Audio Recording - 25% of draft recording done
The 2nd draft of "Children of Wilds and Walls" is shaping up well. Im expanding it some. Going to keep it tight, just need a couple scenes more.

I would like to stop living through history now. Can I live in the past when everything eas great? No, not that time. No, not that time either. No, a different time. No, I dont mean that time. No, I mean the good time. No, not that one. No, that's not it. No, another time...

I finished the reread of "Children of Wilds and Walls". Its an uncut gem. A really clean first draft ready to be worked into something great. The word count may increase to bolster the themes, but it reads pretty brisk already.

AND THE FIRST DRAFT IS DONE! 960 words written yesterday while at the club. 1,360 words written tonight with a glass of mead and black candles. 10,426 words total!
With that done, I'm not sure what to do with the rest of my night. Write some more, I guess.

I am 2-4k words away from finishing my current story. Crossing that line is my goal for the weekend.
After that, I think it'll be time to start editing and revising my backlog of drafts. And after that, typesetting, printing, and selling in the park!

I wish I had more time to write, and a better brain for making the most of the time I have. The ideas come faster than the words. The future comes head on before I can be ready. Its all too much and too fast. I can feel my characters starving and I don't feel up to the task. Stop the world! Mercy!

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Im learning that one of my biggest pet peeves in stories is "the asshole who is right, therefore justified in everything". For the second time in recent time, this trope has spoiled the ending of a story I otherwise might have loved.

"We must protect women from the big strong brains of anyone assigned male at birth" is a pretty revealing take from the gender essentialist transphobic pieces of shit.
IT’S FUCKING CHESS
What POSSIBLE advantage, even in the warped mind of a transphobe, could being transgender give you at chess? They’re so nakedly hateful they just can’t stand any trans person winning anything ever. Pathetic.

Darkness stalking from behind
Thorns and brambles so unkind
The coldest breath upon my neck,
Whisper "All things die, dont forget."
Through crooked branch I strain to see,
The silver light, moon shine on me
With my eyes in shadows deep
I flee the dread last-winter sleep

The first and final advantage of the human writer is the ability to stray from the light of God and build monuments to the most lurid expressions of abject sexuality, far out in the darkness where the brave may find them.

ANDOR SPOILERS:
i really love that Luthen's backstory was a kind of mirror to Syril's. Both men were minor cogs in the Empire's apparatus of violence. Both wound up used to perpetrate genocide. Both chose to step away.
The choices they made after that were wildly different.
