I use vim as my text editor. Its good if you find using a mouse distracting.

There is a steep learning curve and most people use it for programming. However i can give u a copy of my vimrc file and you can use the novel writing plugin in that file. :)

Thats not how the real world works anywhere but an office. I once did what you said at a construction site and became known as "sjw removed" as opposed to my real name. My crime is that i didnt want to work next to a guy that refused to call me anything but "the homosexual" and made political jabs all day. I wasnt asking for him to be fired. I just wanted to be on a different crew. My boss made extra sure his was the only crew i worked on. DO NOT tell your manager. If you are being bullied at work then its already bad enough that your boss will only make it worse.

This is useful enough for me to want to use it now. Any way that we can? I likebto write stuff in vim and this seems immersive.

I really like airships as a concept, but they have a major flaw in any universe where planes exist. A plane is much faster than an airship, so airships must be large enough for the mass transport of goods and people via them to be practical. If a plane can haul 10 people from London to Washington Dc in 10 hours, then an airship needs to be able to haul something more economical. Perhaps 100 people in 24 hours. Assuming some degree of technological stagnation, this consideration can allow a dieselpunk setting to have some degree of economic realism.

I really do like the idea of a world war one era for the technology in my airship setting, but I really do feel like I need to be careful when having planes be a part of the picture.

Similarly, I must make sure to have the combat exciting, and sometimes that means sacrificing realism for the sake of awesome air pirate fights. For example, having people run around on the deck of an airship is more important than whether or not running around on the top of a ship going that fast would actually work.

Thanks for reading this comment. I know it might sound like gibberish, but thinking out loud has really helped me work on my Communist steampunk yaoi. It will be very NSFW and involve themes based around the AIDs epidemic and drug addiction, both of which are subjects near and dear to my heart.

Its not that you dont agree. Its not that you dont understand. You dont want to understand.

Go out and talk to a homeless person and ask him what he thinks of rehab or the local homeless shelter. Actually talking to people will influence your opinion to be less condescending.

An insane homeless addict is still better off smoking crack with his elemental dwarf pals in an appartment than an alley.

I wish social workers knew that. Social workers i know just make fun of homeless people and call them slurs.

I have become attrached to the idea of using a totally marxist set up for my writing.
