Reminder my daily check-in's main purpose is to let others know I'm alive and okay, and I encourage EVERYONE to give similar going forward. Let people know you're still around. Going forward, every day will be uncertain. Affirmations are just a secondary bonus to the checking in. Stay strong. <3

hi not crying, i'm your wife~

Brianna Danielle Lewis @rbree2.bsky.social · 15h

I love you too, so very very much, my beautiful wonderful wife. You are so kind, caring, amazing, and cute. You leave me so fulfilled and feeling showered with love and joy.

I don’t tell you nearly often enough just how much you have transformed my life for the better. <3

I consider it a moral failure as a poet and songwriter that I don’t have a "one full album per year" rate going for love songs about my wife.

In two years I've written about 8 - 16, but it should be double to triple that amount. <3

Daily Check-in. If thinking of the future fills you with dread, take the actions needed to replace the dreaded future with a future you want to experience.

If you can’t take those actions, then instead of focusing on the future, focus on the present. Enjoy the moment and your time, as best you can.

silver lining, it means more fuel for Godzilla?

I just need to be hugged and told everything will be alright, that I'm loved, we'll survive, and that I am enough.

The truth is, SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any federal program (under 1%), and it helps keep millions of children, seniors, and working adults from going hungry.

Many recipients are working full-time jobs but still struggle to make ends meet. Wages simply haven’t kept pace with the rising costs of food and housing, leaving millions of hardworking Americans unable to afford basic necessities.

It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.

Meal hack:
1: have chili which has sauce, beans, and meat.
2: if you don't have chili with all 3, add those ingredients until you do.
3: add cheese
4: add one or two slices of bread.
5: depending on whether you have one or two slices of bread, congrats! You've made either a hot dog or a hamburger.

seems like a good time, can I be involved?~

yikesss

Breaking up the series into both Years and Books helps me solve chronology issues I’ve had struggles figuring out.

I know everything which happens.

But a lot of events were flexible.

Well, now I have a much better grasp on them!

(Might have more to say later.)

Brianna Danielle Lewis @rbree2.bsky.social · 2d

That doesn’t cover the various extended media. There’s a dozen different expanded universe stories I kinda want to tell.

But I think I can create everything in less than 20 years, if I do it right.

Brianna Danielle Lewis @rbree2.bsky.social · 2d

As in, once Book One is published, finishing the final book of what was intended to be the first book in six years. Circa 2032ish.

Then I can tackle the other two books, each taking a year or two.

It’s gonna be a longer grind and commitment than I was hoping for, but at least I have the plan.

Brianna Danielle Lewis @rbree2.bsky.social · 2d

But, that does mean I’ll have to write them relatively rapidly. I don’t wanna spend 24 years writing one book a year. I don’t even want to spend 12 years writing two a year. I’m aiming to tell the entire story of the originally intended first book in a timeframe of like six years or so.

Brianna Danielle Lewis @rbree2.bsky.social · 2d

The first half of Year One has five notable arcs to it, i.e., five books.
If that trend carries through, that means my originally intended one book will end up actually being 30.

Ideally, that gets trimmed down. I can probably tell my story in 18 - 24 books, covering all the content I’m aiming for.

Brianna Danielle Lewis @rbree2.bsky.social · 2d

Each Book would cover one anime Season, as it were. Or Manga Volume. Or be a single light novel, if you prefer. That would mean these 300 - 600 page books would each be a digestible length, with each featuring a climax, as well as a hook for the next book.

Brianna Danielle Lewis @rbree2.bsky.social · 2d

Year One alone, likely the shortest of the three, was too long. An estimated 2,000+ pages. No amount of creative editing and trimming could bring that down to the length of a single readable novel. So I needed to split the books even further. Channeling the animesque inspiration, I found a solution;

Brianna Danielle Lewis @rbree2.bsky.social · 2d

Year One, the intended first book, covering Vee’s first year isekai’d to the fantasy world.

Year Two, the intended second book, covered Vee’s second year.

And Post-Grad(uation) would cover her third year on the planet, then the aftermath in the following years.

But I ran into the same issue--

A #WriterSky thread about my story;
So my novel was originally intended to be just one single book. The first of three books I would write about the setting.

When I realized it would be too long for a single book, I broke it up into a trilogy, a la the way JRR Tolkien did The Lord of the Rings:

Daily check-in. It's okay to be tired. It's okay to be exhausted. It's okay to be overwhelmed. It's okay to be grieving. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to be burnt out. And it's okay if you need to withdraw, it's okay if you need to rest, it's okay if you don't get much done. Take your time. <3
