It's time to be honest. I'm on the media deprivation week of Artist's Way, so Bluesky is blocked, but I'm posting blindly through Buffer anyway. So I have no idea how any of my posts this week are landing and frankly it's amazing

My dog is very similar to me. She looks at all the nice toys she has and insists on digging up the stinkiest, dirtiest one. That's basically how I choose my story ideas

Finally learning SugarCube after making my last 3 indie games in Harlowe (Twine). It feels like a nice step between Harlowe and something closer to a "real" coding language, like GD Script

What turned you into a horror head?
Between my biology degree and medical history, I learned very early on how many truly horrifying things happen in our bodies we typically never even notice. Until its too late. There's something...therapeutic, for me, in poking that wound, understanding it deeply

I get mad at my past self for caving to criticism and abandoning art. Then I get madder at the people who saw an ugly little fledgling artist and decided to pull out her feathers

So I'm doing the Artist's Way with a local group. I really don't know how to feel about it at this point. A lot of the blocks we've discussed up to Week 3 really resonate with me, but so far I feel less creative and more triggered than anything else...
