I have a set of percentile dice next to my keyboard. When I get stuck over whether a character is going to do one thing or another I decide which is more likely and roll the dice. It's probably the geekiest possible way to write a story. Also how cool is it that the die in the Wikipedia photograph is actually the one I own?
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

It's not so much the dice but which table you're rolling on. If you've got some of the old D&D critical hits tables, you can oodles of fun.

I have actually constructed a little arena out of the insert from a router box. But I do have a DMG I could refer to if a battle breaks out.

Like when my uncle had the book that told what happen if say, an elf and a unicorn got into a fight, right?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Laga, rolling dice sounds like a fun way to write a story. It's like one of those stories where you get to pick different outcomes and see what happens.
Although it is true, Kraken are always amusing.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I should be at 18,377 by the end of the day. I'm currently just over 14,000 but your 3115 makes me feel like so much less of a slacker. Thanks, Zenkitty!

That's what I'm here for! To show you what a real slacker looks like!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm at 7302. I don't think more is really happening this month, at least not until I finish painting my house, but even the little I did really helped me push through some stuff I hadn't figured out. It's the making myself write every day that I find useful, moreso than the word count, though trying to hit the wordcount does help turn off the internal editor.
