Me: once I finish Alan Wake 2 I'll be free to navigate the internet without fear of spoilers!

Me now: once I finish Alan Wake 2 a second time I'll finally be free to navigate the internet without fear of spoilers!

These are both the same scripts

I swear there’s an actual plot happening, I’m just procrastinating on tumblr

Guess any specific details you think might be in the screenplay. I bet you can’t figure out the plot

Drat. The eternal question- Color or no color??

final draft is such a cool software because you pay 200 dollars for it and then a few years later they're like "oh we made it so your software won't work anymore 😔" so you pay another 60 bucks for an upgrade that's functionally the same plus the neat feature where it crashes every time you open it

Heads up to my three loyal fans...I'm planning to get False Horizon up on Ao3 this coming weekend! I've got a real actual almost-final draft here. I started this project exactly one year ago, with my post on (checks notes) the novel I would never write. 😅 It wound up being a novella. I learned how to use Scrivener, which I absolutely LOVE. It lets me bounce back and forth between scenes--super helpful for writing with ADHD, lol.

And friends, did you know you can get Scrivener to do things like focus on adverbs? Or verbs, or prepositions--about eight choices, including focusing on just the dialogue. SO helpful. It grays out all the text that's not your current focus.

And there's the word count, which you can see by days, months, or both. The "Draft" column is the actual story. "Other" is notes, like character & location notes.

Here's my word count by month:

I had a lot in March 2025 because I was shifting things from text documents to Scrivener. I'm amused that my January total is precisely 3. January has positive and negative days, but they offset each other almost perfectly. The current, almost-final draft stands at 49,778 words.
