THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

And I have a lot of research I need to do… Thank you for that as well.

The story was honestly just a concept that just floated into my brain and I was like “hmm I haven’t had a ton of motivation to write, but the story makes me feel really excited” And then I realized that I would probably have a lot of…[Read more]

Yeah, I have a lot of alcoholism in my family, so I know how they act, but I don’t know how they feel or what they think.

I just have one quick scene that I need this information for. It can be aggravating how much research goes into a few words XD

@the-inkspiller

I actually knew some of that! I was in love with horses for a…[Read more]

@erynne You’re welcome, it’s certainly something that not everyone really knows what it’s like. Even for experienced drinkers it can be tough to divide up into understandable steps.

*Decides it is*

Um, hi… I was, sorta wondering if anyone knows what it feels like being, uh, drunk? 😂

I need to know for one of the novels I’m working on, but it’s not something I want to look up or ask my family, lol

@the-inkspiller

So glad to see you again!  And thanks for your answer.

Another question: if someone were stabbed in the back with a stiletto [dagger], where would the best place be for the stab to be survivable and how long would recovery be?
