1) It's the point where you "accidentally" push the vase off the table because you are tired of picking up the leaves. I mean, if no one saw it, it's legal, right? (Although I am co-opting the term Plantslaughter ;)
2) A Dusk Silfur dagger works well, and it's also useful if a squirrel gets out of line.

A man writes a novel that no one reads. And anyone he approaches, trying to get them to read it, disappears in front of him in a poof, and a piece of him falls off simultaneously, until eventually nothing is left of him.

Vaelora. I know it's a cop out to choose my own, but that's why I created it. It's the world I want to live in. I want a Kismet. Many people are lonely now, including me. The pandemic did a number on all of us. I went to full-time remote work.
Any writer will tell you it is often a lonely process. But when you create characters, they become real to you; they live in your mind. And there is this time when that is the only place they exist. I've always thought that writing character dialogue is the one time we get to answer back to the voices in our heads when they get too loud.
I'm convinced all fiction writers are a little nuts.

I had a stroke and had to learn how to walk and talk again when I was in my 30s. I could see the change in how people treat you from being attractive and looked at, to slurring words and struggling with speech, and being ignored. But it also rewired my brain in strange ways. I have synesthesia. There is a group of words that, if I hear them, I see a small shape squiggling in front of me. There has got to be something in there to turn that into some superpower.
