3 days after this post I fractured my leg CLEAN in half. I was in lots of agony and was in recovery for a few months. I had surgery on my leg and now I've been haunted by a grotesque scar on me since. I still skateboard to this day, but been on hiatus because of Winter.
@michaelastackpole.bsky.social Despite my clear vision of the rest of the book, I struggle to immediately come up with the next chapter as soon as I finish writing one. I have to take time to plan how/what I write, and which characters will get involved. Have you felt that way before?

I find Grok to be a more suspicious AI because of the origins with Elon Musk. However, I noticed its been debating MAGA people with intellectual facts online.

Victory Gundam is peak fiction. ๐

I finally finished Gundam Unicorn! I REALLY wanted to like it, but I found the story and characters (except Maridia) very bland. Victory Gundam is 1,000,000,000ร better because that's peak fiction.

Toshikoshi Soba! One of my favorite Japanese traditions! For over 400 years, my ancestors ate this on New Years Eve since the dawn of the Edo Period. The long noodles present a long life of happiness. ๐ฏ๐ต

@michaelastackpole.bsky.social Hey! It's been a while! My novel's draft has just surpassed the 120k words milestone! I still wanna get my draft completed soon so you can take a look, but it takes a lot of mental energy. Taking many ideas from your books and other scifi media like Gundam.

@michaelastackpole.bsky.social Update for my novel! Its now surpassed 112k words but sometimes I get a little stuck while writing a chapter and end up doing other hobbies. But I'm still writing little by little. Sometimes when I write even a bit of a chapter, I feel great! My story has potential!
I saw Blackout fly over my house. By the time I took this photo, he was already further away. I first heard a low rumbling in the sky, I looked around and then suddenly saw the helicopter hover over me! It was so cool!

@michaelastackpole.bsky.social I may have mentioned it before, but the real-world toy company Bandai exists in my story, and they fund military hardware development across many factions for their profit. Turns out AT&T is doing exactly that with military robots in DC. ๐
@michaelastackpole.bsky.social Just finished The Bacta War! It was a very fast-paced and action-packed conclusion of the Rogue Squadron sub series! This was a spectacular novel! Ooryl's ending was so wholesome and earned! He was my favorite in this series!
A highly ambitious project one of my best friends is working on!

In my head canon George Lucas watched Victory Gundam while making the Prequels.

@michaelastackpole.bsky.social When Yoshiyuki Tomino (the creator of Gundam) wrote the Hathaway's Flash Trilogy, he included artist illustrations of some of the mobile suits featured in the story with descriptions and commentary. My main desire with writing is to become the next Yoshiyuki Tomino!
@michaelastackpole.bsky.social A friend of mine is working on an original story using these commissioned designs from an artist. It got me thinking, what if my published novels had illustrations of the mecha and starfighters in my stories as a bonus art gallery?
@michaelastackpole.bsky.social Just finished another chapter! At this point, I just want to complete my story's draft already because I have a clear vision for the rest of the book. Even if later chapters feel rushed, that's where you'll come in later. I am also brainstorming for the next novel.
@michaelastackpole.bsky.social I shared my head canon of how Isard posted Corran Horn's nudes on Twitter at the end, and after he left some other guy saw my book, "I have that novel too!" So I told him too about my original novel in development and how you're my mentor. ๐
@michaelastackpole.bsky.social A customer at my part-time job saw my copy of The Bacta War; "Is that your Star Wars book? Michael A. Stackpole?" I proudly told him how you're my mentor as I am writing my own book! He told me that he finished Wedge's Gamnle, and I told him next book will be great!
Class ended earlier after I passed an exam. So I went to a local skatepark near the trade school. I've been mastering sharper turns left and right as I weaved through obstacles! I also made a friend here!

@michaelastackpole.bsky.social that is a quote from Majora's Mask, and it made me think of your books when I started a playthrough. ๐

Americans according to Japan. As a Japanese American who visited growing up, I assure you this is an accurate perception.
