In particular look at the box that reads:
>Completely new to reading and feeling overwhelmed?

The Greeks.

Do any of you use programs specifically for creative writing? Recommend me one.

Microsoft word

Can anyone recommend books about languages? I'm looking for a sort of guide to languages rather then a book to learn the languages. Ideally this book would have sections about the features of the world's languages and how to identify them. Thanks

Lately I've been pretty miserable and uninspired with my life. What's a book that brings back your zest for life?

No I'm serious, I'm autistic myself and I do it with everything I'm interested in. It's really exhausting and quickly makes the topic uninteresting to me when I've found out everything and there's not a constant flow of new related information.

Is this proper grammar?

"One the worst things that can happen to a community is lacking food."

underrated post

libre office
it's FOSS too

"One *of* the worst things that can happen to a community is *a lack of* food"

>Vigil for boy of responding kisses, (never again on earth responding,)
>Vigil for comrade swiftly slain, vigil I never forget, how as day brighten’d,
>I rose from the chill ground and folded my soldier well in his blanket,
>And buried him where he fell.
what is the meter here? it sort of becomes harder to tell later in the poem.

Would it be "a lack of" legacy again?

Can anyone recommend some good escapism fantasy? I just want to be happy for a while. Something like WoT but hopefully more directed.

"can happen" implies an episodic event. "lacking a legacy" is a, more or less, continuous state of being.

How would you word the idea?

If I want to read a gigantic, autistic fantasy novel or series of novels loaded with unnecessary lore details which don't do anything but "flesh" the world out that isn't anything by Tolkein, what would be the best written thing for me to read?

There is no fate worse than to lack a legacy.

Have you considered or read The Wheel of Time?

No I haven't read it, so I'll look into it. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll appreciate it if you have any more.
