Feels like a nice milestone. Maybe when I reach 50,000 words typed up I’ll buy myself a lil treat :)

Words are a visual and audible representation of a meaning.

They're not a product!

So FFS search engines of the world, when I look up a single word, I want the DEFINITION of the word as the top result!

Not the company or product that has glommed onto the word like a Ceratiidae.

I usually try to avoid letting whatever im watching or reading influence my writing because it often causes an idea to get a little bit out of control but you know what I think ill let hellsing influence my writing. I think I need to get weirder with my vampires

The good news is called in sick and wrote for a few hours today.

The bad news is it was a new idea I got excited about at 1:40 am, and not related to any of my existing works-in-progress.

~Mini update

All the little indie projects and creators I've been consuming these past few days have reignited the "Holy crap I need to lock in and write my story" fire in me.

So I did! I have finished already Volume 2 of Dr. Kraussen, my story about an alien scientist and his two guards. You can check it out on Neocities:

Or check it out on Royal Road:

I've decided that for this second part of the year I'm gonna focus on three main things:

Keeping my Neocities up to date, since there's a couple short stories that I need to add and some html that isn't working the way it's supposed to.

Working towards finishing the second draft of WCB book 1 by the end of the year. I don't know if I'll be able to, but at least I want to focus on this before continuing writing draft 1 for book 3. Hopefully next year I can get beta readers on book 1, and go on to edit draft 3.

Start a new side wip on Royal Road. This is mostly to get more eyes on my writing, since I don't know how else to do it, as well as keep practicing writing. Dr. Kraussen Vol. 3 is halfway done, so by the time I finish it and upload it I want to already have something else going on here.

Have a nice summer!
