i will also probably talk about writing with this account. its a lot smaller here and that feels safer for now.
im very early into this book, but this is such a phenomenal read and resource for my writing.
as i start writing with more regularity, i really want to be intentional about building my skills and honing this craft.

but honestly life kinda happened.
while ive been reading, its a lot less. but mostly cause this webnovel i started has like 2500 chapters and my goodness its a lot. getting back to a regular writing schedule as well, so hopefully i can post updates here for accountability for the rest of the year.

eventually i’ll get out of this crazy ffxiv only rut i have atm.
i do want to get back to reading (i am LOVING the fifth season). but until my brain stops hyperfixating, thats on pause.
i will say, the story in this game is incredible, so i expect i’ll get through this final expansion really fast.

this sort of naked cynicism is jarring, but you’re going to see more of it because this is how kleptocracy works. it makes groveling and sycophancy the rational choice, because it will very often be rewarded.
