Woah, current wordcount is 63158, tallying up the chapters that are in queue to be posted. I'm starting to feel a bit more like myself, despite the pinched muscles and pain flareups
Guess I already said that though
It feels good, y'know? Being back in the zone, making progress w/ my babies
46k words so far this month, getting gassy bloated and crampy, so today might not make much more progress
Progress: An Age of Mysterious Memories, 8,805/55,555
Drafts scheduled to upload in order to add to the word-count of the Writathon Two chapters, each about 2,175'ish, added to the previous 8805 brings it to a bit over 13K 8805+2122+2261=13,188
In the first twenty-four hours I've participated in the #Writathon, I've managed about 13k words
I'm finally starting to feel like myself again
At home, making progress getting my beloved characters through this conflict that they've been sitting at for ages
Vol 6 ~140k to wrap up, we can do this!
Progress: An Age of Mysterious Memories, 6,560/55,555
2,169 words (plus the previous 6560 = 8729)
401 words, plus the previous 8,729 = 9,130
Personal challenge to self, to(despite the burnout & flareup) participate in RoyalRoad's November Writathon, is off to a decent start
I hadn't started til today (11/03/2024), but I've hit 9k, between the stuff that's gone up/will go up
I schedule draft publishing to space them out
We can do this fam
The AuDHD socializing/existing needing to communicate with other humans experience in a nutshell, heh
Hm... Leezahna gets a redemption arc...
OH!! Olashax or Vorzhog
Each has used either innocents, or their own allies as meat-shields/"human" shields against deadly force(None of them were human, all some sort of dragonkin like kobolds or dragonborn-ish creatures, while Olashax is an ancient Dragon)
Tooootally valid, and I agree wholeheartedly
just... monogamuggle cishets are... are they alright? (The answer is no a disproportionate percentage of the time)
Fair, fair
Also, despite Reggie not having a sex or gender(digital creature& changeling-fae), most readers will assume they're AMAB
Teuila is a warrior woman for sure
The only reason Reggie survives their encounters is because of their nerdery
Basically I'm yay'ing that their arc falls in line heh
Or a sequel to Dogma, yes, obvee
The best footnotes
I hope the racist person loses their platform, their money, and has to work retail&/or fast-food for the next ten years, like most of the rest of us have had to do
Maybe then they'd learn to keep their xenophobic mouth shut if they had a little human empathy
It sounds like the plot of an augmented reality Supernatural Season 16+, where demons plant too-obvious things in too-obvious places IRL to engage with the show's reboot
Or somebody's fanfic
I suppose...
I am shooketh one might say
I did not have Catholic Church endorsing Lucifer by way of chibi anime mascot on my 2024 is wild AF bingo card, lemme tellyawhat
What the hell timeline are we living in?
It sounds like an Onion article title, but I S2G(hah, so do the Catholic Church) that it's real
Luce=Light, Lucifer=Lightbringer
Pretty sure Nerd must be Ken then
I guess we'd better...
Show Ryu Ken
*Dons sunglasses*
I'll show myself out
That's a little on the nose, don'cha think? Pft, heh. Yes, I'm still miserable, yes still in flareup, and the heat is atrocious in my room, but pointing a fan at me blows dust up my nasal passages which effs them up
Life is pain X's, anyone who says differently is selling something
Fair enough
I didn't recognize myself as a writer for... decades, despite how much writing I did during that time, without thinking of it as "writing"
But that's impostor syndrome for ya I suppose
I want to represent the misbegotten& forgotten
I want to carve out a safe place in fantasy lit spaces for those intersectionally marginalized people that I know exist
I want my success in the face of adversity, my trauma& its handling, to help others, where I wasn't helped
I want you all to be happy
That's awesome, because I've totally been there (usually about coding/scripting for videogame mods, but sometimes for my writing)
Glad you got a chance to write it down
The only thing I've got (besides #ChronicIllness) is an ability to repost and hope the signal boost helps out
Here's hoping, fam
I feel you, so very very much
Yeah... Being a solo content creator, with multimedia dreams/plans...(Making 1 or more videogames on top of my webnovel series and cover art...)
Ugh, never enough time and spoons to dedicate to even mastering one of the several skills I'm gonna need
I'm starting some productivity tools for the first time
Hoping to finish my pre-outlined chapters in my free webnovel series before November, so that in November I can write based on flow, living with the characters
... that's like 3 days & 30 chaps
Uh, more realistically
Hoping to finish 3 chapters
...
Yeah...
I pushed to do "some stuff" nearly every day for like 9 months straight, and for the last month+ (and still going) I've been in the worst burnout state/biggest pain flareup of my life
Feel better :/
Fair, that's kinda what I've been doing
I toggled on the setting that makes it so that I can't post images without adding alt text to them, because my squirrel-brain would forget otherwise.
I do kinda wish I could give a 1000 word essay on every image in great detail, but I'm not there mentally
I'd feel like a dick to call it a wholely forgettable experience, because it might literally just be my own memory issues, which I've got plenty of, between PTSD and who knows what else rattling around in this skull, heh
Plus, there's only so many petabytes of info my brain can hang on to, y'know?
It...Great, now I'm getting it mixed up with Morbius
Like, I know I liked it enough that I turned off my brain and watched the whole thing
But I cannot for the life of me remember much except some back and forth between Eddie, ex wife, and venom
Maybe Carnage/Woodie H? Or was that a Spiderman movie?
I had to turn on an option on platforms just so that I remember to add alt-text, because Social Media is so draining that I'm usually throwing something together quick and wanting to get it over with
I'm glad it's an option to be unable to skip the alt text
I'm happy to help vision-impaired peeps
Got distracted from my distraction, went to look up Digimon quizzes, somehow ended up in a reread of the pre-written chapters of my webnovel series, for Volume 7
Blarghadoodle, I need to finish Volume 6 so I can finally post these and reveal the mysteries of An Age of Mysterious Memories!
An ex partner and I call ourselves poly pandemics
Pan(sexual) demi(romantic) gray As essentially
I just like the idea of a poly pandemic being like a horror movie for the monogomuggles, that just shows wholesome, healthy, communicative open relationships as the virus epidemic, lol
I like 'em!
Funnily enough, the end of Volume 3 centers around building a "Shield of Lacrimosa Trifecta", and I've rarely seen the word used elsewhere, so it's nice to stumble across it
Ooo, I don't know how to choose, or what would be chosen for me
Hm... Now I need to see if there's any of those silly quizzes, "See which Digimon partner you'd get" sorta things I guess, hah
More things to distract myself instead of focusing on writing
(Not necessarily a bad thing with IRL junk atm)
