The only thing I hate about the popularity of "Dungeon Crawler Carl" are all the copycats appearing. The titles are like a shitty LitRPG mad-lib: "Turn-Based Fantasy Trope + Average White Dude Name." "Tiamat Tamer Troy" or some shit. (Actually, I kinda like that one. I need to write that down.)

I move out of Oregon in less than three weeks, and I find it odd that the ENTIRE state is jonesin' to elect a Republican governor because "everything is expensive". Yeah, that was the same logic they (the country at large) used to justify voting for Trump, and look how that turned out?

One of my biggest accomplishments after turning 50 yesterday is realizing what my physical limitations are as a newly-minted old man.

I hit a milestone this evening. For the first time in my life, I nudged past the 50K-word mark in a story I'm writing.

Sometimes, the only thing separating a perfectly typed word from a typo is the speed with which one hand types compared to the other. Or at least, that's what I beleive.

Last week, I hit 40K words on a writing project. In a year of complete crap, that was a humble point of joy. I also went stargazing with my roommates. I accidentally invited myself. Pretty friggin' sweet. I guess I'm accidentally inviting achievements to cheer me up amidst dread.

This is the first Labor Day I had off from work in a while. I just wish the day off wasn't because I was unemployed.

This week I was laid off from a job before I even started it. (I was in the middle of doing training modules when they notified me that the position had been cut). Worse? They're still sending me emails about not completing my I-9. FFS.

I haven't been this excited for a "Star Wars" property in years. "The Ninth Jedi" what's the single best anime short in the "Star Wars: Visions" anthology. I often muse that I would make a great TV series, canonically or no. Looks like they heard my subliminal thoughts. youtu.be/6nUStmkGRec?...

Writer update: I've held back on talking about the chapters I've posted from "How to Raise a Half-Orc". It was easily the most difficult and challenging chapter to write of the entire book (thus far). I wanted it to be something more than a typical "lore dump". www.wattpad.com/1640233729-h...

Based on a true story... from yesterday (as of this posting). I went to a tea festival, and there were WAY too many people. Rude people, too. My social anxiety isn't usually that triggered, but - DAMN! - it felt like a mosh pit. I only lasted an hour.

I hit a milestone this week. Before this current story, the most I've ever written on a single work-in-progress was 27, 500 words. With my current novel, I'm sitting at around 29, 000 words. #writer #author #writertok #wordcount #meme

I finally started putting chapters the the novel I started in October. Wattpad seems like the best place to test the waters. The plot? An old elf hermit mercenary finds himself having to raise a female half-orc. Link in the comments. www.wattpad.com/story/411407...

Since I have some extra time on my hands these days, I thought I'd put those hands to good use, and put them back on the keyboard. The long just stating novel is no longer gestating. 900 words last night ain't bad for baby steps back into the fray.

FMLA was denied, so I had to quit my main job. Apparently, you can't take any time off to recover from any condition so long as you're still ambulatory. Cool... good to know.

I stayed up all night putting this together. It's the intended prologue for a sci-fantasy novel I have yet to write. A fragile part of me wanted to see it visualized as an anime. That's it. Is it slop? Maybe. youtu.be/g-bWMlo2h6w?... #anime #ai #excalibur #avalon #fae
