Who is at fault for front loading random ass accolades all over book descriptions? Like just tell me what it's about!

I finished a story outline today.
Which might just be the furthest I've gotten towards completing a story since I've been trying to write.
Still going to have to add more details but it's improvement.

I've started DM-ing for some friends lately, and it's really got me thinking of storytelling in a whole new way.
Learning how to marry character stories with the plot is going to be a very large hurdle.

Decided to watch someone play through Astro Bot, and god damn the music brings me back to the platformers of my childhood. Oddly, it reminds me of the vibes of Billy Hatcher.

I'm really struggling to clean everything and get it sorted. Every time I get up to do some work, I get overwhelmed. Doing a little bit every day helps a lot.

My interest in maintaining social media has been at rock bottom for so many years now. I genuinely never look at any of them and don't know what to post hardly ever.

Finally getting around to reading The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang, and so far, it's very good.
