I wonder if Migi and Dali will reveal how they ended up in Superjail!

Thought I was losing my mind.

It's been all everyone's been talking about.. Isn't this game is three years old, why all the sudden hype?

I thought it been out since then.

Feel like a real author, reading a story to my gf. She fell asleep tho, but who doesn't...

Happy New Year, Tumblr.

Best thing about the new year is I can read more books.

Meanwhile, I want to discuss my 2022 books.

I read Orphan X and Nowhere Man by Gregg Hurwitz. I've read other books about Jason Bourne types, Some Jack Reacher and John Smith(Killfile and Flashmob by Chris Farnsworth.) Enjoyed them both especially Nowhere Man, where it seemed he was failing some targets.

More ahead.

Hey Tumblr,

I got an idea. Tumblr is a very visual medium. As a writer, I don't think a wall of text is appealing. I know there's a lot of artists here and I'd like to get some help and in return you get some practice. I'd give you a character and you'd get to draw them. You'd post it and I would reblog. I'm not some follower rich user, but I'd be grateful.

If this is unreasonable I'll probably delete it but if you're interested. Please feel free to DM me.

He wondered about the Time Traveler, whether he has some sort of drug addiction, low IQ or mental issue, but somehow stumbled through time.

“Where’s the remote!?”

He pressed a microphone symbol. “What's that... a remote, you say?”

The Time Traveler freezed. “Hello?”

“I’m inside my SafeSpace, Time Traveler. I’m watching you. I’m summoning the authorities for your intrusion.” He paused, curiosity getting the best of him. “W-what’s a remote?”

“A remote? The clicker? For the humongous TV?”

“Oh, uhh.. Everything’s voice controlled.”

“TV on!” He screamed at the wall mounted panel TV.

“To my voice.”

“Gnarly, dude. Soo Sci-Fi.” He said to himself.

Not not writing. Scrolling Reddit, watching YouTube with a notebook before an idea takes you for a three hour ride that stops when you notice it's 1am

Good Morning Tumblr!

Since I'm here I'm gonna write another intro. It's been years since my old one so bit of an update.

I'm Dwayne. I live in Long Island, NY. I'm a Landscaper by day and a Writer off the clock. I've been writing since 2012, at least. I've put many words on paper but only a single story, Victory Victory (pic in bio) has passed my test. I'm into D&D, SciFi and Fantasy. I come here for inspiration and enjoy the art here. I'd love to draw, but I've taken up writing. I dream of telling stories. Maybe another venture as I've started to play with Blender.
