site that you can type in the definition of a word and get the word

site for when you can only remember part of a word/its definition 

site that gives you words that rhyme with a word

site that gives you synonyms and antonyms

THAT FIRST SITE IS EVERY WRITER’S DREAM DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I’VE TRIED WRITING SOMETHING AND THOUGHT GOD DAMN IS THERE A SPECIFIC WORD FOR WHAT I’M USING TWO SENTENCES TO DESCRIBE AND JUST GETTING A BUNCH OF SHIT GOOGLE RESULTS

Dang...

I just idly took out my calculator and worked something out.

Hevun’s Ambassador and Hevun’s Gate together cost a person $5.98 - which is pretty good value for a whole firkin trilogy.

Now if everyone who downloaded a free copy of Hevun’s Rebel [that’s 657 peeps BTW] bought the rest of the trilogy… I would have…

Absolutely no fargin’ worries at all. [Mind you, that almost $4K would quickly go

Challenge #00551 - A176: Party Life

Person 1: Didn’t you blow up a planet somehow while you having a year long kegger?

Person 2: First; it was merely rendered uninhabitable. Second; the party lasted two and a half years. — RecklessPrudence

There are generally two ways to react when one is the last of one’s kind.

Kirov chose the other one.

He had but one life to live, though it was a long one, and elected to enjoy every last moment. He travelled from world to world,

Well, shit

I got an email this morning from the very nice people at Bespoke Book Covers telling me that I can have my deposit back.

Science fiction is a little more complicated than your mainstream book covers, I guess.

I bear them no ill will. Working on the covers for the Hevun’s Child trilogy was more than a little frustrating. On both sides. I did my best to be nice about it and I completely understand why they decided to not

When a 16 year old girl in Ohio was filmed being raped by two boys at a party

CNN reporters talked about how tragic it was

because the rapists could have been star athletes

Because God forbid we lose a future football star

over something as silly as forcing oneself onto an unconscious girl

right?

You say that victims of sexual assault were asking for it

But was that 8 year old girl asking for it

When you told her you would

Challenge #00550 - A175: Black-boxing It

Taken from an author talking about a piece of tech in their setting:

They’ve tried reverse engineering the displacement engine before. It goes a little like this:

Your moon is now a pretzel.

Your research is invalid. – RecklessPrudence

“So what is it?”

“I can’t figure it out,” said Helba, getting her facts out in the open. “I know what it does, it makes the gravity in this… place…” Station, ship&

ryl-e-coyote:

i am laughing because i just started imagining a gordon ramsay-like feminist writer who, rather than helping to keep restaurants in business, goes to writers of television shows and films and chastises them for the sexism, racism, and general lack of diversity in their scripts

“YOUR SCRIPT IS AS WHITE AS THE PAPER IT’S PRINTED ON, YOU DONKEY.”

“THIS WHOLE CAST HAS MORE SAUSAGE IN IT THAN FLIPPING OKTOBERFEST!”

“It’s pronounced X”

“I thought it was Y?”

“No, that’s exactly the sort of mistake I’d expect from someone like you. I’m a /real/ fan, I’ve been an expert on this since before you were born.”

“Actually, it is Y, the kid was right, and you’ve no call to go around acting like that to people.”

“And who are you?”

“I’m the author.”

Buy it now at Smashwords!

“Ambassador?” another Othersider interrupted. “You need to strap down. We’re jumping to Heq'tak in ten.”

Sahra groaned in exasperation. Then turned her attention to Simy. “Does it hurt?” she asked. “Going through and being bigger?”

Simy blinked. “The only time it hurt was when I was aware of hurting you. I compressed myself as densely as I could.” He rubbed his arms in a memory.
