Back in the olden days wasn't it possible to reply to the comments directly here or is that a figment of my imagination?

if you mean Comments to stories, you can only write your comment, but can't quote / link to someone else's. It's been that way since 2014 at least, which is when I joined Lit.Back in the olden days wasn't it possible to reply to the comments directly here or is that a figment of my imagination?
Hmmmmmm.....I see pi in the exponential section. That means it's a harmonic function, doesn't it? Is this the definite integral describing the plateau phase?
Em,Hi,
This is a total experiment. Given the dearth of author interaction functions here, I’m going to include a link to this thread in future stories.
It’s not intended as in lieu of comments, rather if there is something you’d like my feedback on.
It’s not meant to be: “What is your favorite breakfast cereal, Emily?” [cue that as a response of course], more “are you planning to write more about character X?” or “where did you get the idea for plot point Y?”
As I say, just an experiment.

Oh, that’s sweet of you to say.Em,
I think it was brave. Opening your creative process and thoughts. Searching for some interaction, some feedback, be it good or bad.
I looked on, and watched as it derailed.... The usual culprits, who couldn't disconnect their egos, even for a moment.
More interested in pushing their own little preferences.
I grew up in an environment where books were my saviour. I read endlessly as a child. Still do. I never watch TV, give me a book. Th feel of the paper as I flip through the pages.
Words, I adore them, my favourite stories are the ones rich in dialogue.
Sorry, I digress. I was attracted to the AH, by the thoughts of interacting with other writers. Asking why they did certain things, how they processed ideas.
Alas, the AH is all just self obsessed nonsense. New writers post questions, and they are derided, mocked, and their questions lost.
Such a shame...
The AH, could be something wonderful. "Oh well."
There are nice people, like yourself in here, trying. I drop by occasionally, waiting for that spark...

Not a lot - then Humor and Satire is a sleepy little corner of Lit.Well my first story with a link to this thread goes live around 2am EST. We’ll see what happens.

I’ve co-written one story with @Djmac1031 and we have intertwined our respective Angels & Demons stories. I’ve written in parallel with @EStaccato - borrowing fictionalized versions of each other for our stories. I’ve provided - I hope - helpful input to a number of authors here. Ranging from beta reading, to discussing concepts, to just being a sounding board.Are you someone who collaborates with other writers?
Aside from people have mentioned, I enjoy emotional works (maybe a counterpoint to my stories being rather clinical at times). That includes: @EStaccato @onehitwanda and @MelissaBaby - but I do read others when I have time.What kinds of work do you enjoy reading the most?
I have a job that is unevenly busy. I can end up working 16 hours days, or have time on my hands. I write on my ‘phone, so I fit this round whatever else I am doing. I also write very quickly. I read about people here taking a long time to do 1,000 words. I’m normally quick. Then maybe my standards are lower.Also - I know you're on again off again relationship with hiatus is semi-public knowledge at this point, but what's the balance ratio of your writing/reading of this sort of work vs. other things you do with you life and time?
Hope that helps.Sorry - I hads many questions
But again, @Djmac1031 and I mostly run our ideas past each other and I hope we both benefit from this, I know I do.
This is total self-deprecation. These are maybe superficial examples of a greater truth:Although, being honest, Emily has probably had a much larger influence on what happens in my stories than I in hers.

I should acknowledge other influences as well. Probably @NoTalentHack convinced me to write more emotionally (for me at least) and the example set by @onehitwanda ’s delicate works was influential.Since you have started collaborating with djmac1031 I have to say that the writing has definitely improved both in style as well as subject matter. The Teaching Eden series I especially liked from your most recent works.
I had it in my head from Halloween and it wouldn’t go away .And I still have the Ghostbusters song rattling in my head.

I am made better for knowing things, hahaLate - was watching a movie…

I have a happy personal life. We both have hobbies that overlap and where we are each involved in some capacity in what the other is doing. That includes writing for me.
Hope that helps.
