 So, uh, early last month I started posting a serial again! Yeah, I just didn't want to mention anything about it before I got the ball rolling (look, I know how bad my own momentum is, and therefore, I needed a while). It's up on Wattpad. 

Part of this is that I'm trying to fight my own perfectionism, which is why it's an early draft. This might all get cut or cleaned up a lot later on for an ebook release, but right now, it's a bit meandering and light on description. Some people might still want to read that, I don't know, but it's better than me having this sit on my computer/4thewords account and just fretting over how good or not good it is.

Part of this is that I haven't been posting anything in public for three years, and it's like I have to get back on the horse, relearn how to walk, whatever metaphor works best, I don't know. It may or may not take me a while to get my footing, but I am also a bad judge of that. 

If you've read The Wake, most of the characters would be familiar to you, since I literally just took them and changed their timeline. It doesn't completely follow what I wrote before, but there's so far a handful of events that are similar. 

I honestly don't know if it's called Supermassive because of a plot point or because of how big it could get. I'm already sitting on 30k, and I'll be spending my November writing another 50k (look, I've been doing NaNoWriMo since I was 17, so almost half my life, it's high time that I decided to rebel, and it's like the weakest rebelling ever because the only thing I'm doing against the "rules" is that it's not a new story. Still doing the 50k in 30 days just like everyone else). Because of NaNo I'll be updating once a week instead of twice like I was for most of October, but that's because I have slightly less editing time right now. The chapters (well, parts) are short because I genuinely have no idea what's an ideal length for Wattpad. Don't be surprised if everything disappears suddenly for a day and then reappears as I've combined a few parts together. (And also fixing that cover. That was mostly me trying out Krita, though. Krita -- not bad for photo manipulation, but clearly not the best choice.)

Anyway, there it is. I was supposed to start this last April (as in April of 2020, what is time anymore). Hopefully it gets better as I get further into the story. Have fun. :D

One year after the pandemic began

Over here on my little island we're just coming out of level 5 lockdown. For the last month, we've been dealing with a massive cluster of cases along with one of the Covid-19 variants. It appears to be settling down now. We've had the longest provincial election ever (which still isn't over, by the way!). We have a vaccine plan now so the ball is finally rolling on that. I am genuinely not sure what day it is because of how repetitive everything has been. In fact, I started using a planner not because I had anything to keep track of, but because it's proof that something happened each day. It is not a very big planner, just an A6-sized one. I've also been spending a lot of time playing Stardew Valley. It's taken me three months to watch a single season of Supernatural (because I figured I may as well watch the entire show now it's over. Yes, I know it goes off the rails after like season five. No, I don't actually care. I don't watch television

The obligatory first post.

I am only back on Blogger because Wordpress.com costs more to use somehow . I try to use my own domains but somehow that's incompatible and costs more money. Ugh. Anyway, there's going to be a few bumps here and there as I get things set up here (including layout). It's been a very, very long time since I used Blogger at all. My last website was on Wordpress, but I guess I'm moving everything here instead despite that. For the last... four years, I think? I've had an online serial. A handful of you may have read it. It was called The Wake, got to three volumes and then I stopped writing it (which I'll explain about later). And then I tried something else, and I honestly have no idea if I had any readers because I turned off the comments. Oops. And then it got to website renewal time and I realised it wasn't worth the cost of having the site anymore. (And yes, clearly it worked so well the first time that I'm just going to keep doing it? There is a meth

 Around eight months ago, there were snow drifts almost as tall as I am (not that I'm very tall, of course). My province is currently under forest fire warning because of the surprise heat wave. So there's been a bit of a weather swing.  I have not been writing very much in general. Something about the whole general atmosphere makes it very difficult, but I'm trying. I think I'm on the third draft of the same story because I can't make it work right. I also managed to write a script during Camp NaNoWriMo July without any sort of a B-plot. It didn't come out great, but there might be the seeds for something better in there. I don't know yet. I've also been refreshing my HTML5 and CSS3 knowledge because it's been years since I did anything with either (from back before they had the numbers and were just HTML and CSS). But actually getting something finished ? Not so much. I've been mostly just reading a lot. Wow, this has been a scintillating post
