Plan was to listen to ch 1-10 today but I made it through 12. I think that deleted chapter really tightened up the pacing, even tho it took me a while to agree lol. Want to get through 10 more tomorrow!

The last time I felt this way abt a tekken character was when I saw Asuka in tekken 5. The characters are truly what keeps me coming back despite all the issues in the game. I’m so excited look at how cool she is 🥹

Zeta @zetakpierce.bsky.social · 2d

Miary Zo trailer was 🔥 I’m still a Kazama loyalist, but she’s gonna be my third character. Not even a sub, I think I’m gonna have to 3 whole mains in this game. That’s how much I love her already!

Evo has me hype any t8 again. All my fave pros are playing really well. we’re getting an asuka show down in top 8 🦍 no Jun rep in the finale but maybe when (if) they *actually* buff defense she will shine more

Marketing is hard. #Book marketing is super hard. Getting reviews for those books is harder still. Here we have a #collection of #SFF books that seem to largely fall between the cracks of easily defined genres, deserving of some attention.

Maybe check 'em out.

3 chapters left to revise in THW before my much needed reread/listen through. All I’m going to say is, book 2 is filled with badass women. Hero, villain, and (my personal favorite) in between. Makes me excited to start drafting book 3 soon!

I’d been planning on changing it, but in hindsight, I think it is more of a subjective thing. I did dial things back (a little) to make it more satisfying. But my gut tells me my target audience will understand like editor did. Sometimes it’s hard to know w such a small sample size 🫠

Zeta @zetakpierce.bsky.social · 5d

Reading my editors notes on a scene I was going to cut toward the end. She understood everything I intended. Like every bullet point of feedback was on par w what I wanted. But same scene didn’t land w a few betas.
