Nice cute story.

Thanks! A cute comment. :p Ah, and I appreciate the fave very much! ^^

Intriguing concept. I like!

Thank you! I wanted to use 365 words format in a way that attempts to be creative. I appreciate you reading the story and leaving a comment!

Krótkie, ale treściwe. Bardzo podoba mi się ta myśl, że różnica między "ideą" zamknięta w nieruchomej książce a życiem i jego ograniczeniami jest w zasadzie tylko różnicą skali. Nawiasem mówiąc, ciekawe, że postawiłeś sobie za limit liczbę słów równą liczbie dni w roku. Cykl roczny, ciągłe powracanie czasu, to w zasadzie kolejny limit i kolejna pułapka demiurga... ; )

Dzięki. I hahaha, niestety muszę Ci powiedzieć że ten limit to kwestia tego promptu, a nie mój pomysł. Tutaj jest do tego link: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55464297/

Ale wow, to interesująca myśl z tym limitem w formie cyklu rocznego. To prawda. Podczas pisania przyszła mi też na myśl idea wiecznego powrotu jak u Nietzschego.

Dziękuję jeszcze raz za przeczytanie i podzielenie się swoimi myślami. ^^ Poza tym jeśli chcesz to możesz zawsze też dołączyć do tego promptu. W moim przypadku to mnie motywuje do pisania.

Eh, no cóż, nie zauważyłem tego "prompt" w tytule i stąd moja nadinterpretacja. xd

Prawdę mówiąc, nie bardzo mnie pociąga myśl pisania czegoś na limit słów (zawsze było to moją zmorą w czasach szkolnych by zmieścić się w limicie), ale w sumie taki rygor może być całkiem dobrym ćwiczeniem, więc pomyślę, może kiedyś dołączę

That was a fun little story! I may overly enjoy a wondering cat lol

Haha, I enjoy this kind of stuff too. :P Thank you for reading and commenting, yet another wandering cat!

That's an interesting concept indeed. Reminded me my old poem, tbh haha. Her reaction is even cute, I just imagine a kitty tilting her head in confusion from the very first "Hello there" heh.

Yeah, that could be the case definitely. ^^ But such is the life in worlds full of wizards and their peculiar antics, so she might be already kinda used to it.

Weeell, I appreciate you reading the story and commenting! Also faving!

Pleasure is all mine! After all, we're friends hah^^

If life is a book, I want to complain to the author. ;3

A fun story here.

"NO, I don't want a SEQUEL!"

How about a trilogy instead? X3

Ahhhhhhhhh nooooo I want this to end QwQ

Haha, there is a lot to complain about surely. Well, if you decide to believe in God or something of that sort, you will have someone to complain to. :P

And thanks you for reading and the nice comment! I always appreciate you reading this stuff I write.

Accomplishes in 365 what takes me thousands. I admire that skill!

Wow, that's a high praise. Thank you then. I admit that I prefer writing very short stories that I can plan entirely in my mind. The more words I have to write the worse I feel about it. But I want to work on that, haha.

Oh, and thanks a lot for the fave. ^^ I think you have that kind of skill. Think about your poems that are short, but contain real content within. Like the one about the blind rabbit.

A fine story! :D
If life is a book, I want to be the writer...whose pen fell off the desk and is now broken.

Thanks! Well, I could buy you a new pen in that case. xD And I understand the desire to write the book of your life yourself, it makes me think of ideas like Nietzschean Übermensch and so on. Also very nice to have you read the story and comment and so on! You were the first commenter I ever got, lol.

No problem! As I much as I believe in free will, sometimes things just aren't in your control XD
I hope I will continue to be a commentor forever after.
Oh and thanks for the pen hehe

I had an idea to do up something similar to this but I like the existential twist you throw in; very nicely done, for sure.

Haha, I suppose this format of very limited amount of words and prompt being "journal" can make think one of that idea definitely. And thank you very much! I appreciate the fave and the attention you gave to this story along with the comment!

Interesting story, though I prefer to believe in free-will ;)

Thank you! And sure, this belief is ingrained in our culture and human nature to an extent probably, so I understand your preference.

Well, thanks again for reading, commenting and then even faving, haha. ^^ It's very nice.

*chuckles... aren't we all?

Vix

*waggs tail upon seeing your comment

I appreciate the fave and you reading the story. ^^ It's always fun to write these prompts... when I actually do. 365 words format made it easy to quite a lot of people probably, considering amount of stories in this one.

