I’ll never forget the time I was sitting with this guy, nice kid, didn’t know him well, I think we must have had a bottle of wine or some questionable hashish or something, and in response to an awkward silence I just started talking and ended up going on a long meandering rant about how ugly American robins are. I’m talking a full monologue. I had an intro and conclusion. It was pointlessly vehement. I have never been so mean or loquacious about anything in my life.
Consider my horror when this perfectly nice guy wordlessly lifted his shirt to reveal a full-torso prismacolor tattoo of his spiritual soul animal, the American robin.
1. Pinto. Foolproof bean, good and soft, can be refried with utter perfection.
2. White beans. There's this sandwich spread you can make by smooshing up white beans and cooking them with thyme, it's killer. Put that on some sourdough with pickled beets and sprouts, you're in heaven babey
3. Boiled peanuts. They're really good.
4. Red lentils. I've never been a lentils guy, but red lentil daal is deliciose, plus ssoooo easy to make. Green lentils still suck ass as far as I'm concerned though!!
5. Gotta shout out good ol black beans, really can't go wrong with these fellas. But not #1 cuz they're a normie bean
The “oh I could definitely write this fanfic in under 5000 words and it really wouldn’t take me that long” voice in your head is actually the devil speaking
I have a question for the fanfic writers among you: How do you treat your work in progress when a very similar story is put out there? Do you go on writing - in the spirit that everything is unique in its own way - or do you abandon the piece - in the spirit of preventing 'superfluous' contributions?
Let's add a further wrench into the process by saying the recently published work by another author, so similar to your own, seems so much better written than your own (granted we are always our own worst critics). Where do you go with that?
Maybe this is a question for readers, too. Do you mind reading similar works/story lines?
Im wondering if christians gonna come back soon, or just nick. Theyre having a dynamite not just in home state but in his home town, like 4 days after hes headlining an iron man match at defy so theres...theres no way HES not there
