In my story, I have this character who's really weird.

So, I have a scene that goes like this:

"What are you?"

"Your sleep paralysis demon."

So now, until they figure out her name, all they have to go off of is "sleep paralysis demon".

So, um... this exists now (my sister wrote the quotes, which was apparently a bad idea):

"Shut up, femboy," the sleep paralysis demon said.

"Wha-- I'm a girl!"

"Oh, really? I hadn't noticed."

(POV Char.) couldn't tell if the sleep paralysis demon was being sarcastic or not.

When all else fails... use tumblr.

So, I love to knit. I knit lots of small hats. I call them tiny hats because they're half the size of normal hats.

Mostly because I'm lazy and don't have the motivation/disipline to make a full hat...

I've been really wanting to turn this hobby into a job on the side. I'm wanting to do it now more than ever as I'm feeling horrible at my current job. My coworkers are great and I love them but I feel like our restaurant isn't held to the standards it should be. This is making me feel horrible about serving our customers and making their food because I know THEY can't tell those were slimy onions but I KNOW and that's what bugs me!

Sorry. Off-topic.

I've made about twenty hats and can also make wrist warmers. I've also wanted to make knit bracelets. I can knit scarves as well but I need to work on my skill with that one.

I am quite the beginner, so none of it would cost much at all (maybe $10 max). A while ago I made a cute little logo because we had planned on actually making this a little business.

I probably should edit it a bit but that's what I made.

I have different patterns as well. I can do a different brim color (Pic 1, white & pale yellow), solid color (Pic 2, white), stripes (Pic 4, blue & purple), multicolored/3+ color stripes (Pic 7, red, pale orange, whatever that brown was called, pale yellow), swirls (2-3 color)(Pic 3, dusk purple & black), different size stripes (Pic 5, black & pale yellow), pom-poms (Pic 6, blue & multi, lavender & purple), and probably more.

Um, ignore the yarn sticking out. I cut them off when I actually give them to people I swear!

Anyway, they are loomknit. I have many colors and types of yarn. I have four sizes as well. I can usually make them in a few hours. I have a lot of fun and would have hats already made and I could take requests.

I'm worried about how it'll actually work though. I don't know any good marketing strategies and I'm afraid of getting stressed out quickly. I don't want to try this and then immediately fail.

I don't know what to do for marketing, prices, actually selling them, how many premade hats I should have, et cetera. I also don't know if I knit well enough to actually make anything.

So, I'm asking for a second (or third, or fourth, or hundredth) opinion on this. What should I do and how should I do it?

Oh, by the way, hat proportions (about, they aren't the exact same every time, I'm bad at that):

XL: 6"h x 12"w

L: 5"h x 10" w

M: 4"h x 8"w (guessing, my medium and large are stuck together somehow and I haven't made a medium hat apparently)

S: 3"h x 6"w

See? Tiny.

I don't even know if people would want them. But they're cute and stuffs and I really hope its a hobby I can make money off of.

Not for lore purposes or whatever.

Mainly because I've been trying to kill Lace for three days straight.

How has anyone ever beat this game?

The walkthroughs made it look so easy.

Do I just suck at the game or something? I keep having such a hard time with the bosses but not THIS hard of a time.

Me: *Tries something that might be stale*

Also me: *Realizes it's stale and knows FULL WELL that when something is stale that means it's been out long enough for it to have a BUNCH of BACTERIA on it and it could totally make me SICK*

I've heard alllll this stuff about Hollow Knight: Silksong. I've seen stuff about it, I've seen some gameplay, it looks cute and fun and stuffs.

So, naturally, when I saw it was free with gamepass on my Xbox, I downloaded it and started playing.

I'm raging, but it's a lot of fun. The art's cute, I love it, wouldn't regret it for the world.

But why is it that it took me until the NPCs hinted at it for me to realize Hornet's a girl?

Like, sure the sounds probably should've hinted at it, but, like, I just never thought about it. I kinda just assumed she was a boy?

I feel so stupid now. How in the world did it take me this long to realize? I've seen stuff for this game for maybe three years almost but I never really looked into anything about it, y'know?

So, I don't know but I think my backyard's a little different today...

20 mph winds... sure they were.

Anyways, thinkin' it was a microburst. I was just about to start a drawing and then there was this huge gust of wind and I was like, oh, just a microburst, we get those sometimes.

But then a SECOND one hit. I hear branches scraping across the roof, the lights flickered, the house felt like it lifted off the ground and made me think it was a tornado for a second, then the tree hits the house, entire place shakes like crazy like an earthquake, and all my cats freak out and run away from my room at light speed. Wind finally stops and I immediately go to my room because what in the actual world was that?

At first, my room is perfectly normal and completely unharmed (thankfully) but then I see a shadow outside of my room that looks suspiciously like a tree trunk and not the branch that's usually there. I look out the window and see THIS.

I go to my mom and I'm like, "Hey, mom, we may have a bit of a problem..."

I tried to show her what I'd seen but she looked out the other window and saw something that made her shocked so of course I look out my other window and see this.

The tree was UPROOTED. THAT WAS NOT A 20 MPH WIND. The high wind advisory hit right after and I was like: No, really? I had no clue...

Granted, the tree has been dead for three years and dying for two more but just shush. No.

Anyways, we go outside and see this. I should've taken more pictures but I didn't.

So, yeah. This all happened in less than five minutes, by the way.

I am okay. House is fine, so is the shed. The other trees are, too. The most damage is in back where there's a hole in the siding about the size of your hand. It doesn't go all the way through the house, maybe halfway at most. The most we're concerned about is water damage.

We're getting someone to get rid of it and I'm really hoping insurance will cover it. This is the best way it could have fallen. Any other way would either:

A) Hit our house

B) Hit out neighbor's house

C) Hit our OTHER neighbor's house

or D) Fall on the highway, likely covering the shoulder and 1 1/2 or 2 lanes.

So, one of my characters in my book I'm writing is a middle child. This part I noticed.

The problem is that I also made it so his trauma makes him fit into the invisible and hated middle child stereotype and I SWEAR I did not mean to do that.

But I'm not reworking his entire backstory so I'm just gonna let it go but I feel so stupid now.

Sister: *totally not knowing what OCD is*

Me: It's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or something...

Sister: ...

Me: *goes back to sweeping*

Sister: Now I understand. You have OCD over your cat!

Me: What?! No! That's not how it wo--

Sister: Obsessive.

Me: ...

Sister: ...

Sister: *goes back to taking out the trash*

Me: OK, but that's a pretty fair point though...

For context, my cat is literally how I got my username, some passwords, and my profile pic.

But look how cute he is though!

* Code robots

* Code an entire fame

* Program a computer (somewhat)

* Program a circuit

* Program a white LED to glow mint, teal and lavender, and all of them while blinking

* Program a robot (somewhat

* Program a fan

* Create an entire website

* and other code/programing/circuit things

But for the LIFE of me if you were to ask me how to take a file from your phone to a computer to a thumb drive I'd tell ya your on your own.

Like WHAT?!

This is the CUTEST thing I made in my Ceramics class!

...

You ever just take an old drawing that you kinda liked and then put it through an AI thingy?

Definitely didn't do this. Totally random question.

Also this is the worst drawing I've ever made.

Especially since it's sideways...
