    Prepare Thyselves.

    So if you notice, some tags have changed on The Whittler. This is because, the biggest hang-up I've had over this story, was to either stick with my original ideas, or try and change it to what I wanted it to be, which was more Slice of Life.

    WE DID IT

    AND BY WE, I MEAN YOU. YES, YOU ALL DID IT. IT WAS A TOTAL SUCCESS BEFORE I COULD EVEN SET UP MY POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. I WAS EVEN ABOUT TO MAKE HATS!

    AS OF 14ISH HUNDRED OCLOCK EASTERN WARTIME I HAVE WON MY SEAT AS A MOD FOR THIS FAIR AND WONDERFUL SITE.

    ROB IS, IN FACT, A MOD FOR 2024. AND WE, WHICH IS ALSO YOU, SHALL MAKE FIMMY FIC GREAT(ER) AGAIN*.

    THE LIST.

    Alright, it's about time. I've been planning this for over a year, and I keep updating it with plans to post it, then hold off cause one disaster or another happens and then I don't feel like it.

    MARES!

    That's right turds and turdettes, I'm on my way to Florida, a state I was last to when I was 2 years old. I got 2 peeps with me, and we are making the 18ish hour drive down there.

    My father died last Wednesday.

    As I type this, it has been one week and about 2 hours. I got the call at 9:05 am that his heart had just stopped, and they called him deceased at 9:48 am. I'd gotten there around 9:40 and I asked why in the hell were they still working on him?

THE LIST. · 7:12pm Oct 7th, 2023

Alright, it's about time. I've been planning this for over a year, and I keep updating it with plans to post it, then hold off cause one disaster or another happens and then I don't feel like it.

But screw it, I'm half drunk at 3pm on a Saturday, so lets do it. I planned a special Gdoc for people to keep tabs on me, because I'm both slow, busy, and thirdly usually shitfaced, but I need to change! So I'm hoping by sharing my plans with you all, that maybe I'll get some motivation (aka you all yelling at me) to actually get on some of my writing that I'm super behind on.

Who knows? Maybe this will work, maybe this won't do anything at all. Worst case is I don't do anything at all so I mean, it can't get worse... can it?

Shit it probably can. Oh well! I'll be having the Gdoc accessable on my Fimmy Fic page, but until I remember how to do that here it is in this blog post!

THE LIST.

Feel free to express interest in things and stuff, but also save the shitposting for the page designated for such.

I... I have to write again. I've been working on outlines for the last several months, not really getting anything done, but also getting things planned. I don't want to just, disappear and not finish what I've started. I enjoy reading these stories too much, I enjoy sharing, and above all, I love to traumatize you guys with the absolute insanity that my half melted brain can come up with.

SO HERE WE GO. Lets fucking do this, I'm pumped, I'm excited, I'm about to puke.

Don't puke, channel it into writing.

Oh man, I feel you. I miss writing, too.

You want Rob to puke into his writing?

I think we want him to puke words out....

Word vomit is a legitimate way to write, sure. That's why you get good editors for afterwards. n_n*

SoarinJack? SoarinJack?! SoarinJack!!!

God I love that ship still and I know the song you are using! It's a perfect SoarinJack song! If you need help with that at all hit me up!

You live, sir! It has been entirely too long. I’m glad to hear that you are keeping on with writing, even if things have been tough lately.

Re Live-streams:

I’d recommend just doing that for fun/relaxation, and maybe just discussing progress on the list? And authors notes type content? As you say I imagine chat, and interacting with chat, would be distracting for trying to actually write and writing on a google doc maybe not the most compelling viewing. Though I bet you could get some decent ASMR content out of banging away on a typewriter!

If you were going to stream and write simultaneously, I’d think the biggest advantage would be that you could set aside a set amount of time (1-3hrs) where you’d write on a schedule and because you have people watching you, you’d have some kind of accountability to someone besides yourself.

I’ve personally found that, when I mention writing plans in blogs, for example, it helps motivate me to actually finish things because at least some of my process is publicly visible and I like to imagine the readers are eagerly awaiting my next endeavor so I’d better deliver something!

I have gotten into watching a whole bunch of steamers (ok, mostly VTubers) and understand however that it can sometimes be stressful, and tiring, though. So, maybe just guerrilla streams when you feel like it?

Damn, dude. I thought I was working on too many fics at once. But shit.

YES!!!! ANOTHER WHITTLER CHAPTER IS COMING!!!!! YES!!!!!
