Is there any progress on the construction?

Fuck the Fourth I’ve been feeling extra rageful lately due to <gestures wildly> everything. So I invited some friends and some strangers to make art with me. I put out the call on July 3, with a quick …

Hey there,

I have some great news. A short story I wrote has been published in a zine! This is the short story I previewed here.

I'm super excited about this. Enjoy!

Story on pages 26 and 27.

I have had a rough week and a half.

A week and a half after my best friend passed, my other best friend left me... and I'm not sure how I'm dealing.

Last Friday morning, Tomo, left this reality. I have a Tomo-shaped hole in my life

#theRoyalGemstones has finally come to its finale. This letter is both what I needed and reminds me of how much I miss my best friend. It resonates with me.

I lost my best friend today, and I am gutted.

I'm at a loss of what to do right now...

I just wish bad shit could just stop.

Fuck

Pt. 3
... the landing shudder through her whole body.

She feels the cold, wood floor. It gives her as much comfort as the rest of the world.

She feels an ice-cold nose against her hand. It's accompanied by a familiar snorf. (To be continued)

Pt. 2

...increasingly difficult. Happiness and joy seem in short supply.

"No one cares enough to want to stay with me," she sobs, tears streaming from her eyes and on to her shirt, "Why should I bother anymore."

She falls to the floor with a thud. Her ass his the floor so hard, she felt...

New story, pt. 1
"Why does my life feel like a series of compromises that I have to make?", she asks herself as she turns off the light.

Her house is clothed in shadow and darkness, much like the country she lives in. It's nothing but darkness and fear. Trying to find the light is getting...

Yes, but it doesn't give you shortcut hints to get you closer to the right answer. I had to learn through memorization. This app actually tells you, while you're playing it. Like words that end in e are largely feminine or all alcohol, aside from beer, are masculine.

I've spent years learning #German

Today is the first day that I found something that gives me hints on finding the gender of #Germannouns

I wish this was taught in class. I may have done better in class

New Story (2/2)
It’s in the darkness that we face our greatest fears: death, pain, agony, the things that we want to hide the most from our sight. Why should she fear the dark, when it can teach you so much.
She takes a moment and closes her eyes.

New Story Preview (1/2)
The light begins to sputter out. The candle has burned down to a nub.
She uses what’s left of the dying light to find a lantern or a place to light a fire. No matter how hard, or where she searched, she finds nothing.
… Or is it really nothing?

For anyone who may be interested, I'll be posting a new story preview tomorrow.

I hope you enjoy it!

NGL, I'm super happy that season 2 of #severance is out! It's such a #greatseries

#tvshows #weirdtv #newseason #darktelevision

Thank you. Me as well.

This is the first time I've felt my power while writing. This is scary, but I'm a positive way... if that makes sense

Nothing like a #late-night #writing bug...

Took a break from my character sketches to worrying something else that I've been feeling.

Thank you

... Or just to say what's up.

Because nobody cares about them.

She turns back over, and snuggles their dog while crying themselves to sleep.

(Das Ende)

... And every time they did it, it hurt. It hurt so deeply and so wholly that they decided to be the loner that everyone believed that they should be.

If that were the case, why not just make the final decision? Why not just end it? No one seems to care enough to check or... (pt 4)

...

They roll on their back and openly sob. The pain of everyone abandoning them for reasons they didn't know hurt as much as it did when they were a little child.

Ghosting may not have been slang when they were in elementary school, but people still did it regardless... (pt 3)

"...to keeping on living when everyone has made it clear that no one cares if you're here.," they cry into the dog's ruff.

The dog turns around and kicks their nose.

"At least I can trust that you'll be here.," they say as they stretch next to the dog.

... (pt 2)

They take a deep breath and exhale as they snuggle with the dozing corgi next to them. They bury their face in the ruff of the dogs neck.

She exhales and starts to keep.

"I... I don't know if I can do this anymore. No one cares. No one even bothers to ask about me. What's the purpose..." (pt 1)

Sometimes it's hard to know how to keep going... I've spent so long fighting to keep going, but how do you keep going when you may lose all of one's security?