I noticed that too... I'm still working on mine. Something grabbed my attention and I've been researching. I find it amazing what our previous generation lived through and did - just because it was expected.

Vix

Now we just have to hunt down the author and get them to make some modifications.

As a side note. I actually did something like that in one of my tabletop games where the player got trapped in a book and tracked down the author within the book in order to escape their predicament.

Yeah, it's a common sentiment. Tonin wanted to complain to them, haha. And I think this kind of thing is a fun idea. I have a sort of stupid affinity for trying to play with narration and world in the story, to the point of me thinking that these stories I posted here are a little bit too similar to each other.

Thanks for reading and commenting! This one has so many faves and comments; the most of any of these stories of mine so far! Very flattering considering the fact that I'm not some sort of writer or anything, but a dumb fox who writes on a whim.

I think that's fine if you keep exploring the same themes. I mean I do that a ton with my own works. Like when I compiled my massive list of all of my settings it really felt like I kept coming back to the same themes over and over, just with different variations and takes on it.

Very lovely. I wasn't expecting a story about a journal to include a reference to the Demiurge, but I appreciate your philosophical thinking!

I've never really believed in complete free will or absolute determinism. As the old saying/prayer goes: "Give me the serenity to accept what cannot be changed, the courage to change what can be changed, and the wisdom to know the one from the other."

Thank you. ^^ And I think that Demiurge is a very fun concept fitting for fantasy. Otherwise if I were to believe in God, it would be probably rather the Demiurge and not a benevolent creator. But in a way christian God fits into that definition without you having to believe in something else, but interpreting this stuff differently. Just like people can be either determinists or believe in free will, still being a Christian. There are a lot of denominations. If I were to adopt some sort of christian worldview, it would be some combination of calvinism and gnosticism, lol. Maybe something like that exists actually.

And I understand your thinking on the free will! I remember that in my case I couldn't understand how I could not believe in free will of some sort, because when I tried to adopt that thinking it felt like I can't do anything, like there is no room for any will at all and I am paralyzed. But it isn't really a matter of whether we have will and our experience of it is meaningful and real and so on, but what is the nature of the will. I don't know how I could believe in free will of any sort without specific metaphysical beliefs that would lead to that conclusion, like cartesian dualism. Without these, how could free will even exist and what would it be? Brain is composed of matter and matter is nature, and nature is governed by the processes within it. What would enact its will on the matter? Matter isn't controlled by a will, but by physical, chemical forces. Or at least it's a naturalistic perspective, but if I adopt it without something more to it, where even is room for any free will? That would be my explanation of it, haha.

And thank you for reading! I appreciate it. And even faving! 12 faves is soo much.

"Brain is composed of matter and matter is nature, and nature is governed by the processes within it. What would enact its will on the matter? Matter isn't controlled by a will, but by physical, chemical forces"

There's a thought experiment I've heard before. Say someone builds a ultra-futuristic supercomputer that's extremely good at predicting natural processes. It can predict the behavior of atoms and molecules so well that it effectively knows the future of every human based solely on matter. The computer's predictions would be 100% accurate for those that didn't know about them. But, if I read a report from the computer that says I'm going to die in a car crash on X Day at X Time, then I can avoid that fate by simply making sure I'm not in a car at that time. I've defeated what Nature and physics said was going to happen to me.

Now this scenario is all very sci-fi, very "Minority Report". But the point is that, from a materialist perspective, we maybe have some free will on account of the fact we have a consciousness that can contemplate and try to predict the future. We then take steps to avoid the futures we deem bad. However, this all depends on how you define "consciousness" and "free will". And both the computer and our consciousness use natural processes themselves, so what are we to make of that?

"12 faves is soo much." Hey, people like thinking about this stuff!

Yes, my life is a story it's called The Book Of Life, sadly I will never be able to read it but will only be told.
A very amusing story, really.

Oh thank you. ^^ I see that you are reading through my stuff again. :p Thanks for that. And maybe you won't even be told that story, because only the author of it would be able to experience it that way. Humans are like characters in a book who experience only their certain part and can have problems with understanding things outside of that.

I wish you fun with The Book Of Life in any case. I can't think of a name for my own story so far. o.O

Hehe, no problem; still got more to go through.
No, I'm pretty sure I will be told to of it.
The other part about humans I certainly agree with.

Thank you, and here's hoping you find a name for it in due time.
