I love this movie to bits and also want that book. It genuinely scared me, and that is difficult for a movie to do. Watching it as a parent added a new layer of fear, putting it close enough to reality to give me the worst, most vivid nightmares I'd had since childhood. >.<

I will work on #BeneaththeBrine, my ocean #horror novella, Monday. Until then, here is a bit of it I wrote yesterday...to prove I am writing and not just yelling at the spellcheck.

Spellcheck hates me for my vast and archaic vocabulary.

Looking through #WealdandWen and playing with formatting before starting on edits, because why not just do that now it's not like I'm trying to finish a short story and novella by Halloween or anything.

Spellcheck, "what is 'brume', what is 'perse', 'snuck' is not a word"

I wish to murder.

It is fun to complain, mildly, about all the things I have to do in order to get this novel out into the world only to have someone pop into my comments trying to sell me their editing services.

I don't care how nicely you do it, I'm not looking for help, I didn't ask. Please don't do that.

He gets angry, typically. A sadistic, salacious rage would be more apt. The target of which he'll take apart and play with. Or find something else to do that with if said target isn't a living thing or one of his mechanical eyes he imbued with emotion.

...it makes him happy to hurt things.

Because he's haunting me about the next book, I'm going to use #WealdandWen 's Parnamyr for this one.

He's highly organized, methodical and obsessively tidy. Also terribly emotional; the slightest provocation can ruin everything.

One does not want Parnamyr to be spontaneous.

...show them Berserk >.>

Guess who forgot to eat and did a bunch of things and is now suffering for their poor decisions? (I am an idiot)

Editing is essential. I have bouts of obsessive energy wherein I ignore everything else to write. The house will be a mess and my family and I probably starving but hey...I got a novel. Can't guarantee it'll be any good but it's there.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

#WealdandWen doesn't have any mentioned. But, due to how the main three treat possessions and the forethought of giving something to another, you could probably give any of them a leaf they watched you pick up off the ground and they'd treasure it.

Delgrij gives the best gifts >.>

This is very true and thank you. I wish you the same. ^.-

It...so much T^T

Not sure I'll get the novella or short done in time this year because edits and covers but the novel is done. It is in beta hands. It might make it. I hope.

I published four shorts and a novella one year, one short the next and planning a short, novella and novel this year. Also drafted four novels (160k-220k in length) over two years but haven't published them because editing and cover art is time-consuming and I'm doing this alone.

Parnamyr. He's somewhat of a living puppet who makes puppets of living things and 'plays' with them often. Highly intelligent and deeply flawed, the only things he cares for as more than toys are his sister and his creator. Though he does toy with his sister often enough to be uncomfortable.

With Bluesky's new impending guidelines looking a lot like censorship, there's a decent chance promoting my work here after October 15th will get me banned

I'll still try & see what happens, but now's a good time to sign up for my newsletter if you want to stay in touch. Subscribe at the link below

I want to join the groups going for archons or eidolons, because it is impossible to do those alone, but I will have a panic attack.

So I'll slowly grind rep with dumb 90s kids and tortured plant people until they stop giving me things to do, never quite reaching max potential on any of my frames.

It is weird to play MMOs as someone who doesn't like to play with strangers. It used to be different and I made friends through random groups but I've grown more nervous over the years and can't even handle the rush groups that don't speak.

Which is to say Warframe has become difficult to play. T^T

As if she weren't already a terrifyingly chic fashion icon. (This is cute though)

Mushy vampires for you today, #WIPSnips as the wheel said #BeforeDeluca and the first instance of this word brought this

I don't normally do this, but I've been burning the candle at both ends.

Other half had a major op earlier this year and now I'm in hospital for an investigation.

Regardless of what's wrong, I need rest, but I've had little work this year.

I'd appreciate if anyone is able to help out.

The same can be said if they *ask* for a commission without you ever seeing them previously. Without them ever liking a thing. You post a dumb little art and here's some guy with no face asking you to message them immediately so they can commission you.

They are a bot, friends. A lying bot.

Okay I might have gotten carried away...
