So how are you?

Yaaay thank you I am so tired and sick oh my gosh

And next week we have company and stuff I JUST WANT TO GO HOME AND RELAX ALONE WITH VIDEO GAMES AND HOT POCKETS

Also yeah, I have a problem taking criticism. If I step away for A MONTH and come back haha it's better. That knee jerk of "i'm not wrong!" when it comes to my writing though. Dannngg i'm bad. I'm trying to get better about it.

Imagine angrier and tada!

Sounds pretty fun. I don't know much about Baldur's Gate as I've only seen it played a couple of times and didn't really get what was going on but I've looked at a video of Pillars and I do remember that general style.

That take on health is really neat. I like the idea of that the more you exert yourself the longer term the effects will be. Though is the game difficult enough so that you actually lose a noteworthy amount of LP on a regular basis? Because that could be a pitfall for this kind of system.

Backstory-determining dialog options are something I'd love to see more often myself :P I like the idea quite a lot.

Looks pretty intimidating O.o

So I finished Ender's Game, the audio book right. Well Orson Scott card actually had a piece at the end. Kind of reflecting on the book and how it got published/made and how he was fighting with people for so long about keep things the same for it to be turned into a movie. AND THEN he had another bit after the "thanks for listening to audible" thing where he talked about how people reached out to him about his book that he never expected to be fans of it. How it resonated with people he didn't even think about. He went on to explain why he thinks people resonated with it. That it's a story about a character that has the whole world going against him, manipulating him, and that that reflects to a lot of people about their own life. That they aren't always in control of the world and some people will want you to do certain things. But his point was that while the world may try to give you the things that it wants you to do, people will do this, you as a person are the one in the end doing everything. You can't change the world or the people but you can change you.

And I was like, "Damn I need to be writing." hahah I can't change the world but I can do what I want to do and that's write!

So I bought Scrivener lol.

I was using google drive stuff for organizing. I decided to pull out this past year's nano novel that I didn't get very far in. I was breaking it up as scrivener does. And I pulled up my first chapter.

OKAY LET ME REWIND.

I was e-stalking your scrib profile to see if you had WK's account. I was at work so I was just skimming things but I saw you submitted something else! So I just skimmed the critiques to see how they went for you and saw someone say you had too much telling instead of showing.

Fast forward to when I re-read my first line and I thought "damn, I have that problem too." Since that short, skimmed critique of your work I hadn't even read yet haha

So I re wrote the first two paragraphs. Well they were 189 words. Annnd it changed to 558 words. Maybe scriv will help me actually write.

ACTUALLY

I suppose. I've never actually owned a portable console before. I also feel like it's been forever since I last played a new game (with game-y gameplay) and got completely hooked by it.
