All right, pretty much the 1.0 functionality of ManaWriter is DONE. I need to finish doing the themes, test it a bunch, and then it's ready to roll. Probably in a week or two.

Depending on how well it sells, I'll roll out extra features next year, like having a pet in your little pixel house

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen

Tori Amos
Weird Al
Swans
My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult
KMFDM

huh, @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social helped me brainstorm and we came up with ManaWriter...and I think that's it! ManaWriter seems to fit. What do you think?

What should I call my SNES RPG focus writing freewrite thingy?

Sphere won for this weekend's #HorrorWatch! Join us this Saturday at 9PM EST!

I am Hobbit cartoon years old

basicly, all I have left to do is make the starter themes (default, one for horror, one for epic fantasy, one for cozy fantasy), and test it a bunch

I'm almost done with my quick and dirty project. What is this? Well! It's a focus wordprocessor thingy, but made to look & play like an SNES RPG.

Yes, write a novel in an RPG.

Basically, imagine if Nintendo saw the Alphasmart Neo & thought to combine it with a GBA

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

My feelings on piracy are very colored by my years working as an erotic writer for hire, because every pirate was all "I'm jerking off to your work without paying for it to punish you for choosing a dissolute profession! I have the moral high ground here!"

Oh my darling moaning medusas of #HorrorWatch! What shall we chose for our fifth film in this November of SCIFI Horror?

People often think it's that easy to set up a small press.

IT IS NOT.

The cycle of life!

Lolol

Thank you to everyone that's being silly, ridiculous, or upbeat on here

As I careen back and forth from low grade depression to sudden, sharp grieving, interspersed with moments of forgetting & frivolity

You all make things a little better

There are too many tiresome pirated book sites pretending to be cultural Robin Hoods but taking from people who usually make little in the 1st damn place & who are sandblasted at having to constantly face this, & will gladly sign a damn book for you. And the actual library system? IT WORKS. Use it.

Yeah, they got pretty much all of my stuff. And everybody else's. Some bullshit called Anna's Archive.

i always follow up with, “this is what public libraries are for, ppl. and libraries pay authors."

It particularly pisses me off that a short story that I have only ever given away in my newsletter is on all these pirate sites.

One, it's free with my newsletter, so you don't have to pirate it, and two, it feels like a particular betrayal that a subscriber would put it on a pirate site.

"I Thought She Was Afeard Till She Stroked My Beard" by Joanna Russ is probably one of my favorite short stories of all time. The Adventures of Alyx collection is fantastic, some of the best sword and sorcery I've ever read

ALL RIGHT! ARE YOU READY, #HorrorWatch?
It's time! Time to press

PLAYYYYYYYYYYYYY

ONLY ONE MORE HOUR UNTIL #HorrorWatch!

I am so giddy I could explode with maggots and guts everywhere
