Have an update. · 12:01pm Feb 2nd, 2014

So that "update once every two weeks" plan worked out great, didn't it? It's been only, what? Seven weeks since I posted anything? Well, I'm posting something now. It's not an update to Human. In fact it's an entirely new project, because God fucking knows I don't have enough of those yet, but it's SOMETHING at least. Something I wrote between my long bouts of trying to write Courier's Journal and trying to write Human, both of which are problematic endeavours. Courier's Journal because I care too much about it and have to put in lots of time to research everything and make sure I faithfully depict the game the story is based on, and Human because I care so little that any attempt to open the document to begin editing results in projectile vomiting.

It's not the story itself. I'm still very much invested in Human and seeing it to completion. It's just this chapter. More generally, it's the afterlife arc as a whole, but this chapter especially is fucking tedious. Writers, do you know what I'm talking about? Ever had a chapter sit in a document waiting to be published for so long, and becoming so familiar with it and its every flaw, that you just come to fucking despise every word of it? That's what I've been like with every full-length chapter since the characters entered the afterlife. This whole concept was a bad idea and I don't know why I did it.

Things to do when I get a time machine:
1. Kill Hitler.
2. Become best friends forever with Nikola Tesla.
3. Recover lost episodes of Doctor Who.
4. Slap my past self in the fucking face and tell him not to do the afterlife arc.

But I digress.

The update:

Wanderer's Diary: Other Sides

A series of short stories taking the perspective of various minor and secondary characters throughout the events of Wanderer's Diary.

(Fanfiction.net version.)

YEAH, IT'S ANOTHER FALLOUT STORY. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT. IT'S CONTENT. I'M PRODUCING CONTENT THIS WAY. IT'S BETTER THAN FUCKING NOTHING.

I know what you mean. Doesn't take me that long. 2 days usually does it for me. But then again, I am Asian and extremely efficient, even when it comes to self-hatred and loss of respect for anything I produce.

Also stop killing hitler, damnit. Everyone's already done that. Everyone already wants to do that. It's just gonna mess up the timeline even more. Maybe all the deaths during the war now are, in reality, all the people who fought with each other to get to find out who gets to kill Hitler.

4. Slap my past self in the fucking face and tell him not to do the afterlife arc.

Sometimes I'd like to have that time-machine too to do something along those lines to myself...

Oh sure. You find time to respond to this random update nonsense blog, just because you're not dying and shit, but not even so much as a comment on the blog with a direct shout-out to you. I don't know why I bother sometimes.

What blog
Wait, what blog
There was a blog?
No, I just happened to be around for this. Wat did I miss
Wat.

I was dying, damnit. Throw me a FRIKKIN' BONE.

You know the blog. YOU KNOW. The last one I made? Like, two weeks ago? It was a huge-ass thing about characters? I directly challenged you to respond in it? YOU KNOW THE ONE.

I actually read the first bits of that and then skipped the last 2 sentences.
HAH.

My head was kind of addled. So yes, perhaps I'll get around to it.

One day.

Someday.

You're a horrible person and nobody loves you.

I know! Wonderful, isn't it?

Fight on, bro.

You know, I was just thinking about this last night. I was like, "Didn't Danny promise me he would make me happy in two weeks?" Longest fucking blow job ever.

Well, at least you'll be much faster with getting Human stuff out after this next chapter. Oh, and I also about died laughing when I saw "it's an entirely new project", but I'll still read it because It's been too long since my last fix of DannyJ writing.

I've given longer before. 1788191 knows. We called it the endurance round.

As a fan of Fallout, I

And the only advice I can give you with Human is to push on through with it. Ignore everything you think is terrible as you write it, and just get shit typed no matter how much vomit gets on your keyboard.

Only when you get to the part you actually want to do will you be happy less pissed-off.

1788896 sadly, yes
Hurry up I swear to god
