A pretty little patch of Xanthoria Parietine #lichen. I think I'm growing a little Shrek in my garden.

#WritersCoffeeClub What's your favourite story structure?

I try to portray the life of a character, and life is inherently more random and batshit crazy than would fit inside classic story structures.

Try to draw your life story on one of Kurt Vonnegut's story shapes: https://youtu.be/oP3c1h8v2ZQ

Conscious beings can simultaneously be happy and sad; story structures often oversimplify such things.

Here's mine and a template:

One more reason I could not write in a coffeeshop:

Today, I've written the painfully sad but beautiful chapter I had not been able to face. It's odd how much fun one can have while crying...

Or is that just me?

I can not imagine sitting in a coffee shop while doing so. I'm a sobbing, smiling mess. 😭 😀 😢 🙃

"That is the most absurd plan I've ever heard," Zarathustra muttered. "Besides, why fix something imperfect?" he asked incredulously.

Elli frowned. "Do you always start over instead of fixing?" she asked him.

"What? No! Yes. Well, sort of. Isn't anything else a waste of time?" Zarathustra asked Elli.

"Imperfect pie is still pie," Patchy told him as she looked up at him suspiciously.

"Yes, but that's not good enough!" he declared in confused frustration.

"What is the password?" he suddenly inquired sternly.
"Please?" Patchy asked.

"That is not the password," he countered.

"Pretty please?" Eddy added.
Plinnius stared at the group. He turned his attention to Elli.

"Password?" he asked again. Elli pondered this, and she smirked when it dawned on her.
"Such," she declared. Plinnius blinked in surprise.

"Right, you are! Follow me!" he declared before he twirled 360 and started to walk backwards toward the exhibit.

Please help.

I am looking for the most privacy friendly way to buy ebooks.

Every shop and platform I've looked at would index and sell my purchase and a lot of other information.

I can get my ebooks in different ways but I explicitly want to pay the author for their work without me and my behavior ending up a resell product for which ever platform I use to complete this purchase.

Any ideas?
