This year I’m going to try to write five paragraphs a week. What about yourself? #NewYear2026

This is one I need to completely rework and I hope to begin that this year. It’s from “Self Righteous FANatic”. I started it 2 years ago and I can’t wait to improve on it.

The dyed dark purpled haired girl sighs as she then calls Merp. She begins to get up and off of the bed as she stretches in her Utopia T-shirt that has gone unwashed for a week. She shuffles her way to her computer to pull up her digital sketch pad to continue work on her OC for her beloved show named Edward Sharingan. His light blue hair and neon red eyes are complimented nicely by his sea foam green/ bunny white pastel goth hoodie and digital black pants that shines so brightly it lights up the room by contrast alone. While gazing at her idol she clicks the call button for Merp on her digital shrine.
As the woman's hazel eyes adjust to the light, Merp finally picks up the call, “Valarie, I am seriously worried that you might have pushed him too far. People have already connected you to about 100 alt accounts calling insulting and harassing Quinton. I think one of them said that you hoped his dog would give him ebola. Thiers no way that’s you right? You know that you can’t get ebola from dogs right?”

For fun I think a nice way to celebrate the year is by making a list of all the media I engaged with for the first time this year.

I’m not sure if this one counts. I have it posted on my Tumblr, but I’m working to get it into a writer’s journal. This one is from my short story “Baby Born at Lake Turkana”

Once the battle died down, two men were left: a knight from the west and a ronin from the east. The two lost without masters and codes got ready to engage in combat as they snapped back to reality from their adrenaline high by the sounds of Enitan’s delivery. The two pawns of opposing sides walked to her, ready to usurp their king for the stolen honor they only had in their war stories.

The woman curled up, instinctively using her body as a shield as the two prepared to end things. With no choice, the baby burst from his mother's head, fully grown with a bronze demon mask. He wielded an iron mace in his right hand to make up for his missing left hand that was covered by his Atlas bear pelt cape. At the same time, a fiery red horse with a white mane burst from Enitan’s stomach. The horse covered Enitan with a jade-green robe of a former human. The horse then carried her mother's wounded body on her back as her brother got on her. Enitan held on to him as his dark skin felt like cold iron. He raised his mace hand as his fallen soldiers rose again with new falcon wings.

A scene from dragon ball z. There's a modern futuristic looking city with many dome-like buildings, and a couple of palm trees spaced out. Yamcha, Kirlling, and Gohan, are all standing around together, while a giant ghost of Goku is looking down at them from the clear skies.

A small bit of world building for the planet Leithalisu in #Vul.

#WIPSnips

#SciFiWriters

$The planet is about the same size and habitable zone as Earth. Its star Celi-kolo is of a similar size and age as Earth's sun. In early times, the planet had other planets in its solar system, but all have been mined for their raw metals and gases. Leithalisu, despite being in the habitable zone, was not considered a habitable planet for one simple reason. The planet had no atmosphere, thus no ozone. The rays of light were harsher on the planet, turning the world into a bare desert. That wasn’t to say there wasn’t life. Below the planet's surface lies a complex cave network. Within these networks are pockets of oxygen and hydrogen that help form water. Then, with the surrounding minerals, it creates the primordial soup of life that has resulted in strange microscopic life. While they resemble bacteria and protists in function, their shapes are more angular and fractal compared to their earthly counterparts. There have been a few cases of multicellular species emerging. This is due to the planet's core being fully formed and its plates set in place. Earthquakes and cave-ins are near impossible, giving them time to evolve to such a stage. Each pocket is isolated from the others, and as such, their DNA sequences are unlike Earth life. There are cases of chiral life forming, life that uses left spirals instead of our right. These microscopic life forms are like living radiation. One is capable of moving through another organism that has an opposite chirality and damaging not only its organs but also its DNA sequence. This did cause a large plague in 2820 that killed 90% of the population on the first day.$

Everyone began using their phones to access the World Wide Web. Something we thankfully restricted from your tablet. It was rough at the start, but then it got so much quicker, so much faster. It was all so clear, resolute, streamlined, and easy for your grandparents to understand. But what was a new world in their hands was my playground. It was an underground carnival. Like you, I was an adventurer; I found the World Wide Web on my computer in the late 2000s. Not long enough to remember the agony of dial-up or the boogeyman known as Clippy, but I remember the Wild West. So that’s what I told you.
I told you about the forums and websites I used to browse: Ifunny, Tumblr, SomethingAwful. You named it, I was there. I never typed; I wasn’t that good of a speller yet. I remember the memes that would burn for years. They were funnier than the memes now that only last a spark. I remembered stories of people working together to challenge authority, like celebrities, cartels, and cults, using nothing but their wit. You were just as shocked as I was when I told you about the time 4Chan found a flag using nothing but plane chemtrails.

While she was free, there was a chance to stop this.she knew that there were routes around the inner and outer skins of the ship. If she could get to medical, she could free Toren and Caul.
One thing at a time.
The access hatches she needed were between decks and she remembered that they were out of bounds during Ultra light. She’d have to wait and make a break for it. She couldn’t wait here forever.
A screech from deep inside of the tangle of pipes let her know that a rat had met its end. Sure enough, shortly after a VOLE appeared ahead, facing away from her. The little robot was covered in gore.
She froze by default, reaching for the wrench, which slid from the toolbelt. The satisfying weight of it felt good in her hand. The sound, a simple rustle of fabric as the wrench passed her baggy flight suit was enough for a machine built to detect rodents. The VOLE spun around, its motor whirring, arc zapper lit up blue.
She jumped back as it approached, felt her back hit the bulkhead behind her. The VOLE advanced, blue electrical arc dancing. “I’m not a rat you stupid thing!” she yelled as it closed the gap. It was small, crazy small, but menacing.
She had little room, but swung the wrench toward it, watched as it deftly avoided the stymied swing.a crackle of electric snapped before the arc shut itself down and the little robot stopped in its tracks.
It spun in place, facing away, zipped a metre down the small crawlspace before turning back to her. It repeated the process twice more before stopping, facing her. “I’m not following you out there,” she told it defiantly.
“Can you even hear me?”

This aspect then opens a portal and walks towards Mount Bauernhoff where the village of Adliger lies across the western side of Andriana. The mountains where created when parts of Antartica collided with Madgascar during the formation of Pangea Ultima. It became the biggest island in the Nosy Maro chain. Watching over all the other islands like a sovereign over there subjects. The Islands below where filled with turbines in the shallow beds near the islands collecting the ocean breeze and powering them while he man cover the mountain side and the its peak. Acting like a fan to the forest right side to give them moisture that we haven’t taken in our cloud making devices for our crops.

I've been very thankful for having a friend do a one-shot while I take a break. We are doing a Christmas oneshot, and I plan to play a character based on George Bailey. He is a celestial warlock.

I would have to say Avante Garde.

Upright it’s because he lives in a society that values you based on how well you fit in. The reason as to why is because the U.C provides for everything and runs everything.

Reversed is when he is rejected by the society and becomes a Punk God.

We're matching up our work to the Major Arcana Tarot Cards. So, tell us how your characters (or places, things, or events) match up!

Today's card is: THE DEVIL

Who or what from your writing would you put on it and how does it fit the meanings?

Welp, apparently 39 is the age I finally decide “I don’t know enough about that to write a book with characters that do that” is no longer a valid excuse to not try to write the thing.

I know it’s a meme that 1984 critiques (insert political party), but I’m surprised no one brings up how the third part is just arguments against postmodernism and solipsism.
