Thanks, that did the trick! (Additionally, moved the file from downloads to a new folder in windows)

Keep getting an error when I go to download - “Cannot write file - access is denied”, and this is after it says that login is successful.

That was a great read! The descriptions of the Pale Wood and dark forces, and the reunion between father and daughter stood out. Would love to read a continuation! I’ll PM you a poem I’ve been working on.

Would love to read either horror or poetry, whatever you got! One recurring topic in my writing is teaching, since it’s easier to write what you know. And I also some editing in my work, simplifying texts for students to make them more accessible.

I’m down. You’re racking up a good score with multiple partners! That’s great. What do you tend to write? For me it’s poetry and short stories.

If you haven’t already explored the literary genre of Afrofuturism or Caribbean futurism, it would be good to read some exisiting literature. The Deep by Rivers Solomon depicts merfolk as the descendents of pregnant African women thrown overboard from slave ships. Tentacle by Rita Indiana doesn’t explicitly contain merfolk, but it does focus on water deities and mystical properties of the sea (as well as time travel and colonialism) in order to represent indigenous perspectives.

True, most Salvadorans support Bukele at the moment. However, several I’ve talked to in the US are hesitant to go back and visit relatives because their (non-gang) tattoos would make them targets for arrest.

Sure, control an oppressive and evil gang with an oppressive and evil government. That should work out well. Populist leaders with the power to lock up anyone seldom abuse their powers /s

Thanks for the input! I do like the busyness, but agree that the remains could definitely stand out a bit more. Tweaked the levels to try and strike a better balance.

• Call upon Lemmings
• to graciously lend a hand
• with motivation

(I obviously can’t figure out formatting on Liftoff) Into the idea of a writing partner if anyone wants to collab on that!
