Now THIS is a bold claim. DS9 is the only consistently beloved Star Trek series I've seen online. I personally enjoyed it more than most of the series.

As a writer and teacher, I was wracking my brains trying to think what item would be most desirable. You've summed it up perfectly, I think. I'd maybe throw on some kind of fountain pen, like a Twsbi Eco or Kaweco Sport.

@Revolving_Glass thanks for the suggestion. I'll bear this in mind as I edit.

@CaptainMinnette I mean that writing the decisive action in a scene is not a problem-- working out how that action concludes is what I'm struggling with. Another way to put it is that my scenes are beginning or middle heavy, but don't have a satisfying end that transitions to the next.

 

I'm reviewing my manuscript and noticing that my scenes tend to trail off towards the end. This has been a long, arduous project and moving from scene to scene where the enthusiasm appeared was one way to keep on track with targets. Now I need to knit everything together into a cohesive whole. What tips to people have for rounding off scenes? How can I best make sure there is continuity between scenes/chapters/segments?

Hi, so I went from using an electric coffee/spice mill that gave wildly inconsistent results to a Hario Mini-Mill Plus and I'm very happy with it. This is a hand-wound ceramic burr grinder. I did a tonne of research before hand and one reason I picked this one is because having looked at some other options I couldn't at the time justify spending more than £100/$150 on the ones other people were recommending like the Baratza Encore, Timemore etc. I purchased the Hario as part of the V60 pour over kit for about £35 (actually cheaper than buying the grinder on it's own for some reason and meant I got an extra funnel and a bunch of filters). My experience with it so far is it is enjoyable to use, produces a great result for my stage in the coffee making journey, is light for travel-- if that's your thing-- and was way, WAY cheaper than other options. Granted my coffee habits have gone from instant freeze dried to jug machine to moka pot to Nanopresso to V60/Nanopresso, so the more experienced might have more objective info! Hope you find what you need.
