Something about taking nephews (+ one's gf) to their first punk show. Then listening after for two hours talking about all the cool shit they saw and did (& pit time). Smaller scene than 80s RVA, but that energy exists. Even by proxy, for a cranky old punk such as myself, watching from the corners.

1) We are always here for more Trek. 2) If this doesn't scream "kitchen table polycrew"* we don't know what would.

* yes. That was on porpoise**

** Carl in Cetacean Ops insisted on that.

The rough dirt for Act 1 is complete and live. Nearly 30k words. Revised cover line art to include more of the protagonists. Didn’t get beyond flats, tho.

In our defense, we only discovered it in August of '24 and have been working through the backlog.

Because 1) it's good 2) humans are weird 3) history is fascinating 4) time is a flat circle 5) AaaAaAuggh

The fact that we read this and waited a couple seconds *just in case*...then wondered if our eyes would stay connected long enough for the brain to process it probably says a lot about our mental health.

In around `89/`90, we'd just left the thrift Exile on Grace in RVA, and walked to a nearby Burger King. The carnage inside...was a spectacular kind of terrible. Don't know what happened -- pretty certain it involved Balsac, Slymenstra, and something about pickles.

Seems GWAR have mellowed.

About 45k words into the project, but we're only dropping Prologue, Chapter 0, and Chapter 1 now. Will drop new chapters (most 6k) once/twice a week.

Mature dark urban fantasy and magical girl deconstruction(?) through a filter of mental illness, trauma, and identity. TW for...all sorts of stuff.

Writing update: 33.2k words. 4k words is enough for the day.

Your Generation (Generation X), Gotta Go (Agnostic Front), Scin (I:Scintilla), and Cars (Fear Factory's cover) was an absolutely lovely random soundtrack for this morning's drive. No skips.

Out of those four, only seen I:Scintilla and Agnostic Front (once, in the `80s) live.

Resharing this again. Other ways to support me in the linked posts (Patreon, KoFi, stores, Beck's stuff, etc).

Honestly, it's really stressful. This thing is looking good, but timing is still being sorted. We're out of this apartment 11/30. We don't have a new place yet, so...
Beck and I will be moving soon (good reasons)! Moving is expensive (bleh, bad)! We're both still currently unemployed which doesn't help. So, if you'd like to hire me and can pay in November, I'll write whatever you want (basically)! 👍 I can't take on more editing work at the moment tho.

Still sucking air. Quiet only due to working on projects.

Managed around 21k words the last week and ½ on a potential urban fantasy/magical girl LN.

Not impressive when math is involved & breaks that down to about 13.3 words per minute over hours worked 😅

Consuming eye candy the last week as we [slowly] work on sequentials. Hands not moving as fast as the old days.

Grabbed old issues of Wetworks, Weapon Zero, & Heavy Metal. Watched Eminence in Darkness, Your Forma, started Coffin Princess, rewatched Elfin Lied, and started old-school Dark Shadows.

Henceforth, straights should use the term SemiBi.

But being chaotic Bi, we assume semi-annual means occurring every half-year, and biannual means twice a year...but it doesn't have to be at a set half-year interval.

For the random.
"Semi" means half. "Bi" means two. So how can semiannual and biannual mean the same?

The English language is inefficient, and everyone involved in making it so should be in prison.

That is all.
