looks terrifying
So something pretty interesting happened last night 
it was the usual write night, and during the talk-and-share portion of the event, two other women joined our table. I didn’t recognize them and thought they were new, until we started exchanging names.
It turned out that they had not only met me before, but they were the same women I talked to during my very first write night several months ago! They remembered me and the story I was working on, and even said that I left a good and strong impression 
it made me feel bad that I didn’t remember them 
The rest of the night went well! I haven’t made much progress with my actual writing, but I also need to focus on job applications more. I’m still waiting to hear back from the two companies I interviewed with last week—I’m hoping for some good news

It’s a bit complicated, but not really after you get the main concept (that all gods are just different forms of the same entity, so the chart describes transformations rather than family dynamics).
And it’s definitely shorter than the Greek Gods chart.

Ah ok.
I prefer a blank paper tho… i think it’s more simple to understand 
(jkjk)
But seriously… Christinanity is polytheistic. Fight me.
Yeah, me too. We don’t have many worlds with no gods, and that’s a shame.
I remember this one poem called the Hymn of Nonexistence that talks about how we all came from nothing, and that’s something I should prefer. Or at least my personal translation of it.

I had a writing day
It’s been over a week since the last one.
And, I came up with the Koltsland way of the “F“ word in this world
Lwendolen: fik (the original one. Every other “F“ word stems from here.)
Arcanland: fug (they thought about fig, but that’s a fruit, so)
Koltsland: figgle-fuggle
For context, Koltts tend to be a little silly, a little quirky, and they like a good joke, a good time. Lwennens are serious. Arcans are a little less serious, but not as silly as Koltts are.

okay, I worked out one wall
now the next
what do I do with Anastasia? Why does Richard let her go? Or, does she escape and he just doesn’t bother searching? Does he foresee she will leave and just let her go before she even thinks about escaping?
He took her in and actively tried to keep her while he waited for his visions to tell him what to do with her in relations to his big mission in life
So maybe…he gets a new vision? And it shows her in a new place doing a new thing, and so he lets her go when she brings it up to him?
Hmm 
Because it does make sense that she might tell him she got a job and must now leave
No writing in days thanks for my severe carpal tunnel syndrome.
Even though I am still typing, I’m just trying not to type for what feels like hours.

Share: Not related to writing, but I have a third-round job interview scheduled for this Thursday and I’m simultaneously excited and nervous 
it’s been a while since I’ve gotten to this stage of the hiring process and I’m really hoping to land the role. The lack of a proper schedule and any income has been affecting my overall health—to the point of experiencing physical symptoms—which in turn has been affecting my writing output 
Wish me luck for this week!
Ask: Also unrelated to writing (but related to the above), does anyone here have advice for nailing a third-round interview, especially for a technical role? 
Progress: I’ve written roughly a thousand more words recently and managed to finish Chapter LXV of Blood Will Tell! Act II still hasn’t wrapped up yet, but we’re edging closer and closer to the end

I don’t have advice, unfortunately
I just wanted to say that I like your style of Share, Ask, Progress and might steal it a little bit

Share: I wanted some inspiration for a Texas-like place in my world and learned for the first time yesterday that during 1836-1846 Texas was a country. Republic of Texas. Idk if people in the states learn this, but we definitely did not learn this in Japan.
Progress: In my past post,
I was having this trouble, and I might have figured it out. I metagrobolized so hard, that I metagrobolized myself out of it 
It’s an old word that means to be puzzled or confused, but you can, apparently, be so puzzled that you puzzle yourself out of it and find a solution.
Anyway, Richard is keeping her and waiting for a vision that will show what he needs to do with her.
I decided that Richard sees her escaping in his vision and the vision shows that as the bad outcome for him in the long run (if she escapes, desperation could lead her to his sister which is bad). So, he decides to let her go. Maybe he even gives her a little money from his stash, but she refuses the money he got from doing bad deeds.
Maybe, oooh, maybe he even takes her to her new job himself. Just to make sure that’s actually where she’s going.

Just ask me, I literally lived there for 3 years. And history of Texas was an actual subject for the entire year so I’d know a thing or two…

No advice either aside from, “Fake it till you make it.” Confidence can go a long way. Be honest, but not too honest. Instead of, “I don’t know that,” say, “I’m not fluent in X but I’ve worked with similar tools/tech Y and Z.” Other than that, it’s luck. 
The people that I’ve seen keep their jobs are not the most productive unfortunately, they happen to be experts in the social game. And that sucks for introverts, but it is what it is. I’ve seen people get promotions and titles they don’t actually have qualifications for because they play the, “Fake it till you make it” game well.

I want to write too many things at once. The short story I wrote a year or two ago that I never finished (dark fantasy romance). A vague idea that I haven’t actually written anything for yet (supernatural romantic comedy), maybe some notes. And another idea that’s just a dream and not plot (futuristic mech marry the enemy prince/King trope). 
I know squat about mechs. I’ve read a Halo book. And watched maybe two or three Gundam animes that I can’t remember or explain.
Haven’t touched the second draft to my prequel in a few days. Caught a cold and was burned out so I was like okay, let me rest. Now I’m rested and I want to do all the things! And therefore, I’ll do nothing! Yay! 
Alright 
So I shall ask, how did Texas stop being a country in 1846. How did it end? That’s the part I can’t seem to find an easy answer to. Who started what and how did it all end up going down?
This will not be used in the story, however I’m just curious

Right now I’m struggling with the timeline of my world because I want to decide at what point they invented calculus.
They couldn’t organize themselves, the government fell apart, and everyone kept attacking them, so they had to find a big strong country to suck up to and beg for protection from
Oh, and this is AFTER they fought and won a war of independence against Mexico looool
