Books Matter discussion

You have 1 million dollars—what would you do?

By a whole lot of book case to fit an entire wall in my room (I don't wanna leave my house I love it to much), by all the books I want plus more to fill in most of the bookcase's, bookmarks, chocolate, tea, and give some to charity and put the rest away for school.

Donate some, put most into a college fund, buy a digital art tablet and stylus, and buy some (a lot of) books.

I'd do the same- except instead of a drawing tablet and stylus, I'd get scrivener.

pay off my parents house, donate some, buy a place of my own, college, and of course have a big library with one of those sliding ladders 😩🤌

Those sound great! And yessss Niharika! Scrivener!

Quick and stupid question...what's a scrivener?

Scrivener is this AWESOMEAMAZINGTOTALLYWOULDRECOMMEND writing software.

Oh I will have to check it out then! I just got inspo for a story and I am developing it in my head and I am liking it.

Scrivener is just so amazing. A ton of authors use it for novel writing. Novel writing is its big thing, I guess I would say, but you can also do short stories and screenwriting and other stuff in it. It’s just super helpful in novel writing because it gives you character templates, setting templates, organization tools, a character name generator, and so much more. It’s very helpful if you write out of order or if you are someone who write a scene and then is like “Oh! That would be perfect in THIS chapter, not that one.” Also, it compiles your finished work into whatever file you need (a Word doc is most common).

But it costs money?

Yes. $50, I believe

Okay thanks!

No problem ;)

And over four thousand rupees in India- the kind of money I don't have *glum look*

I really don't know what I would do with that kind of money

I’d buy a mansion and include a huge library in it, buy loads of books and get my mum a really posh car then I would donate the rest to my school.

I’ll buy a mansion, donate some, give my siblings and buy a lot of books

Buy a car, laptop, maybe a newer phone, buy stuff to get me ready for college, buy some stuff for my family and friends, save enough for a house, and save the rest for future bills and taxes.

probably save it for college. I could get into any college with that kind of money.
