I take back everything reasonable I said during the SFWA debate. Until we have regulations in place on this monster shit, I am unreasonable. I am reactionary. I am anti-progress.

happy new year 🖤💎

A: i plan to keep going the same pace and abandon resolutions! in terms of worldbuilding i'd like to focus more on Ešurassun and the TTRPG setting i want to run (👀). my writing goals are to write 1) more short stories & 2) a novel—literally ANY novel orz

happy new year~!

#DecemberWorldbuilders

this is such a mood 🙃 building a habit, a practice, is so vital to consistent quality but some days it's really difficult, isn't it?

A: i feel a pretty neutral "meh" about it. definitely did NOT write as much as i wanted (which was to complete the zero draft of a novel... didn't happen). despite this, i like a lot of what i wrote and am coming to appreciate my style more because at least i CAN write!

#DecemberWorldbuilders

A: something unique about Ešurassun is that it's one of many realms dotting the spokes of a world known as the Wheel: a literal wheel with "heaven" as the hubcap! and the necrotic energy of the dead worlds along the spokes have slowed down the wheel, therefore time itself
