Working on two books now
Started making Stardew Valley videos to keep myself sane
Far from perfect, but I want to try and make this a safe place
Zero tolerance for bigots. Fascists, MAGA, and alpha males can all f*ck off
Oh right, I do YouTube videos sometimes. Finally working on the third Stardew video consistently again. Depression is a bitch.

Felt like it took forever, but chapter 2 of The Vagabond Knight's first draft is finally done 😭 It's a mess, and I already want to redo it, but I'm not listening to the perfectionist and am going to leave it for editing

Ouch 😂 Memo to me, no more videos on other games, there is only Stardew Valley.

A little teaser for the next video. The new Darktide update is fun >:)

For the first time in a long time I actually managed to get 1,000 words done in a single day. Just ignore the fact it took me 4 hours to do so.

Also LibreOffice is awesome, use it instead.

550+ words written today, + a sneak peak of the first draft. Been neglecting it to get the video finished, but it feels good to be writing. Maybe I'll set a schedule now.

Oh and I finally switched to LibreOffice. Screw you Microsoft😇

The video is officially done, I just need to tidy up some things, make the thumbnail, and do a small ending recording for...reasons. You'll understand when you watch it.

In some lighter news, I do remember to write from time to time. This is a snippet from my first draft of The Vagabond Knight, a fantasy story of knights, tournaments, political intrigue, family, redemption, and acceptance.

On a more positive note (and trying to distract myself from the horrors of reality a bit), I'm almost done the script for the second Stardew video. Probably going to record the voiceover tomorrow and then start editing after that. This shit's a lot of fun.

You do not fuck with Margaret Atwood.

A rough recreation of Iris - a sword from the Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone - using Pixel Studio. It's a rushed tracing job, but I needed the practice, and I'm (mostly) happy with it.

Israel will use any excuse to continue their atrocities. Anyone who tries to defend this is complicit.

I'm fucking tired man...

Honestly? That's a hell of a lot better than I thought it'd do.

Want to get the COVID vaccine in Alberta? Well that'll just cost you money, and you can only pre-order it during a 6 week period ahead of time. The United Conservative Party would rather people be sick and dying than make people's right to healthcare easy. Fuck the UCP, and fuck Danielle Smith 🖕

It's not all just the worldly stuff. Sometimes I talk about the things I like doing too.

This is Galleren de Martineau, the protagonist of my novel, the Vagabond Knight. He's gone through a lot of changes over the years, but I think I'm closing in on something final. #writing #character #heroforge

Some good advice in fighting against this recent censorship from payment processors. Drown them in phone calls, do not harass anyone, be polite, don't let them redirect you to do an email, and take up as much of their time (and therefore money) as you can. Fight fire with fire

New Profile Picture just dropped. Am I a real artist now, guys? Made with Pixel Studio for those curious.

I've heard good things for years. So I finally took the plunge to see if I like it.

I've been writing this book this since 2019. There's been a lot of ups and downs since then that have slowed my progress, sometimes months at a time. But I haven't given up. And at the end of the day, it's still the most writing I've done for a single work. Let's see if I can finally finish it.
