I'm gonna share some character concepts for upcoming seasons because I like to overshare (and I like writing strong, capable, pretty, smart and hot women)

The titles for chapters 36.3 and 37 are references (one is from JJBA and the other is the title of a mystery novel that has stuck with me for so many years)

The inactivity this week can be explained by my full-time job and also the paint fumes in my house...

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 6d

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 9d

Read Chapter 36.3: Phantom Blood on #RoyalRoad

Yes, the title is a JJBA reference. You can do nothing about it.

my full-time job says no

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 9d

some older ppl are so set in their ways oh mah goodness (decades of experience btw)

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 9d

Oh years of experience this, years of experience that... if you decided to stop learning 10 years into your 25 years of experience, we would end up with out-of-touch dinosaurs who know jack about how things are done in the new age

The stuff on my blog isn't super duper polished, but I think that's the spirit of it: to be genuine and try. Not everything has to be perfect there

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 11d

I try to write in a different and new style every now and then~ It may not be the most polished, but at least I tried

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 11d

Tldr is that i started writing it while I was still a student

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 13d

Im not that good at it anw LOL

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 13d

another thought: a reviewer mentioned that I dont use contractions (eg. wasnt -> was not)

wasnt critical but just a style choice and I guess I'll do a blog post abt it (short one)

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 13d

The thing about having both tech and writing background is that I get irritated by how I have to manually upload chapters and social media posts.

"I can automate this," I say as I have not much passion for tech (but i work in tech for a paycheck)

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 16d

Woop woop, dropping in so that yall know im alive

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 20d

So imma just dona quick lil revision before anyone realises HAHA

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 20d

so the thing about giving a character accessories is that I forget about them sometimes

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 21d

These short stories are canon, but a bit experimental when it comes to narration styles.

Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas @lingeringwanderer.bsky.social · 21d

There are new chapters out this week! And with the release of Chapter 33.3: Angels and Demons comes a new short story! Check it out here: lingeringwanderer.work/others/gosw-...
