Hey everyone! Opening this up to the general forum would be fun. One possibility is maybe limiting it to a certain amount of people so it doesn’t get too complicated or overwhelming?

I’m setting writing aside for a while, so I won’t join in this time. Runawin says farewell. 😉

Alcohol stoves are so cool! It’s a little round, glass jar that’s filled with alcohol and has a short wick. There’s a little stand with a wire mesh top that goes over it. When you light the wick, it acts like a little stove. You can boil small beakers of liquid in a few minutes.

Everything’s going pretty well. School is crazy, but I’ve still had a little time for writing in between all the essays and annotations and balancing chemical equations. 😛

I’m doing the same, actually. I used to avoid any sort of plotting whatsoever, but it turns out that writing is much easier for me when I have a plan. *nods* So my draft is on a bit of a pause right now while I figure out the rest of the plot.
