Wrote nearly 3,000 words yesterday, which turns out was a good move because I woke up feeling sick and gross today and I'm not sure I'm going to have a ton of energy for creativity. We'll see

Vampire mythologies always have a cabal of really old powerful vampire elites who control everything but what if they're really like a bunch of vampire boomers running a bullshit vampire HOA and no one takes them seriously at all

One bonus of my SAD sun lamp is that it makes my olive-toned skin look like I'm a bronzed surfer god on Teams calls and I'm very okay with that

Serious post: I want a "documentary" about the Clone Wars and the fall of the Republic done in the style of The Civil War. Ken Burns doing it would give it an enormous amount of gravitas
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

One of my worst writing habits is confusing the word "implicitly" with "completely"

Dispatch was absolutely fantastic. Probably the best visual novel I've ever played. 10/10.

Anyway, all this is to say: keep going, other writers out there. It's not alway fun, and sometimes it's really not fun at all. But if you keep writing, eventually, you'll have written. If you just scroll, well, you end up with a grumpy brain and no pages.

Saying Quest for Glory would be cheating, so I'll mention another major influence, King's Quest VI (my favorite in that series byfar)

I made a powerpoint to kick off my book project with my publisher. That's a normal thing writers do, right?

I've got two big fiction projects in the hopper right now: a found family steampunk space adventure (think Space 1889 with more aliens) and a slow burn modern paranormal romance that's been super fun to work on. I like having two to switch between, which is new and unusual for me!
