On a lighter note, Kid Me also created this hilarious attempt at a book cover. My main characters were 80% grown-ass dudes (that little guy's a halfling) because YA wasn't a thing back then and most of the MCs I'd read about were men

I found my stash of old notebooks. They go way back to 2001, when I was 12. They're a jumble of letters to God and fantasy worldbuilding. I had to reassure my God that I didn't really believe in other gods, they were just part of the story I was writing. Because I didn't want to hurt His feelings 😆

I could have written this. 😭 And once more for the back: some people really just use em-dashes -- we're not AI!
One of my favorite parts of the writing process is sitting with my outline - and by “outline” I mean the 3 pages of shimmering, rambling thoughts I found swirling around in my brain space - and finding the story. And no, the dashes are not AI - they’re ADHD.

Straight into the next one 😆
Also, this just made me realize that the flower on my head makes me look like I'm trying to be an anglerfish to flower-seekers 😯

I know Bluesky doesn't have a fancy algorithm, but sometimes, my feed just gets me.
I've felt the exact same way recently, but for an in-person writing group 😅

Back to listening to Crime and Punishment, and no, Raskolnikov, nooo! 😭
I can't believe I was just crying over this poor, sweet boy who was heartbroken over a horse being beaten, and now he's an axe murderer?! Goddammit, Fyodor.
That said, how insanely compelling is this contrast? *takes notes*

I feel this. Just got my rejection yesterday (though it wasn't so much a direct message to me as a post naming the people who got accepted, and my name wasn't there). But Imma keep going too!
Writing can be humbling, but I'm not discouraged! Still hoping for success this year, but going to keep telling stories because I love to do it! The most common answer is no, but I will get yes again one day!

So Nami got me thinking about Dostoyevsky again and I decided to listen to Crime and Punishment in YouTube. Bad idea. I forgot how good he is. I couldn't stop ugly crying over the dishes when I got to the dream about that scrawny, little horse straining to pull the cart full of people.

Every other year, I get this vicious urge to raze all my work to the ground and start over as someone else. I was just rereading my old blogs to see whether I still wanted to keep this username and I came across this... I wonder if anyone else has this problem

So I'm a real person, I'm just bad at all things social. I went out wearing black one day, and the lady I sat next to on the train got up and went to another seat. One man shouldered me aside in a line. I guess I look scary? (The mask is for air pollution btw, Metro Manila = mask always)

Nami's @namioshiro.bsky.social OC Aras. He's a gentle, lovable, negotiably immortal (?) cinnamon roll who's trapped in a tower and sacrificed every morning to ensure peace and prosperity for all. He is so over all of this.
I don't know what's going on with his lips but I'm done 😭

My Preptober is a disaster. 7 hours left, and all I know about my story is:
(a) romance scammer wants to leave her cult
(b) her ex is the son of the cult leader
(c) scammer's brother is trapped in mines where the ore sometimes gives birth to monsters
(d) she will do anything to save him

...And I said I was gonna cool it with the cat pics. 😅 This is different though, because this is, um, art, I guess? I made this Cheshire Cat head in Blender (left) so I could film a talking head YouTube video without showing my face. To the right are my initial ideas that didn't work out.

Okay, I shall soon cool it with the cat pics, I swear. But these are my bottle babies back when they were chicken nuggets (two medium-rare and one well-done) versus now when they are huge cattos overflowing from my lap

It's been over a year since I posted and it was just a pic of some random cats. It's now 2024 and I have basically nothing in my camera roll except my cats. I am now a cat lady. This is my fate. 🫥

Hello world, I guess? I don't have much to say right now, so here's a couple of cats from my morning walk.
