OKIE so I've been working on amnesia fic like I said I would because I want to FINISH IT. it's close to the end I think. it's at like 18.5k rn and I think it's gonna be finished at like 25k, at least for the first draft.
I've not made as much progress on amnesia fic as I would like bcs I said NO NEW PROJECTS and then proceeded to write 5k words of a transfem jake fic that is just UNPOSTABLE. might still post it though. we will see. I also was working on ouroboros a little bit but that doesn't count because that's not a NEW project I'm allowed to do that.
ANYWAY NANO STARTS THIS WEEK!! starts TOMORROW actually which. shit that's soon. I still don't really know what I'm gonna do. I need to settle on an idea. uhhhhhhh probably something with demons maybe. or magic. or just like a romcom. NOT SURE WILL CONFIRM LATER
books
ok soooooooo uh. I have something to Confess. I accidentally turned optics into a brick. yeah like a solid brick of paper. it's my bad. I tried to gild the edges in a way that ABSOLUTELY has not worked. and I uh. yeah. the pages. there are no pages. it's a block now. so that's a setback
I'm leaving it to fully dry out and HOPING I can slice the pages apart individually BUT I might have to just start from scratch which isn't the worst thing in the world but WE'LL SEE. on the bright side the edge gilding looks absolutely SICK. just fucking incredible. it really worked well if you are not interested in your book having pages or being a book. so yeah the method needs some work but it LOOKS great
other
YEAH!! job now. that's fun. it's taken a lot of the stress off my shoulders to at least know I've got some money coming in. or like, the prospect of some money coming in. I've been having anxiety dreams about emails from all the thousands of forms and information requests they've been emailing me but I think it's still net less stressful overall lmao
oooh we had game night in the janda server for the first time the other night and it was so fun!! we played jackbox and it was an extremely good time. also played an accent game because we are hashtag international. very cool very fun night :)
I don't wanna keep talking about health stuff a lot bcs I don't wanna make it like a Whole Thing but I'm feeling better about it. like I'm managing better. it's shitty but I'm managing. I think that's all you can do. I don't know. I've never been good at like. rationing. only a little bit now so that I have some left for later. I'm not good at that shit but I'm working on it. onwards and upwards I guess??
OH and the janda exchange closes tonight!! exciting. I have no idea why I set two weeks for giftee assignments because I'm almost definitely gonna do it with 24 hours lmao but!!! still exciting
SO YEAH that's what's goin on with me. I might start talking about nano here if I even end up doing it lmao. but!!! lots of stuff in the works. I'm having fun creatively. I have to cut a book to pieces with a box cutter. lots on the agenda for me!!!!

anyway books don't have to be functional they can just be decoration. or like a prop in a movie. or your own web series???
i ALSO have no idea what i'm doing for nanowrimo by which i mean i have seventy ideas all with no substance and also i started a new programming project aka game like 2 days ago. which requires its own plot!!!!
but i might adapt this queer vampire short story from like the 1890s. it has themes motifs etc. and it's quite tragic because the author clearly saw the gay part of himself as corrupting the childlike innocent part of himself. but the story is also about what if a hot guy came to your house which is sooo real. <3
