My masterpiece. Love me.

[ho0ly]

WELL HELLO THERE. I have not blogged here in a hot minute. Some things have happened. FIRST, I have decided to merge my two Youtube channels together into my original, Holly Handgrenade (Lextryagain will be sticking around until I get all my gaming videos moved over, but if you want to sub, sub to HHG.) Second, I had been planning on moving to Atlanta recently but those plans are on hold probably indefinitely. Staying in Orlando for now. I need the stability.

Second-Point-Five: Almost had a fire in my current apartment in Orlando! I’m okay, everything is okay. Just an outlet in my room, right beside where I sit to use my computer, shorted out and melted inside the wall. I’ll post photos.

and THIRD.... I made a thing! It’s Beautious Maximus and all of my zero followers should go check it out! It’s me, singing “A Whole New World” only with a little surprise twist. https://youtu.be/jDgOLyQfhE8

Okay. Dating Question. What is this "date" thing I keep hearing about? People keep on saying "getting a date" but I don't know what store it's at. Is it available at your local chain retailer, or is it a specialty store? Is it something you ride? People keep on saying "on a date" too, so I thought it was something you ride, like a skateboard. How much does it cost? I don't have a whole lot of money for something like that I don't think.

This is a date. It’s the fruit of a date palm. They’re pretty affordable, but they look like a hybrid between raisins and dehydrated turd nuggets.

Best thing I've read all year.

Total Jerkface flash games by Jim Bonacci

So, I’ve been making Happy Wheels levels! It started, ehm, a week ago? I think I’ve progressed quite a lot in that time, from a basic sword throw, to THIS MARVELOUS MASTERPIECE. If anyone who reads this is down with the Happiest of Wheels, why don’t you give it a shot? I warn you, this is my most difficult level yet. Can you achieve the Rope Swing Ending? If not, there’s always the Free Fall Ending. Either way, ENJOY!

I'm a lesbian and i have no idea how to write an attractive male protagonist because I don't understand what people find attractive in guys what do I do

You don’t like confidence? A good sense of humor? Honesty? Loyalty? Call me crazy, but I was under the impression that certain traits were considered widely attractive among all sexes.As for physical attraction, you could just ask some straight women. Or gay men. Or walk into an Abercrombie and stare at the walls. Is Abercrombie even around anymore? 🤔

They are, but you suffocate from all the perfume they pump thru the AC before you get halfway through the door, so it's probably not very helpful.

Don't want to pry, so no pressure if you don't wanna share. But what is your strange experience with death? I believe in reincarnations and all.

I have several. I’m just going to share one, and I’m going to keep it vague, not because it moves me deeply or any shit like that, but because I’m very aware of the fact that this makes me sound insane. 

I’ve had issues with insomnia and weird dreams my entire life. When I say weird dreams, I don’t mean crazy nightmares where I’m being chased by clowns. I’m not going to get into it. Just understand that they’re not normal.

Long story short, I dreamt once that a deceased family member visited me because she had a message to deliver to my dad. I was very aware that she was dead in the dream. I questioned how she was able to contact me. She wanted to warn my dad about something that would happen to my extended family in about two years. When I woke up, I told my dad the thing, just in case; I know it’s just a dream, but I have a history with this shit, so I don’t take chances. 

Anywho, the thing that she warned about happened two years later. 

The end.

I once had a dream about a dog I used to have that died shortly after being hit by a car. In the dream I knew he should be dead. I turned around and another black dog was staring in through a window at me with red glowing eyes. From where it was staring, it had to have been floating several feet off the ground. It have me a lasting feeling like somebody close to me was going away soon.

A couple days after, on my birthday, my grandmother had her final fall that put her into the hospital/nursing home she would ultimately never come home from.

Turn your handwriting into a font

I discovered this by accident and I thought it was really funny and cute:

1. Download the template from MyScriptFont website

2. Write out the alphabet and numbers in your style, using a black marker (felt pen). This is mine:

3. Scan the template  4. Upload to the MyScriptFont website, name it, set the format and click “send file” 5. Download it to your computer and install

And check out my result!

Also great for (web)comicartists that want their own font for their comics! =D

Just ordered Eve the Awaking :) so excited, but it'll probably take weeks to get to Australia :/

But just think: babies take nine months to arrive, right? And then once they show up, they shit all over everything, they cry, and they suck you dry of all your money for a minimum of eighteen years.

EVE won’t do that to you. She would never dream of it. 

[ho0ly]

Ahahaha wow. I love it.

Could you apply your writing tips to comic books?

No idea, I’ve never written a comic book, nor do I read ‘em 😕 sorry

What We Can Learn from J.K. Rowling's Series Grid | Better Novel Project

Instead of trying to chip away at one big beastly plot, you’re working with individual series and weaving them together to create a story tapestry. Sounds much more feasible, doesn’t it? J. K. Rowling thought so. She used series to develop and organize Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Series in Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix Order of the Phoenix weighs in at a hefty 250,000+ words—talk about trying to wrangle a beastly plot! How did she keep it from crumbling into chaos? The answer is found in a one-page outline she released to the …

You look like you just delivered a total burn on someone and are ready to follow it up with more verbal pummeling if necessary. Which is to say, you look fantastic. :-)

This is a lovely post. It goes to show that when we percieve our own work, most of us have some type of insecurities about our own talents. 

[thewritershandbook]

Fantasy is a huge niche and one with plenty of fanatical fans. It's a brilliant genre to write in and today, Ben Galley, fantasy author and self-publishing expert, discusses the main aspects. It’s hard to write a guide to a whole genre, especially one as vast and as intricate as fantasy, but as a zealot of all things fantastical, it’s something I want to tackle. Let’s jump straight in by looking at the main aspects of the average fantasy book: By definition, fantasy is a genre that typically features the use of magic or other supernatural phenomena in the plot,

Is writing sex scenes awkward for you ? It's really awkward for me. Details are hard to write without coming off to pornographic

Not really, but then again I’m 29 years old. I have no idea how old you are, but most of the people who submit questions to me are younger than me, and the younger you are, the more awkward sex is. Sex isn’t awkward to me.

I think there are lots of ways to write details without being pornographic. Synonyms are your friend. You can talk about bodies writhing, or the partners circling their hips, or a million other things instead of saying thrusting or humping. You can say he was inside of her/him instead of going into specifics about penetration. You can talk more about what their hands or mouths are doing whilst the sex is happening instead of talking about the dick/vag. Maybe there’s hair pulling or biting or moaning. Nails digging into the back, sweat lining the body, legs shaking. There are so many things you could say that aren’t squarely focused on insertion and orgasm. 

One of the reasons I enjoy writing sex scenes is because there are so many different ways you can take it - you can go full raunch, you can go sweet, you can go silly. You have so many options. The world is your oyster! (That’s a joke, because oysters are an aphrodisiac. Get it? GET IT???)
