Novel Writing is Hard but I Like It · 11:37am Apr 8th, 2023

Or I like it because it is hard, because I am a masochist and also enjoy things like roguelikes, hot chili peppers, and zen meditation. Difficult but worth it. I've done this... well I've gotten a complete first draft of more than 40K words four or five times now. Complete novels? One that I'm still revising. Right now in my process on Pos II I'm working on the first chapter, brain storming set pieces, and converting my Scrivener doc from Save the Cat to Dan Harmon Story Circle, which last

I Seem To Be Writing Another Fallout: Equestria · 3:29pm Mar 13th, 2023

I know it's one of my less popular stories, I suspect I'm not on the same page with most Fo:E fans about what I like about the original, I expect no one will read it, but I don't care. It's in my head. It needs to get out.

The Blank Canvas of a New Year · 5:05pm Dec 30th, 2022

It looms, ripe with possibilities but full of opportunities for failure. My first move, I suppose, is to write as much Amazon smut as I can, as that gets me paid and allows me to do things like contribute to the site. A half dozen shorts or so should see me for the year.

I’m also drawing Depiboru exclusives, going for the achievement, so I’ll be at least minimally involved in pony.

After that… well. We’ll see.

Inmates Running the Asylum · 1:53am Dec 22nd, 2022

I just PMed a question to a mod who hasn't been on in weeks, because the mod who I should have contacted hasn't been on in over a year. This is somewhat concerning.

The mods have abandoned the site! Everyone post Chainsaw Man fan art!

Everything past the page break is horrifying.

Checked Out · 2:16pm Dec 13th, 2022

Having missed an easy deadline, I think I can safely say no more new stories til the new year. My brain is pudding. My grip on reality is growing weak, even for me. Gotta buckle down and do the things and then play Splatoon* and sleep.

See you on the flip side.

Bad News from YouTube · 9:44pm Dec 4th, 2022

My most listened to band on YouTube this year was... not MilkBlood. Not Rammstein. Not Electric Callboy.

But Aqua.

So the verdict is that I'm gay. But not in a cool way.

In my defense the most listened to was not Barbie Girl (almost every other Aqua song is better than Barbie Girl) but this one:

So I'm also Christian, but not in a not-going-to-hell way.

I Wrote a Fanfic! · 4:05pm Dec 2nd, 2022

I don't know how it happened. Total accident. It needs editing. Hopefully I can get the executive function to edit it next week; it's short, but it's cute and clever and it fits a contest theme.

Also. I'm drawing again! In a sketchbook with pen and ink. Microns. I love those cheap stiff-nibbed pens. I'm just drawing and drawing and drawing like a child.

Except a lot of what I'm drawing is really perverted.

So like a middle schooler.

I'm Not Feeling Very Well · 4:49pm Nov 28th, 2022

I had a fifteen minute sobbing fit because I dropped a plate the other day. Well, it was awful, actually, I was almost done making dinner and ruined it because the core component was on that plate. But it wasn't just the food, so fuck it, I'm going to complain, and this is the only thing resembling a blog that I have left, so I'm going to do it here.

1. I have many regrets about the death of my aunt, and I'm exhausted by the role I'm playing settling her estate.

No Idea What I'm Doing · 2:17pm Nov 21st, 2022

Am I supposed to be writing something? I really don't remember.

Bookkeeping · 7:36pm Nov 15th, 2022

I'm up to revising chapter 6 of Pillars of Society. A lot of these chapters have nothing wrong with them except a few places where I want to change the wording and some typos, and go quick. Also I used to put spaces around em dashes? Why was I doing that. That's objectively the wrong way to do it. No spaces is right. I'm pretty sure it's in the Bible somewhere.

The real time sink will be if I decide to add any scenes.
