting an adaptation and you have been put in charge of it, congrats!

1️⃣ What book is getting an adaption? 2️⃣ Is the adaptation going to be a movie, a shorter TV show (8-12 episodes) or a full 22ish episode season? 3️⃣ Are you casting established actresses and actos for the main cast or open castings? Do you maybe have a main cast in mind? 4️⃣ Or: Would you prefer an animated adaptation? In that case, which existing movie’s/show‘s art style would you want? 5️⃣ What is one change, however big or small, you would make? 6️⃣ What is a plot point or scene you are absolutely not willing to change and want to adapt 1 for 1? 7️⃣ What song would be the soundtrack (or at least will totally be in the adaptation)? 8️⃣ Last choice to make: What rating will your adaptation have?

Congrats, your adaptation has been created! See you in front of the TV!

Little bonus: 9️⃣ Go to a random number generator online (1-100) and see that your Rotten Tomatoes score would be👀
