Check in Progress · 1:12am Aug 15th, 2021
Just checking in for those following along. So progress on the current short story has been slow partly because of a number of IRL things and partly because I am in partly untested waters.
First, my sister was in a car wreck about a month ago. She's fine, but total her car. After some heated debate and back and forth with our parents I gave her my 18 year old Pontiac Aztek. I take care of my vehicles and it was in good working order. The AC was cold enough to make a penguin look for a sweater. I had been planning to get something else next year anyhow so Dad gave me the blue book cost of a trade in plus some for down payment so now I have a Honda Ridgeline. Everyone wins and we all still talk when the phone rings so YAY.
What do I mean by untested waters? Well mostly I mean comedy. I can write sarcasm, drama, action, most everything in between, but I've never considered myself especially funny so writing Discord for more than a bit part has been a challenge. I've read a few stories on how others handle him and that has helped give me baseline. Will it be good in the end? Meh, we'll see. Anyhow check out the second draft rough of the story cover (first draft was baaaaaaaad. Only thing harder than writing Discord is drawing him. And why can't I ever imbed the image, all it ever lets me do is hyperlink!
Have a good weekend.
Ooh, grumpy Sunset, this is gonna be good!
