Still alive, writing and editing a lot and even drawing (mostly dragon sketches at work). Seasons has some new chapters now...
I saw something earlier about writing being something you can hone by doing lots of reading and writing. I wonder when that will apply to me. I've read a lot of books this year. I have almost hit my goal of 90 books, and while a couple are nonfiction and half are comics, the rest are novels. I expect that to increase again, now that I'm going back to the library. (I stopped with the bed bug scare.) Then I'm setting aside time each week to write. I work on stories at work, even if it's mostly just planning. (My laptop is falling apart so I just gave up taking it to work.)
Yet here I am, still the same idiot who doesn't have anything appealing enough for most people to read. I can't get 99% of my followers interested. Sales of Geckos have dropped to next-to-nothing. Nothing else I put out there matters either.
The fault lies with me. I'm not good enough.
After having this stupid blog for 12 years, I want to delete it. I want to delete my twitter account. I want to delete every single account and shut up for good. There is nothing I can offer.
My writing is a good hobby for me. I can get pats on the head for doing a little thing for myself. Aww, look at the cute little dumbass adult doing wittle storwies!!! Isn't that silly!!! They're not good, but he's having fun during the process.
Too bad he hasn't figured out that not even 39 more years of practice can save what he's handing out.

ahhhh! i'm nervous about the end of book 2, do you think you'll make it to 40 chapters in the end?
by the way, i don't forget that you promised a battle between Draxum and the fam, i really hope he gets his ass kicked.
*squeeze this every time you want to see Draxum get his ass kicked*
.
me:
also me latelly:
...it may be 41.
I'm gonna really try to put the next two chapters into two chapters. Everything is plotted out, I just...don't know if it'll be too much by the time I'm done writing it out. And just some of the vibes for a few scenes, it might flow better for them to be in separate chapters.
But we'll see. Two or three, there shouldn't be much of a wait between them hopefully.
Also, where you getting half a year? I've been trying really hard to avoid hinting how long it's going to be in-fic. I think the most I've done is mention that the Book 2 finale was supposed to take place in August, and it's currently late June/July so it's still pretty close.

not to be back on my bullshit already but like. ford talking about how he doesn't understand romance in journal 3 quite literally does not prove he's ace in any sense of the definition unless you assume only ace people struggle with traditional relationship models (literally not fucking true??) or that aro people are always/usually ace (I am beating you with a broom). it's evidence towards him being aro if anything!
but even then I think that's an accidental meaning in the writing. the passage exists to show how detached ford is from the sheer idea of family and how he doesn't understand fiddleford's attachment to his wife and son! it's also a subtle reason to show why the pines family might not notice anything after the portal incident (i.e- ford didn't talk to his parents or sister much, if at all, after moving to gravity falls.)
it's even more frustrating when ppl mention that line... and then make him alloace?????
