Thank you. :blush:

No, it’s not childish! It seems to be a growing problem imho. I’ve noticed this a lot on YouTube, that a lot of people today seem to think other people exist to help them make their dreams come true, but those people don’t feel any obligation to reciprocate. I think it’s an ego thing. I’m not on YouTube, but I see it all the time there and it bothers me too!

I had to change my desk setup to make it make more sense for me.
So, I am not getting a new desk for a while.

I think the setup is nice and sensible to me.
Also, I need to get a printer stand since my desk isn’t able to hold the printer due to the lack of space.

I also want to get some more ink too.
I hope I get lucky next year with cash.

I am going to do this for myself and by myself.

For each of my three novels. I am just going to wing the hell out of it.
I am going to, for each three novels, write chapter 1 and 2.

Then stop for a bit then reread the chapter 1 and 2 then see if I can finish writing freely or I need to plot/plan my chapters and plot.

Doesn’t matter if I do the novels in play or novel format. The point is to test my skills and see where my skills take me.

That is all I want to say.
From now, on, I am going to do what only feels right to me.

@copyedit I found a guy who tortures his characters more than you do.

I can see that, youtube especially is competitive these days with how horribly they run their monetization/copyright/ect. system. in my case i don’t think i’m friends with enough “content creators” for ego to be the issue. I think most of them either don’t realize how much interaction helps or don’t care enough or like the content I post enough to interact of their own volition. Which, understandable, but ouch :sob: :joy:

the ego thing definitely effects other areas though! Like its hard to make new friends who are content creators lol. Sometimes I’ll get a new writer follower on tiktok and be like, yay new buddy! only to realize they just wanted a follow-for-follow.

I haven’t done a lot of writing recently, but I have designed more covers. Apparently every time I enter a graphic slump, my writing picks up, and when I enter a writing slump, I go on a graphic roll XD just some examples of what I’ve worked on lately!

I might reopen my cover shop here on Wacky! It’s been more than a year since it last opened, though. I’m not sure if they’ll be willing to resurrect a thread that old but I still have the link to it.

I do have another shop currently open on Wattpad, as part of a community. I can send the link in case anybody’s interested :eyes:

Anyway, back to writing. Act I is nearing its end ever so slowly. I hope to finish it by early December. Once it’s concluded, I’ll have a third of the book down already.

Thank you! :smiley: here’s the link ^^;

The graphic shop is a community graphic shop, so there are multiple designers offering graphics in the same book, me included (:

Long time no see. LOL! Nah, I’m just kidding.

Anyway, I figured out my three stories far as the summary and title goes.

Here are my three stories’ titles:
(I’ve made changes too)

  1. Heretics: The Red Ghosts of Nightmares.
  2. The Mage Lord: Machina Reborn.
  3. The Breakers: The Witch of Arcane Sins.

I am digging it…

Well, I haven’t written much these past few days but I’m hoping that it’ll get better next week after I’m settled in to my new place.

In good news I got an idea for a new story from a dream I had.
