1)D'après ce qui est écrit dans votre description.... vous n'aimez pas les humains..?
          
          Eh bien, vous n'êtes pas seule à partager cet avis, car moi aussi.
          
          2)Il me semble que vous écrivez un livre IRL?
          
          Si oui, de quoi ça parle ?
          
          ===================================
          
          1)From what is written in your description.... you don't like humans..?
          
          Well, you are not alone in sharing this opinion, because me too.
          
          2)It seems to me that you are writing a book IRL?

@Epicness1000 δ))Dans mon pays (Suisse) il existe une expression qui m'énerve, et que au lycée j'entends très très très souvent, je sais pas si dans votre pays elle s'utilise, mais c'est de dire à quelqu'un "AUTISTE!"  pour le traîter d'imbécile...
            Je trouve cela particulièrement irrespectueux, surtout pour les autistes qui.... comment dire... on un retard, car à la base c'est à ces derniers que les gens pensent en utilisant cette expression....
            Mais ceux qui utilisent cette expression devraient d'abord apprendre ce qu'est l'autisme avant d'utiliser un mot dont ils croient savoir des choses alors qu'ils n'en savent rien!
            
            2) Donc ils vous reste encore 3ans+ de travail si j'ai bien compris ?
            Eh bien, courage !
            
            D'ailleurs d'après ce que j'ai vu, vous dessinez aussi bien que vous écrivez !
            (donc cela signifie que vous dessinez très bien)
            
            ================================
            
            In my country (Switzerland) there is an expression that annoys me, and that I hear very very very often in high school, I don't know if it is used in your country, but it is to say to someone "AUTIST!"to call him an idiot...
            I find this particularly disrespectful, especially for autistic people who... how to say... have a delay, because basically it's the latter that people think of in by using this expression....
            But those who use this expression should first learn what autism is before using a word that they think they know things about when they don't
            
            2) So you still have 3+ years of work left if I understand correctly?
            Well, courage!
            
            Besides, from what I've seen, you draw as well as you write!
            (so that means you draw very well)

@AlexiRaptor And yes, 3 years! Technically 3.5 at this point. But I occasionally deal with writer's block and, as I said, am re-writing the plan which means it's going to take even longer. I'm hoping to finish and publish Deicide first because it's much shorter and less emotionally heavy to write!
            ===
            Et oui, 3 ans ! Techniquement 3,5 à ce stade. Mais je suis parfois confronté au blocage de l'écrivain et, comme je l'ai dit, je réécris le plan, ce qui signifie que cela va prendre encore plus de temps. J'espère terminer et publier Deicide en premier parce que c'est beaucoup plus court et moins lourd émotionnellement à écrire !

@AlexiRaptor People who say autism is a mental illness don't know what they're talking about! It's a disability and a condition, but not 'mental illness'.
            There are some autistic people who are intellectually disadvantaged but that doesn't mean they're not worthy of respect. But I agree with you, being autistic has given me both strengths and weaknesses, and I take pride in that.
            
            ===
            
            Les gens qui disent que l’autisme est une maladie mentale ne savent pas de quoi ils parlent ! Il s'agit d'un handicap et d'une condition, mais pas d'une « maladie mentale ».
            Il existe des personnes autistes qui sont intellectuellement défavorisées, mais cela ne veut pas dire qu’elles ne méritent pas le respect. Mais je suis d’accord avec vous, être autiste m’a donné à la fois des forces et des faiblesses, et j’en suis fier.

Although my focus is currently on Liberation (a long, LONG process in writing, I know), my mind's been brewing with a really good Regicide rewrite that leans much more into the fantastical than the original draft ever did, with Gods and spectacle (all dinosaur-themed, of course)

Jurassic World: Dominion is one of the worst movies I have seen in years and I officially never want to see another movie in this franchise if Trevorrow continues being a part of it.

@ElijahCole11 Trevorrow has 0 skill as a writer and doesn't know what he's doing. A 10 year old could've made something less draining.

I started watching it and stopped halfway. Why are locust part of this?

@Derriquethefreak To be frank, I don't even view the indominus or indoraptor as evil, since they're victims of human exploitation and lash out accordingly with how they'd been mistreated their whole lives. The fact that the films never properly acknowledge this actually makes me dislike JW even more. But yeah, narratively speaking the giganotosaurus did nothing to warrant such an end, and actually seems to be the least aggressive of the big therapod dinosaurs shown so far.

I swear guys, I am not dead, I've just been swamped by work and other duties. I have not abandoned Shattered, I actually did part of the next chapter! I'm just so busy it's gonna take a while for me to get back to not only Shattered, but also LIBERATION/Raptor of War's final draft. I have exams in May and some of June so I need to prioritise my revision, as well as the essays I gotta do : (

Epicness1000

I hate having to do this, but... I have unpublished Raptor of War. This is because, although LIBERATION is different in many ways, it shares certain plot points and twists with ROW. I don't want to risk people being spoiled on what will become the better version of the story, so I deleted it (especially as I'm making a FB group to follow on Liberation's development, and I don't want to risk people finding its older draft). Hope y'all understand!

EkemWrites

@Epicness1000 I understand! No problem, but I’m still super excited for your next story!

I can't believe it, but I'm seriously writing Raptor of War's latest draft without issue (I hope I didn't just jinx that). It's very slow because I have to juggle it with uni work (on chapter 4), but it's seriously going really well.
          
          Its new title is LIBERATION, and it's going to be MUCH more complex, harrowing, and thoughtful than previous versions of the story. I'm really hoping this will be the one to get physically published, in spite of its unconventional structure, confrontational presentation of themes, and long length (19k words at 4 chapters... there's over 50 chapters in the plan)
