So do you think dragons would be ground poopers or are they pooping while flying? I think since they are somewhat bird-like they're pooping while flying.

Lately I’ve read a lot of reviews saying that a book is “telling instead of showing.” What’s your opinion about this?

Personally, I like when the story tells me what the character is feeling. When it doesn’t, I sometimes get a little lost, especially when it comes to emotions or intentions. I think “showing” makes us interpret a lot, and sometimes the character is so different from me that it’s not possible to interpret them correctly. I like being inside the character’s mind rather than having to interpret their behavior.

I understand why a lot of people value “showing,” since it can make a story feel immersive and dynamic. But I don’t think “telling” is inherently a flaw. In fact, it can create a deeper sense of intimacy and clarity. When a narrative explicitly names emotions or motivations, it reduces ambiguity and allows the reader to connect more directly with the character’s internal world. For me is easier connect in this way

Hey! Random question, just for fun. What’s everyone using as a bookmark, right now? Mine’s a Scyther Pokemon card.

Happy reading, everyone! 💕

What do you think you would do if you were living a world where everyone knows the afterlife exists?

There would exist factual evidence for it.

Would you behave differently than in real life? Try to be the best person you can be in order to avoid judgdement in hell (or an equivalent to it). How would you treat someone who does not believe in an afterlife? Or would you refuse to believe in it? Would you join other non-believers and join a group of conspiracy theorists that believe that the afterlife is made up in order to control people and influence their moral compasses? Would you try to convince people of your view?

Here's my answer: I'm not sure if I would still not believe in an afterlife. If I did, I'd probably be terribly afraid of how every small mistake and error I made as a human would determine my fate after death. So I guess, I would convince myself that the afterlife were a hoax in order to be able to enjoy life, but try to mind my business. So I'd probably end up having a similar stance that I have in real life. The difference would just be that I'd be something like a flat-earther and that is hilarious.

(Now I really want to read a book about feral conspiracy theorists in a world where an afterlife/hell exists...)
