Random thought as I'm listening to some online literary analysis!

I feel like Lit classes I attended spent way too much time picking apart the author's intentions? I see why sometimes that can have value... but maybe we could've spent more time analyzing what elements of the story meant to ~us~

Need to leave most of the other big social media sites soon.

They're all getting pretty... evil.

Need a good alternative to Insta, maybe even FB tho I haven't visited in over a decade. It's be hard to keep friends across platforms & YT will be tough, but gotta hold the line.

What can you do?

I'm not great at telling how old people are, when I was younger I could just barely make out the difference between twenties and thirties by how much of the joy and light of life had left their eyes. I use a similar metric today, but there's less light to work with.

There should be more places where it is socially acceptable to play pretend and fight your fellow adults with a wooden greatsword and stuff.

The imagination is magic. Pretending is the magic of life!!

The holidays can be a very lonely time for a lot of people. Not all families are close, not everyone is in a good place, or position. Hang in there.

If times are tough for you, I hope things turn around.

I hope we all find 'our people' and get many more occasions to celebrate with them.

These are two snippets I always keep around, to encourage me to keep writing.

The first from Tolkien is very validating when I'm not sure I've planned well enough

The second, from Maya Angelou, always makes me laugh

Idk if I already posted somewhere, but had a bit of a writing/editing setback again, potentially needing to shorten my novel by another 15k words

I'm still going to query while I edit, though that may be a waste if people don't look twice past the word count.

We shall see

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I love collaborative games

I don't know if there's a competitive bone in my body, I'm always a little uncomfortable playing /against/ people, but playing WITH them? Excellent.

Games that let me exercise that instinct to help others are so nice 🙌 Easy way to trick me into playing something new lol

Whenever I think of how CARTOONISHLY evil trump is I remember it's also literal.

Like, MANY cartoon villains were actually based on him. Before he ever got into politics. That orange disease has always been a villain.

Editing setback as after reaching my goal of reducing the book down to 135kwrds I've seen requests to get it to 120k or lower... which is understandable, but difficult 😅

I like longer books and there's only so much I can remove from mine in another pass... but I'll do my best while juggling queries

There is and will always be an INTRINSIC motivation to make things worse under Capitalism. Literally.

Everything you hate about the economy: shrinkflation, skimpflation, planned obsolescence, no oversight, low wages -- all foregone conclusions if you give Capitalism enough time to establish itself.

Imagine the sheer relief when the monsters are out of power and we can better support one another again

The lives saved, the stress dissolving away, and maybe... maybe even justice. Wouldn't it be so nice to have justice?

It seems so far away, but you never know, could be just the turn of a corner

I don't want to spoil people's fun, but at the same time I've just got to say: I have this prediction

You know how paranormal experiences were very widespread until everyone had a camera in their hands & suddenly evidence was very slim?

I bet there'll be a rise again with AI running wild 😂

Lots of people talk about DarkSouls when they discuss intentionally difficult games, but what I have to say MUST be said

I have played every DS & Soulslike from ER & Sekiro to Lies of P. Sure, they're challenging.

but fr... have you ever tried to fight the secret bosses in Kingdom Hearts games?!?!

My attempt at a ShinRa Bangle so far!
Added two materia

I just wanted to have something that feels like it really came from the FFVII world.

If I make another I'll try to get it smaller/sleeker, less cosplay/more casual, but I was limited by the size of the 'materia' this time. Came out okay!
