Update on writing and other stuff · 12:26pm Apr 12th, 2019
Hi^^ Thought I would pop over and update you all about how my writing is coming along and tell you some other stuff.
So, let's start with writing. I'm currently working on chapter for Rebirth of the Damned, I think I'm about a week from wrapping it up. It's already almost 7k words long, so you have something to look forward too. I suspect it would take about a week for my editing team to look it over, so the chapter should be ready sometime within the week after Easter. I will likely be taking a short break afterwards, for reasons I'm about to explain, and after that I will work on the next chapter for Rebirth of the Damned.
I'm very excited at the prospect of writing that specific chapter, because, without giving any spoilers, I'll finally be able to implament something that I had been planning for for almost 7 years at this point You'll have to wait and see what exactly this is, although there had been some very clues in the story... um, a while ago, so you probably don't remember at this point This chapter should be shorter that the one I am currently writing, so even with a small break it should come out by the end of May at least.
After that, though, Rebirth will be taking a break, and I'll resume working on Infinite Potential. More of probably insane doctor in the Wasteland^^ I wish I could get this story out at much quicker pace, at this rate it will take me about 20 years to finish it Oh well, hopefully I can count on all of you to be along for the ride
Okay, that's about as far as I can go in terms of plans for writing. I'm not sure yet what I will be writing next and in what order. Now, onwards to some other stuff:
The short break I mentioned that I plan to take would be because I'm about to wrap up my driving lessons, so I will be taking driving exams soon and I would like to go over theory more. Of course, I don't plan to go over it 24/7 or even remotely close to that, but getting stuck on writing for a few hours kinda takes away the mental energy necessery to focus on studying. Hence the break.
Another thing that would put writing on hold is the fact that I've started looking around for a better job. Been even to one interview, but it didn't work out. Might decide to give up on archaeology and either work at a corporation (which is the ultimate fate of most archaeology students anyway), or try and get into gaming industry, as a game tester or quest designer maybe? Dunno, will have to see.
And of course, my laziness factors in too. I've resumed playing WoW about a month ago, I just opened the Blizzard app for a bit so it could download the new patches, for some reason decided to open the game to look at my characters or something, and when I opened it on the screen was a message that I can buy a month worth of game with in-game gold. I knew about WoW Tokens of course, but it never crossed my mind to use them. So I decided to get it, and got enough gold on my main to buy a next one when the month was about to end (about 13 years of playing this game and I finally decided to use profession to get gold). Anyway, it's been fun. Switched my main back to the night elf druid I played since 2006, made the hunter again Horde, as the service was on sale, and use the opportunity to make him a Zandalari troll. Been doing Battle for Dazar'alor on both, this week my guild is trying heroic, so hopefully I'll get the Ahead of the Curve achivement.
I've also watched the preview about upcoming patch, and it looks exciting^^ I can't wait^^
Thought I would love if Tyrande paid a little part in the fight against Azshara, but it doesn't look like Blizzard will put her there... also, f*** them for destroying entire Alliance navy with this upcoming patch! Just when we FINALLY got advantage over the Horde, they decide to even it down again
Oh, and speaking of Warcraft, dunno if you know, buuut... have you heard about GoG.com? Well, they partnered up with Blizzard to make Warcraft 1 and 2 available to play a few weeks by^^ If you never played those games, or played them almost 20 years ago and cannot now because those old ass games cannot run on modern computers, you can now buy them and play them^^ Fair warning though, Warcraft 1? Yeah, it's... really old. Like, oh crap, the whole... mechanics and controls are so old... you think trying to play Starcraft 1 was tough? Wait till you play Warcraft 1... I might decide to skip it and go straight to Warcraft 2, the controls there weren't on par with 3 or Starcraft 2, but at least they were playable if memory serves right.
That being said, I hadn't played either of them that much this past month. Aside from WoW, I've also been playing... Dragon Age^^ Yeah, for whatever reason I got reminded of that franchise, and thought: "Wouldn't it be great to play through it again?" Well, I looked at my Origin Account where I had a bought Dragon Age II, and saw that I also had Origin for some reason (I honestly don't remember why, but I sure as hell didn't buy it, I played Origin on Xbox 360). So I downloaded it, got the DLCs, and I plan to go all the way to Inquistion, which I have on PS4. I got it about 2 years ago, played about a month, then for some reason I stopped... I think it was because I was going to Cyprus for two weeks, afterwards I didn't resume playing.... anyway, I remember close to nothing from the game, so I have no problem starting again, and I would be able to carry over my data thanks to the internet, I remember setting it up but this time I will try to match it up to new playthrough...
Playing Dragon Age gave me a few ideas for an actual novel that I would like to publish someday. I'll be getting around to sitting down and writing it at some point... though I am still in the process of putting it in my head. Definetly fantasy, need to first create the world so I know what is where, then a good plot (already have an idea for how to start that; and btw, I know the plot is more important, but I prefer to know the layout of the world ) and good characters. I doubt it would be the next Game of Thrones, but I think I'll manage at least something decent.
Hm, what else... Ah yes, MLP^^ Really enjoyed the season premiere, first time I watch livestream since season 5. I'm still a bit sad that it's the last season, but it seems that they at least plan to go out on a high note. Also looked over synopsis for a few next episodes; I'm really excited for a few... expecially concerning the Young/Student 6
Speaking of shows, can't wait for Game of Thrones final season. With this one I am not as sad, even though they are far, far more likely to actually kill characters than in MLP I dunno who will die and who wins and I love it
I also can't wait for Avengers Endgame, already got the ticker to pre-premiere^^ Damn, Infinity War really got me into MCU, before that I was just a little above "meh" regarding it, thought it was cool but now really that interested. Now I love it^^
Lucifer season 4 is coming out on Netflix on 8th of May, finally^^ The show that has been cancelled and taken over by Netflix is so close^^ He rises!!!
Supernatural recently announced that the next season, 15, will be its last. That's a hard blow. Even though you could argue that it overstayed its welcome, that it should have ended after season 5 or season 11, it's hard for me as I've only started watching the show about 4 years ago (convinced by my internet girlfriend at the time, along with few other shows; few good things that came out of that mess of a "relationship"). Hopefully, they will too leave on a high note (though considering the shit the Winchesters had been though already, it's kinda hard to imagine what could it be).
Hm, I think that's about it? Don't really have any other information... well, maybe one, but I would like more details on it before I'll let you know Oh, and yeah, I was thinking about having a "QnA blog" a little over month from now, on 19th of May, my 27th birthday. I figure since 2 years ago I made such depressing post I should make a more... constructive one, or something? I dunno, what do you guys think? I would avoid giving out spoilers of course, but you could ask me stuff about my stories and where I am going with them, I could give you hints and stuff.
Ah, and yeah, as some of you might have noticed, I currently have 989 followers (yesterday it was 990, dunno what have I messed up in a day to lose one, but nvm that for now), meaning I am SO close to having a whole 1000^^ Thank you all for following me^^
Okay, NOW it's all that I have for you now. Hope you're having a great day and, in case I won't make another blog post soon, have a happy Easter^^
